Video of Bulge Under Donald Trump's Suit Sparks Health Speculation Online
A video showing a bulge under former US President Donald Trump's suit during an embrace with a grieving family has sparked online speculation about his health. Trump has a history of Chronic Venous Thrombosis (CVT), which can cause swelling, but the White House states he is in excellent health. Some social media users, including Martina Navratilova, suggested the bulge might be an adult diaper, a claim that has been widely debunked due to lack of evidence.
