During a recent press conference in the Oval Office, President Donald Trump, 79, revealed his discomfort with standing for long durations. The president, who has faced ongoing concerns about his health, chose to take a seat midway through the event after noting his fatigue from a previous press conference that lasted an hour and a half. While discussing new initiatives to improve access to IVF with Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Trump humorously pondered the dilemma of whether to remain standing or sit, eventually deciding on the latter. Despite expressing fatigue, Trump's physician has reported that he is in good health, although he has been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, which can lead to leg swelling. The White House has consistently supported Trump's health, highlighting his active lifestyle and overall vigor.
