• 🏥 The White House stated that Trump is suffering from a vein condition that can cause swelling, but is not otherwise serious.
• 📉 A significant portion of the American public reportedly does not believe the White House's explanation, partly due to past perceived cover-ups of Biden's health.

Space Command HQ Announcement
