White House officials revealed earlier this year that he had been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, a non-life-threatening condition caused by veins struggling to return blood to the heart. This condition is common for people above 70 years of age.
During his remarks, Malhotra said cholesterol medications often come with side effects, adding: “The most common are fatigue, muscle pain. It can cause brain fog.”
He continued: “Now, I know President Trump is a remarkable man for his age, but there have been reports of that — probably exaggerated by some kind of crooked press.
