Cankles...: Trumps Bulging Ankles And Drooping Face Rock MAGA
Donald Trumps swollen ankles are back under the microscope after fresh images from the September 11 remembrance ceremony reignited scrutiny over the presidents health and stamina. Seated beside First Lady Melania Trump at the Pentagon, Trump appeared to have noticeable swelling around his ankles and lower legs. The White House has previously acknowledged that Trump has chronic venous insufficiency, or CVI, a condition that can make it harder for blood to return from the legs to the heart and can cause lower-leg swelling. Similar swelling was also noticed during Trumps appearance at the G7 Summit in France in June. Trump himself addressed the issue in January, telling The Wall Street Journal that he had tried compression socks but disliked wearing them, saying he instead tries to avoid sitting for long periods. The 80-year-old president has also pointed to golf as exercise, although he frequently uses a golf cart.

Also, I had done a bit of journalism in Varanasi. I approached The Times of India. Those days, they used to publish a magazine called Madhuri. Vinod Tiwari was the editor. I met him and revealed that I am the son of Anjaan and that I have been struggling. He was a very good friends with Daddy. I asked him if I could write articles for the magazine. He replied, Madhuri gets published every fortnight. I promise that every 15 days, Ill publish your interview. For each article, Ill pay you Rs. 500. Mujhe toh laga ki Rs. 5 crores mil raha hai (laughs). Sameer continued, The first interview I did was of Shakti Kapoor. Then, I interviewed Shashi Kapoor, Waheeda Rehman, Mithun Chakraborty, etc. I asked a controversial question to Mithun. Those days, he was (allegedly) having an affair with Ranjeeta. I asked him about it. He got very angry. Unka dimaag kuch bahut kharab tha uss din. He retorted, Kuch bhi sawaal karte ho. I said, I have heard (that you are dating Ranjeeta) (laughs)! He replied, Tum log suni-sunayi baaton pe humse kyun sawaal karte ho?. He then said, Maine bhi suna hi ki tumhara Sridevi se affair chal raha hain! Sameer then stated, I clarified and he nicely told me, Dekho, beta, you are young. Ask only those questions that you know about. Rumours are very common in our industry.
