Trump bulge video sparks online health speculation

A video of US President Donald Trump showing a bulge near his right hip has gone viral on social media, prompting theories about his health. Tennis legend Martina Navratilova suggested it was "a big diaper," Hindustan Times reports. The White House maintains Trump is in excellent health despite a prior diagnosis of chronic venous thrombosis.

The clip, shared by White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, shows Trump embracing the parents of a 12-year-old boy killed by a stray bullet, according to Times Now. Social media users speculated the bulge could be a medical device such as a left ventricular assist device or sacral nerve stimulator, but no evidence links any device to Trump.

Other users dismissed the theories, saying the bulge could be caused by a poorly fitting suit or fabric bunching. Neither the White House nor Trump's doctors have commented on the speculation. Hindustan Times notes it could not independently confirm the origin of the video.
