A new set of photos showing a curious bulge in President Donald Trump’s pant leg has gone viral, sparking wild online speculation about his health. The images, captured during his appearance in the White House Rose Garden, quickly drew thousands of comments after being shared on X, formerly Twitter, with users asking, “What’s going on here?”
Some claimed the bulge hinted at a medical device such as a Foley catheter, while others suggested it might be a leg brace for a condition like “drop foot.” Theories spiraled from neurological concerns to jokes about hidden tubing, as more photos from a recent UFC event seemed to show a similar outline.
However, Trump’s physician, Captain Sean Barbabella, recently confirmed that the president remains in excellent health following an extensive five-hour exam at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. Trump reportedly scored a perfect 30/30 on his cognitive test.
Despite the online frenzy, official reports—and Trump’s energetic public schedule—suggest there’s nothing mysterious about his health. As one observer quipped, “It seems the only thing swelling is the internet’s imagination.”
