Yet instead of recapping the details of their outing, Trump used the post to stomp for Clemens, a former player with the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees, to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cRoger Clemens was easily one of the few Greatest Pitchers of All Time, winning 354 Games, the Cy Young Award seven times (A Record, by a lot!), and played in six World Series, winning two! He was second to Nolan Ryan in most strike-outs, and he should be in the Baseball Hall of Fame, NOW!\u201d Trump wrote. \u201cPeople think he took drugs, but nothing was proven. He never tested positive, and Roger, from the very beginning, totally denies it. He was just as great before those erroneous charges were leveled at him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">He added that there has been \u201cno evidence whatsoever that he was a \u2018druggie.\u2019\u201d He urged, \u201cPut him in NOW. He and his great family should not be forced to endure this \u2018stupidity\u2019 any longer!\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In an Instagram <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DNv0BJvXJR1\/?hl=en\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:post;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">post<\/a>, Kacy, 31, also a baseball player, shared a video recapping their golf game. He captioned the post: \u201cIncredible day at Trump National Washington DC with The President, Donald Trump!\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">According to a game scorecard shared by Roger, Trump lost the game, but the 63-year-old former athlete appeared impressed with his skills on the green. He added, \u201cFor everyone asking about the scorecard! Mr. President didn\u2019t miss a fairway!!\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The White House did not immediately respond to request for comment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Team Trump disclosed that he had been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) after photos of his bruised right hand and swollen ankles\u2014spotted during the 2025 FIFA World Cup on July 13\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/trump-79-had-emergency-heart-181135687.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-ylk=\"slk:sparked;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\" target=\"_blank\">sparked<\/a> fresh concerns about his health.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">CVI occurs when damaged veins slow blood flow back to the heart, typically causing swelling in the legs, according to the Cleveland Clinic. The condition, which usually affects people over 50, is considered mild and rarely leads to serious complications when managed with exercise and weight control. Experts note that weakened vein walls can also make patients more prone to bruising.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Doctors further point out that bruising is common among older adults because aging skin and blood vessels are more fragile.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Still, Trump\u2019s physician insisted the discoloration on his hand was unrelated to CVI, attributing it instead to \u201cfrequent handshaking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cRecent photos of the president have shown minor bruising on the back of his hand,\u201d the president\u2019s physician,<a href=\"https:\/\/thedailybeast.com\/trump-79-had-emergency-heart-tests-because-of-swollen-legs\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Sean Barbabella;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Sean Barbabella<\/a>, wrote in a July memo, which Karoline Leavitt read to the press pool. \u201cThis is consistent with minor soft tissue irritation from frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin, which is taken as part of a standard cardiovascular prevention regimen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"President Donald Trump was spotted flashing a bruised thumbs-up in a photo snapped at Trump National Golf Club&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":108501,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[71],"tags":[374,71380,12,427,369,51223,99,71379,3123],"class_list":["post-108500","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-boston-red-sox","tag-bruised-hand","tag-donald-trump","tag-golf","tag-new-york-yankees","tag-roger-clemens","tag-sports","tag-trump-national-golf-club","tag-white-house"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108500","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=108500"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108500\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/108501"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=108500"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=108500"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=108500"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
