Where Did the Rumor Start?
The images came from Trump’s appearances at a UFC event and a political rally. Observers claimed the shape was consistent with a Foley or Texas catheter strapped to the leg.
Is There Any Real Evidence?
As of now, there is no official confirmation or medical evidence supporting the claim. The speculation is based solely on blurry or low-resolution images and subjective interpretation.
Experts and many online commenters argue that the visible shape is likely caused by wrinkled fabric, poor suit fit, or unfortunate camera angles—not a medical device.
No Official Comment—Recent Health Reports
Trump’s team has not issued a statement about the rumor. Recent medical reports released during his campaign labeled him as being in “excellent physical and cognitive health,” according to his personal physician and campaign sources.
Public Opinion Split
Reactions on social media are mixed. Some users believe the bulge is suspicious, while others dismiss it as conspiracy-driven exaggeration:
“That’s clearly just a wrinkle. If it were a catheter, it’d be much more obvious.” — Reddit comment
