Trump’s Outburst Follows MSNBC’s Cankle Mockery
In response to criticism from MSNBC regarding his swollen ankles, Donald Trump launched an attack on the network via Truth Social. Trump’s rant included disparaging comments about MSNBC’s upcoming name change and its parent company, NBCUniversal. The criticism stemmed from MSNBC’s coverage, particularly from anchor Lawrence O’Donnell, who mocked Trump for seemingly hiding his ankles during public appearances due to the medical condition chronic venous insufficiency. O’Donnell’s remarks pointed to the president’s health issues, which may be exacerbated by his diet and lifestyle.
