Joe Biden's health compared to Donald Trump's as pair face ongoing medical concerns

After Trump was pictured for the first time in days following a brief "disappearance", a recent photo of former US President Joe Biden is doing the rounds on the internet, as people draw comparisons between him and Donald Trump whilst both face continuing health worries.

In recent weeks, the 79 year old presidenthas been seen in public with swollen ankles, a severely bruised hand, and other signs that have sparked concerns about his cognitive health.

Most recently, a doctor reportedly cautioned him that his leg might require amputation after identifying a worrying medical issue.

After Trump resurfaced on the golf course following his brief absence, many were swift to point out that he didn't appear particularly healthy, with one X user making the comparison between him and Biden.

"Joe Biden vs Donald Trump today. Speaks for itself, doesn't it?

"When's the media going to wake up about Trump's failing health and give it even half the coverage they obsessed over with Biden?", reports the Express.

Donald Trump was recently diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), a condition that affects the veins - most often in the legs - leading to impaired blood flow back to the heart.

Whilst CVI is typically not considered life-threatening, it can significantly affect comfort and daily functioning.

Biden announced his cancer diagnosis back in May with a heartbreaking statement, stating:

"Cancer touches us all."

He added: "Like Like so many of you, Jill and I have learned that we are strongest in the broken places.

"Thank you for lifting us up with love and support."

Despite his health troubles, Biden is currently penning a book that will centre on his presidency.
