Speaking on New York's WABC 770 AM, Tommy Tuberville blamed President Donald Trump's health issues on the Left.
"The pressure on somebody like President Trump right now, not just from outside entities […] all over the world, but also fighting the radicals in this country," he said. "Every day, it's almost like a fistfight."

Tommy Tuberville's comments come after the White House confirmed that doctors recently diagnosed President Donald Trump with chronic venous insufficiency — a condition that affects blood flow in the legs and is common in people over 70.
The diagnosis helps explain Trump's noticeably swollen ankles, which had sparked concern and speculation online.

President Donald Trump made headlines after viral photos showed his ankle appearing swollen during the Club World Cup soccer final.
In response, the White House medical unit conducted a thorough evaluation "out of an abundance of caution."
President Trump's physician, Sean Barbarella, confirmed there was "no evidence" of blood clots or arterial disease. "All results were within normal limits," the memo stated. "An echocardiogram was also performed and confirmed normal cardiac structure and function. No signs of heart function, renal impairment, or systemic illness were identified."
