\u201cLate Show\u201d host Stephen Colbert<\/a> said the effort to negotiate an end to the war with Iran hasn\u2019t gotten very far, causing President Donald Trump<\/a> to extend the ceasefire. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But Trump denied feeling any \u201cpressure.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI read the Fake News saying that I am under \u2018pressure\u2019 to make a deal,\u201d Trump wrote on Truth Social<\/a>. \u201cTHIS IS NOT TRUE! I am under no pressure whatsoever, although, it will all happen, relatively quickly! Time is not my adversary.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cOh yeah?\u201d Colbert shot back. \u201cHave you taken a gander at your ankles lately?\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

With that, Colbert showed his audience a photo of the president\u2019s swollen ankle taken last year: <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cIt\u2019s never a good sign when your shoes have a muffin top,\u201d Colbert cracked.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The White House has said that Trump suffers from chronic venous insufficiency<\/a>, which involves poor blood flow from the legs back to the heart. That, in turn, leads to the swelling around the feet and ankles often seen in photos of the president.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
