Trump Displays Dark Bruise on Hand Amid Health Concerns

US President Donald Trump has been frequently observed with a noticeable dark bruise on the back of his right hand, which he has sometimes attempted to conceal with makeup. The White House attributes the bruising to irritation from his frequent handshaking and his use of aspirin as part of a cardiovascular regimen, alongside his diagnosis of chronic venous insufficiency, a vein condition causing swelling in his lower limbs. Despite concerns and speculation about his health, Trump’s doctor and press secretary emphasize that the president remains in excellent health. The bruising was prominently visible during recent public appearances, including meetings with international leaders such as South Korean President Lee Jae Myung and others at the White House, as well as during his signing of executive orders. Some observers have criticized the intense focus on the bruise, noting that bruising is more common with age and highlighting perceived double standards in media coverage of political figures’ health. Overall, while the discoloration has drawn public and media attention, official statements maintain it is a benign side effect of his medical regimen and activity.
