Trump’s Large Hand Bruise Is as Bad as Ever, Despite Trump Now Using Concealer to Attempt to Cover it Up
Donald Trump was once again photographed with make up on his hand covering up some serious bruising.
On Wednesday the president appeared before reporters on the North Lawn, where he said he was inspecting where to put a flag pole. Close up photographs of his right hand showed he applied some kind of concealer or foundation onto a fairly large black-and-blue bruise.
This bruise has been fairly consistently on that hand for months, and has sparked concerns about his health. Back in February, people noticed a similar bruise in the same place during Trump’s meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron at the White House. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt bizarrely attributed the bruise to “constantly working and shaking hands all day every day.”
WH Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt:
โPresident Trump has bruises on his hand because heโs constantly working and shaking hands all day every day.โ

Trump’s health has been under a microscope since he took office and he has shown signs of multiple ailments since January. On March 2 he joined daughter-in-law Lara on stage at an event, and appeared to be limping.

The 78-year-old – who took office at the same age as Joe Biden -released his long anticipated medical report last week. In the initial report, which was allegedly authored by Walter Reed physician Capt. Sean P. Barbabella, shows that Trump underwent an “examination of the head, ears, nose, and throat,” which “revealed no significant abnormalities with the exception of scarring on the right ear from a gunshot wound.”
Trump was found to have some benign lesions, also known as actinic keratosis (AK), which are rough, scaly patches or bumps on the skin caused by long-term sun exposure.
“President Trump remains in excellent health, exhibiting robust cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and general physical function,” a summary of the report read. “His active lifestyle continues to contribute significantly to his well-being. President Trump’s days include participation in multiple meetings, public appearances, press availability, and frequent victories in golf events.”

“President Trump exhibits excellent cognitive and physical health and is fully fit to execute the duties of the Commander-in-Chief and Head of State,” the report concludes. The report also comes after Trump confidently praised his own health and cognitive ability following his annual physical examination.
