Former President Donald Trump is once again facing scrutiny over his health after a persistent bruise on his right hand was spotted during multiple public appearances. On Wednesday, Trump told reporters on the North Lawn that he was inspecting where to place a flagpole. However, close-up photos revealed what appeared to be concealer covering a black-and-blue mark above his thumb.
Observers have noted the bruise since at least February, when it was visible during a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron. The White House attributed the mark to Trump “constantly working and shaking hands all day every day,” according to Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.
The 78-year-old also appeared to be limping during a March 2 event with daughter-in-law Lara Trump, further fueling speculation.
Despite this, a recent medical report authored by Walter Reed’s Capt. Sean P. Barbabella states, “President Trump remains in excellent health… exhibiting robust cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and general physical function.”
