WASHINGTON — President Trump was recently seen with a new bruise on his left hand—this time without the usual makeup coverage—fueling renewed speculation about his health.
Previously, bruising on his right hand had often appeared smeared with mismatched makeup, which the White House attributed to frequent handshaking and aspirin use. The fresh mark now visible on his left hand has brought added scrutiny, as Trump is right-handed and rarely uses that hand for greetings. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt continues to insist the bruises result from his active public engagements and aspirin regimen.
Reports also highlight rising concern over Trump’s chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), a condition marked by swollen ankles and increased bruising due to poor blood circulation—especially common in older adults.
The nostalgic makeup fixes, visible bruises on both hands, and attempts to obscure them during public appearances continue to spark conversation and uncertainty about the president’s physical condition.
