Donald Trump health worries mount as president, 79, spotted with another dark bruise on his hands

Donald Trump’s health came into focus Monday when he was spotted with yet another bruise on his hands, this time a dark blue one that was heavily visible.

Many have noticed bruises on the 79-year-old’s presidents hands in recent months, sometimes concealed by heavy makeup.

A sizable bruise on Trump´s right hand was exposed during his meeting in the Oval Office with South Korean President Lee Jae Myung

He was similarly bruised as he took in a golf outing with former Major League pitcher Roger Clemens on Sunday, whom Trump later vouched for a spot in the Baseball Hall of Fame.

That follows last Friday, when many noticed the president’s hand was covered with a noticeable splotch of makeup that did not match his skin tone.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt has said Trump´s hand bruising is ‘consistent’ with irritation from his ‘frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin.’

When reached by The Daily Mail for further comment, the White House re-directed us to statements made by President Trump’s doctor, Dr. Sean Barbabella, and former doctor and now Congressman Dr. Ronny Jackson.

‘Recent photos of the President have shown minor bruising on the back of his hand,’ Dr. Barbabella explained.

‘This is consistent with minor soft tissue irritation from frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin, which is taken as part of a standard cardiovascular prevention regimen.’

‘As President Trump’s former personal physician, former Physician to the President, and White House physician for 14 years across three administrations, I can tell you unequivocally: President Donald J. Trump is the healthiest president this nation has ever seen,’ added Jackson.

Jackson, who also was the physician to Barack Obama and worked in the White House Medical Unit under George W. Bush.

‘I continue to consult with his current physician and medical team at the White House and still spend significant time with the President. He is mentally and physically sharper than ever before,’ he added.

Bruises on the president’s hands, as well as possibly swolen ankles, have caused concern and curiosity from the public for the entirety of Trump’s second term.

The White House revealed last month that Trump has been diagnosed with ‘chronic venous insufficiency.’

In July, Trump appeared at a White House press gaggle with what looked like makeup covering a patch on the back of his hand, sparking concerns.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt revealed the president recently ‘noticed mild swelling in the lower legs’ and was evaluated by the White House medical unit.

Leavitt said he underwent a ‘comprehensive examination’ which included ‘diagnostic vascular studies.’

Bilateral, lower extremity ultrasounds were performed and revealed chronic venous insufficiency,’ Leavitt stated.

She said it’s a ‘common condition’ in individuals over the age of 70 and there was ‘no evidence’ of deep vein thrombosis or arterial disease.

‘The president remains in excellent health,’ Leavitt said overall.

Later that month, however, Trump was spotted with makeup on his hands during his trip to Scotland.

The president has appeared with similar bumps and bruises on his hand almost monthly since taking office in January. His hands appeared to have makeup covering one of these bruises last month as well.

Trump proclaimed he ‘did well’ in his April physical exam at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where he underwent extensive testing, including a cognitive assessment.

The exam, conducted by Trump’s new physician Dr Sean Barbabella, lasted nearly five hours.

Trump has a history of optimistic health reports, including a purported perfect score on a cognitive test in 2018.

Still, questions linger about his weight (244 pounds at his last physical) and occasional visible bruises on his hand, which aides have repeatedly attributed to vigorous handshaking.
