Trump was speaking to reporters when a camera zoomed in on the presidents hand.The mysterious recurring bruise on the back of Donald Trumps right hand reappeared on Tuesday, prompting a fresh wave of concern over the presidents health.
Trump, 79, was spotted with a healthy dose of flesh-colored concealer on his hand as he was photographed boarding Marine One at the White House on his way to Pittsburgh. Trump was speaking to reporters about Russian President Vladimir Putin when a cameraman spotted his hand and zoomed in for a closer look.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told the Daily Beast that the bruise is due to the presidents serial handshaking.
When asked if any medical reasons could explain the bruise, Leavitt said, President Trump is a man of the people and he meets more Americans and shakes their hands on a daily basis than any other President in history. His commitment is unwavering and he proves that every single day. Leavitt made similar comments last month.

Most of the time you don't even know how it happened?
I suppose this is what is happening with Trump's bruises?
It just shows that he is "old".

(1,367 posts)Hes likely getting IVs for something, hence the infiltration bruising. Given his severe edema (all those ankle pix showing up this week again), Im hoping its his heart but Id be happy to see virtually anything end him, just so hes gone.

(263 posts)First of all since when is Trump, a known germaphone who shuns physical contact as much as possible, a "serial handshaker"? Second, why isn't the bruising showing up on the sides of the hand, where the most pressure is applied during a handshake, instead of the back of the hand, where little pressure is applied?
Finally, and I know from experience, that bruising, which shows up on generally a monthly basis, is the result of two things. First, he is getting an IV treatment for some reason, every month. The back of the hand is where they stick you, especially older patients, because it is an easier stick. Secondly, to leave such a bruise he has to be on a blood thinner. Even in older patients, you don't get that kind of widespread. bruising unless you're on a blood thinner. As such this means he has a heart problem, is at risk for strokes, or some combination thereof. Combine the two, IV treatments and blood thinners, and you have a man who could kick off at anytime.

Hes on a banana peel.

He always showed up late, keep em hostage, then as soon as he finished his hateful remarks, he leaves the stage. He does not touch the unwashed. He just loves their adoration of him. Thats all he ever cares about.
So
How many of his maga base get to golf with him. He always can find time to golf, which I guess doesnt affect his game.

(37,723 posts)Is that where the fingers (which might squeeze to cause a bruise) fall?
(The thumb falls there, but anyone squeezing hard enough to cause a bruise with their tum will also cause a bruise with their fingers - on the outside of the back of the hand.)
