Trump’s hand under scrutiny again as new marks appear days after bruise from 'shaking hands all day'

WASHINGTON, DC: Days after a large bruise on Donald Trump’s hand stirred concerns, social media users have spotted new dark marks, this time on the palm of his right hand.
The unusual discolorations were visible as the president spoke at a White House conference on Monday, March 3, where he announced a $100 billion investment from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, reported by Ladbible.

New mystery marks appear on Donald Trump’s hands amid health speculation

Trump, known for his expressive hand gestures, raised his palms multiple times during his speech, revealing the fresh markings. Meanwhile, the original bruise on the back of his hand, first seen during his meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron on February 24, was still present.
The White House just said the mysterious makeup-covered bruise on Trump’s right hand is because he is “shaking hands all day every day.”

The White House previously downplayed concerns, attributing the initial bruising to Trump’s firm handshakes. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt assured reporters that the 78-year-old leader remains in top form.
"President Trump has bruises on his hand because he's constantly working and shaking hands all day, every day," Leavitt explained.
"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."
During a White House conference on Monday, March 3, Trump announced that Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company is set to invest $100 billion in the US.
As expected, Trump’s signature animated gestures were on full display while addressing the audience. While emphasizing his points, he raised his hands several times, inadvertently revealing dark spots on the palm of his right hand.
Trump narrowly escaped an assassination attempt in July last year.

Others suggested, “I hate Trump, but I play golf, and those looked like club contact sores. There are plenty of other reasons and clues to believe he has it.”

Another user pointed out, “Notice Trump had bruised hands last week and now in this picture, he has what appears to be blood blisters on his palm. Maybe that's why he is always wearing gloves.”
