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.

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 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.

Recent images of Donald Trump showing fresh marks on his hands have led to renewed speculation about his health, with social media users debating possible causes.

Some users expressed concern over Trump's appearance. “Again with the sores in the palm of Trump's right hand. The same one that is always bruised on top. This was taken directly off the TV from his news conference today. He's not healthy. He's declining and he knows it.”



 

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.”



 

New footage shows Trump struggling to walk

Apart from the sores there is more worrying news about the president’s health as reports claim he is now walking with a slight limp. Trump’s health is once again making headlines after multiple videos surfaced showing the president appearing to limp at recent events.

In one widely circulated clip, Trump is seen walking with a noticeable drag in his right leg as he joins Lara Trump on stage at Mar-a-Lago. The footage has fueled fresh concerns about the 78-year-old leader’s physical condition.
