Foreign media released photos showing a dark bruise on Donald Trump's hand during the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, reigniting online debates about the U.S. leader's health.
The issue quickly became a hot topic on social media after photos of a dark bruise on President Donald Trump's hand surfaced while he attended the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, last Thursday.
Although the White House quickly sought to ease concerns about the 79-year-old U.S. leader's health, the images only reinforced lingering questions about whether he remains fit to lead a global superpower.
Trump has frequently been seen with bruises on his right hand since returning to the White House last year, sometimes covering them with bandages or makeup. The White House explained these bruises result from extensive handshaking and aspirin intake for heart health, which can cause easy bruising.
However, the latest photos from Davos show a clearly visible bruise on Trump's left hand, located near the same area where previous bruises appeared.
When reporters asked about the bruise aboard Air Force One, Trump briefly replied that his hand had hit a table. He joked that if you love your heart, you can take aspirin, but if you want to avoid small bruises, don't take it. The White House maintained its original explanation, asserting no health issues of concern. Yet, photos from earlier events, including the "Board of Peace" project opening and the previous day, show no bruise on Trump's left hand, prompting questions about when and how the bruise occurred.
Questions about Trump's health continue due to his status as the oldest U.S. president at the time of taking office.
Earlier, Trump was photographed with swollen legs and appeared to nod off during public events. The administration later disclosed he was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, a common condition manageable with medication or specialized treatment.
Additionally, Trump's unannounced hospital visit last year fueled suspicions that the administration was concealing health information, although his personal physician later affirmed that MRI results showed excellent cardiovascular health.
