President Donald Trump sparked health concerns on Friday, after the 79-year-old was spotted with heavy makeup on his hand. A large patch of what appeared to be foundation was visible when Trump visited an exhibit at the People\u2019s House museum. He kept his left hand folded over his right as he spoke at the Oval Office, and the makeup was visible again.
This comes weeks after Trump’s physician, Sean Barbabella, admitted that the president has had minor bruising on the back of his hand. \u201cThis 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,” he said.

The White House, however, clarified what causes this repeated bruising. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt issued a statement on Friday, saying: \u201cPresident 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.” The statement was made to the Independent.
This is not the first time that President Trump has used makeup to cover the bruises on his hand. After his meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron at the White House in February, a similar patch was spotted. The makeup also appeared late in July when the 79-year-old met European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in Scotland, and at a meeting with UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer.

\u201cScrolling Getty and couldn’t help but notice this photo of a huge bruise on Trump’s hand today,\u201d journalist Aaron Rupar pointed out on X, platform formerly known as Twitter, back then.
\u201cThat’s the kind of IV bruise you get when you’re on blood thinners. What are they pumping him with?\u201d one X user reacted to Rupar’s post.
White House physician Barbabella has already declared that Trump is in \u2018excellent cognitive and physical health\u2019. He added that Trump\u2019s hand bruises could be from the aspirin he takes to prevent cardiovascular disease.<\/p>\n
