The White House has clarified the source of a noticeable bruise on President Trump’s hand, which has been the subject of public curiosity. According to press secretary Karoline Leavitt, the injury occurred in an unexpected manner.
“During the Board of Peace event in Davos, President Trump accidentally hit his hand against the corner of a signing table, resulting in a bruise,” Leavitt explained. Despite the presence of numerous cameras, this particular incident appears to have escaped being caught on film.
Throughout the year, the president has been seen with a distinct bruise on his right hand. On some occasions, he has addressed the appearance by covering it with makeup or a large Band-Aid.
This year the president has frequently had a prominent bruise on his right hand.
At other times, his hand has been covered in a thick coating of makeup or with a large Band-Aid.
The White House has said the bruise stems from shaking so many hands.
But the president does not shake hands with his left hand.
“They say aspirin is good for thinning out the blood, and I don’t want thick blood pouring through my heart,” he said.
“I want nice, thin blood pouring through my heart.”
A person with thin blood is more likely to bruise.
The Journal also reported his hand started bleeding after getting a high-five from now-Attorney-General Pam Bondi at last year’s Republican National Convention.
The White House has been loath to admit any physical malady from Trump, with a statement issued in December declaring his “excellent” health.
“President Trump’s cardiovascular imaging is perfectly normal,” his osteopath Sean Barbabella said.Â
“There is no evidence of arterial narrowing impairing blood flow or abnormalities in the heart or major vessels.
“All major organs appear very healthy and well-perfused.Â
“Everything evaluated is functioning within normal limits with no acute or chronic concerns.”
By the end of his term, he will be the oldest.
“I’m helping Europe, I am helping NATO, and until the last few days when I told them about Iceland, they loved me,” he said.
“(NATO is) not there for us on Iceland, that I can tell you. Our stock market took the first dip yesterday because of Iceland.
“So Iceland’s already cost us a lot of money.”
