Social media users have once again raised concerns about Donald Trump’s health after images showing a mark on his right hand circulated online. The mark, which some believed to be a bruise, first appeared earlier this year during his meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron. At the time, many speculated about the cause, with some suggesting that the bruise appeared frequently on the same hand. Some even claimed Trump might have covered the mark with makeup. In response, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that Trump meets more Americans and shakes hands more frequently than any other president, attributing the bruises to his busy schedule.

This week, the mark reappeared during a meeting with Irish leader Micheál Martin, leading to renewed speculation on social media. Skin expert Dr. Anatalia Moore explained that as people age, their skin becomes more fragile, and minor bumps can cause bruises that take longer to heal. She added that bruises tend to be darker and larger in older individuals, as their body’s healing process slows down. The mark could be a result of such natural aging effects, especially considering Trump’s age.
