GREENSBORO, N.C. — President Donald Trump was seen with bruised right hand again on Monday during an Oval Office executive order signing, reigniting public speculation about his health condition. The bruising was visible across most of the back of his right hand and was later noticed during his meeting with South Korean President Lee Jae Myung, adding to months of questions surrounding the 79-year-old president’s physical well-being.
Over the weekend, Trump was also photographed with a smaller bruise on his left hand. Just days earlier, he appeared at the People’s House museum in Washington with heavy makeup covering the same area of his right hand. This marks several occasions over the past year in which Trump was seen with bruised right hand again, including in November and February during official White House events.
White House Response – Trump Seen With Bruised Right Hand
The White House initially dismissed the markings, attributing them to Trump’s frequent handshaking. Trump himself echoed that explanation in an interview with Time magazine last December, saying the bruises were the result of “shaking hands with thousands of people.”
In July, the White House released a letter from the president’s physician, Dr. Sean Barbabella, clarifying the situation. According to Barbabella, the bruising is “consistent with minor soft tissue irritation from frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin, which is part of a standard cardiovascular prevention regimen.”
What Is Chronic Venous Insufficiency?
Chronic venous insufficiency is a vascular condition affecting around 150,000 new patients annually in the U.S., according to the National Institutes of Health. It occurs when the valves in the veins fail to function properly, making it harder for blood to return to the heart. While not life-threatening, the condition can lead to swelling, skin changes, and discomfort if left untreated.
Conclusion
While Trump has been seen with bruised right hand again, official reports continue to describe the issue as minor and related to age and frequent public interactions.
