New Left-Hand Bruising on Trump Prompts Fresh Health Questions

Experts describe the marks as common in older adults, with the White House offering no new details.

Overview

  • Recent photos show discoloration on the back of President Trump's left hand, adding to a months‑long bruise on his right hand.
  • The White House cites frequent handshakes and a regular aspirin regimen, while declining to expand on the explanation this week.
  • Physicians interviewed by CNN say the appearance is likely benign for someone his age and note that aspirin can increase bruising.
  • Some clinicians say incomplete disclosure about medications and testing fuels scrutiny, though they report no specific new medical concern.
  • The renewed focus follows a July diagnosis of chronic venous insufficiency and an October MRI that his doctor said returned perfectly normal cardiovascular and abdominal results.
