Overview
- Two large bandages were visible on the back of the president’s hand at a cabinet meeting, the 2026 FIFA World Cup draw and the Kennedy Center Honors on Sunday.
- Recent sightings mark a shift from earlier efforts to obscure a recurring bruise with makeup during public events.
- The White House says an October 'preventative' MRI was part of a routine physical and reiterates that the president’s health remains excellent.
- Trump called the MRI results 'perfect,' offered to release them, and declined to say what area was imaged.
- Speculation on social media and from a Democratic lawmaker about IV treatments or Alzheimer’s drugs remains unverified as the president’s physician reports normal advanced imaging and 'perfect overall health.'
