Overview
- President Trump, whose right hand looked bruised and puffy in Easter Egg Roll footage Monday, drew fresh scrutiny of his health.
- The White House rejected viral weekend claims that he was taken to Walter Reed, calling the online chatter conspiratorial on its rapid response account.
- The Daily Beast reported what looked like a square of concealer on the same hand during Easter events, and a spokesman highlighted his energy and constant handshakes.
- Doctors quoted in coverage said a simple bump can cause such bruising, and common blood thinners like aspirin can make it look worse.
- Officials have earlier tied recurring hand marks to heavy handshaking and a table clip before the World Economic Forum, while outside reporting has noted fewer public events and no new medical update from the White House.
