This week, President Donald Trump was seen with a bruise on his right hand, sparking speculation from left-wing commentators about a possible health issue.
The White House explained the bruise was from excessive handshaking, a claim backed by Trump himself and past reports.
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt emphasized Trump’s constant engagement with supporters as the cause, noting his dedication and tireless work ethic. Despite the explanation, critics on social media claimed the bruise resembled past marks and speculated about a hidden medical condition.
Trump, known for once being a germaphobe, has said he’s had to adapt due to the sheer number of handshakes he gives. Campaign trail accounts also support the explanation, describing fans squeezing his hand forcefully.
Meanwhile, Trump allies accuse media figures of ignoring concerns about Joe Biden’s health.
