Donald Trump's Hands Are Covered In Bandages

Throughout Trump’s second presidency, he’s been spotted with bruising on his hand numerous times, and many users online think it’s a sign of failing health. On the back of his right hand, there’s a large, black-and-blue bruise that covers most of his hand, and even makeup isn’t hiding it from view.

In photos from Donald Trump's visit to the United Kingdom, it's very clear that he's applied a heavy amount of concealer to the back of his hand and is trying to hide the bruise from view. Back in July, the White House actually addressed the discoloration, claiming it’s due to "frequent hand shaking and the use of aspirin." In a cabinet meeting last week, Trump sported fresh bandages and another attempt at covering things up with makeup. Despite addressing his recent MRI results, he still hasn't provided any clarity on what's going on with his hand.

Social Media Reactions

Across social media platforms, users have been sharing their concerns over the president's health: "Trump has bandages on his bruise covered hand and is falling asleep at public events almost daily," one person wrote on X, formerly Twitter. "This man is not well and I don't think MAGA can deny it anymore."

"Trump had the complexion of a Thanksgiving turkey that was left in the oven too long and bandages were again visible on the back of his right hand," another person pointed out.

"Why are these wounds on his hands taking SO long to heal or not healing at all?" another user asked.

"People can see Trump is sick," a final user pointed out. "His health has massively declined. There's no shame in being sick and suffering debilitation but you can't be the President of the United States."
