The state of the 78-year-old’s hand has left his supporters concerned
People claim to have spotted more unusual marks appearing on Donald Trump’s hands, just days after he was seen sporting a large bruise.
Social media users have been keeping a close eye on the US President’s meathooks over the last week after one of them seemed to be black-and-blue.
The contusion was visible on the 78-year-old’s right hand during his meeting with French leader Emmanuel Macron last Monday (February 24).
It sparked concern that Trump’s second stint in office was taking a physical toll on him – but the White House later insisted it was simply a result of him constantly doling out firm handshakes.
Press secretary Karoline Leavitt, 27, told reporters: “President Trump has bruises on his hand because he’s constantly working and shaking hands all day every day.
“President Trump is a man of the people, and he meets more Americans and shakes their hands on a daily basis than any other president in history.
“His commitment is unwavering and he proves that every single day.”
Maybe a few of the world leaders who have sat down with Trump in the Oval Office over the last seven days gripped his hand a smidge too hard as they greeted one another, eh?
I can certainly think of a few people who would rather offer him a bone-crushing handshake rather than limply extending an arm towards him.
Now, it appears as though two more mystery marks have cropped up on the Commander-in-Chief’s hands, but this time, they are on his palm.

At a White House conference on Monday (March 3), he announced that chipmaking giant Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company is investing $100billion in the US.
As we are all aware, Trump is quite theatrical with both his speech and his body language when he’s in front of the cameras.
So inevitably, he thrust his hands in the air a few times while accentuating his points – revealing a couple of dark marks on the palm of his right hand.
The bruise on the backside of his hand was also still visible.
The cause of these strange marks on his palm, which have seemingly appeared sometime over the last week, currently remains unclear.
LADbible have contacted the White House for comment.
Don’t worry too much about Trump though, as he’s something of a cat with nine lives.
He survived an assassination attempt in July last year, and a visualisation of the shock shooting suggested that it would have been fatal if he didn’t move his head slightly seconds before.
As well as this, he’s the President of the US who has access to the best healthcare in the world – so rest assured, even if the marks are a result of something sinister, Trump will be in good hands.
