The 79-year-old president drew attention on Saturday as he departed Florida en route to the annual White House Correspondents' Dinner, with observers noting what appeared to be a thick application of makeup covering his right hand. Photographs and video clips circulated online quickly, fuelling speculation over whether the president was concealing a bruise or medical condition.
The White House has yet to issue a direct clarification regarding the appearance of Trump's hand, although officials have previously attributed visible discolouration to routine factors, including frequent handshaking and a high-dosage aspirin regimen. The renewed focus has intensified questions about transparency at a moment when the president is increasingly under public and media scrutiny.
