Donald Trump appeared to use heavy make-up to cover a visible bruise on his right hand as he announced a three-week extension to the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire in the Oval Office on Thursday, with video from the event showing the US president keeping his left hand placed over the right for much of the appearance.
The bruise was not new. Similar discolouration had already been noticed during the White House Easter Egg Roll on Easter Sunday this year, and the recurring marks on Trump's hand have repeatedly prompted questions about his health, his circulation and the unusually determined effort to keep the issue from plain view.
