Donald Trump's shifting hand bruises have triggered a fresh burst of health speculation after new photographs showed a dark mark on his left hand as the US president signed legislation in public this week. The images, which circulated quickly on social media, arrived amid renewed attention on reports that Trump saw 22 medical specialists during last month's annual physical.
The bruising has been under scrutiny for some time. The White House says Trump is in 'excellent health' and has repeatedly said the marks are the result of daily aspirin use and frequent handshakes. It has also said the leg swelling some observers noticed was caused by chronic venous insufficiency, which it describes as a common, mild but ongoing condition associated with ageing.
