Donald Trump displayed a bruised right hand on Friday while leaving New York after a speaking event and boarding his flight back to Washington from Morristown Airport in New Jersey, reviving scrutiny of the president's health. The 79-year-old showed reporters a purple-coloured palm on the tarmac rather than hiding it, as he often has before.
Attention to Trump's hand did not begin this week. He has repeatedly appeared with makeup or bandages covering bruising, while aides have pointed to constant handshaking and his use of aspirin as the explanation. That history matters because the latest appearance stood out precisely for how uncovered it was.
