Donald Trump is facing fresh questions over his health after photographs appeared to show both of his hands badly bruised in the Oval Office on Wednesday, just hours after the US president abruptly cancelled a planned signing ceremony for a major housing bill in Washington. The images, shared widely online, emerged as a Democratic lawmaker suggested Trump may have received an experimental drug normally reserved for people with a 'terminal illness' a claim the White House has strongly denied.
The row blew up after Trump pulled out of a high-profile event to sign the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, a bipartisan measure designed to cut housing costs and expand availability after it passed both the House and the Senate this week. Instead of appearing at the Capitol, Trump posted on his Truth Social platform on Wednesday morning that the 'Housing News Conference and Signing is hereby cancelled' until Congress passes his preferred SAVE AMERICA ACT, which he described as a 'National Emergency.'
