Donald Trump faced fresh questions over his health in Washington on Tuesday after photographers captured the 79-year-old president with what appeared to be a thick layer of makeup caked over a bruised hand during a surprise press gaggle outside the construction site of his new White House ballroom.

Concerns that once simmered on the fringes of online commentary are now edging into mainstream political discussion as the president returns to office under an unusually intense visual and medical spotlight.
