Photos of US President Donald Trump showing a dark bruise on the back of his right hand have reignited debate about his health and public image. The images, taken during an Oval Office meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, show a mark that has appeared in several recent public events.
Online users circulated close-up shots of the president on X, TikTok and Reddit, offering competing explanations that ranged from chronic venous insufficiency, a circulatory condition the White House previously cited, to ordinary bruising or fatigue. Some speculated that the marks might relate to cosmetic treatment or injections, though medical experts said such claims were unfounded. Others argued that the recurring discolouration warranted transparency from officials.
