US President Donald Trump's health has come under fresh scrutiny after he was photographed in Washington on Tuesday with what observers said looked like heavy makeup covering discoloured skin on both hands during a state banquet for King Charles and Queen Camilla. The suggestion that the president used cosmetics to conceal bruising gained traction after journalist Aaron Rupar shared images from the event on X, prompting renewed speculation about Trump's condition.
Trump and First Lady Melania Trump hosted King Charles and Queen Camilla at a lavish White House dinner during the monarch's four day visit to the United States. The trip was intended to showcase the resilience of US UK ties and included a speech from King Charles at the banquet. Away from the formal toasts, however, close up photographs appeared to show an unusual, almost caked texture on the US president's hands when the light caught them at certain angles.
