Trump’s recurring bruise sparks concern despite official response

Here’s a shorter version that keeps the key details and meaning:


As Donald Trump held a custom football and honored the Navy Midshipmen for their championship win, attention shifted to a familiar sight — a mysterious bruise on his right hand.

This wasn’t the first time strange marks on Trump’s hand sparked speculation about his health. The buzz began after photos from a meeting with French President Macron showed a dark bruise, drawing more attention than the event itself.

Social media quickly lit up. Users noted the bruise had appeared before, often in the same spot, with some suggesting it looked like an IV mark or was concealed with makeup.

The White House dismissed the rumors, with Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt attributing the bruise to Trump’s frequent handshaking, calling him “a man of the people.”

Still, in mid-March and again on April 15, new photos showed the bruise had returned. Experts weighed in, saying such bruising could come from minor trauma, aging skin, or medical procedures like blood draws.

Though Trump praised the Navy team as “true American warriors,” it was the mark on his hand — possibly hidden under makeup — that stole the spotlight once again.
