Donald Trump sparked concerns about his well-being after people spotted a nasty-looking bruise on his right hand.<\/strong><\/p>\n

78-year-old\u00a0Donald Trump<\/a>\u00a0was meeting with\u00a0French<\/a>\u00a0President\u00a0Emmanuel Macron earlier this week when eagle-eyed viewers noticed<\/a>\u00a0something peculiar on Trump\u2019s hand.<\/p>\n

During the engagement on Monday (February 24) Trump appeared to have bruising on his right hand.<\/p>\n

People on\u00a0social media<\/a>\u00a0immediately began to ask questions with some growing concerned this was somehow tied to a\u00a0health<\/a>\u00a0issue with the president.<\/p>\n

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt has since offered up an explanation as people began to question what could have caused the bruising.<\/p>\n

However, her answer proved to be unsatisfactory to people online, with some going as far to accuse her of lying.<\/p>\n

She said: “President Trump is a man of the people and he meets more Americans and shakes their hands on a daily basis than any other president in history.<\/p>\n

“His commitment is unwavering and he proves that every single day.”<\/p>\n

In a follow-up statement, she reiterated her point and said: “President Trump has bruises on his hand because he’s constantly working and shaking hands all day every day.”<\/p>\n

Admitting their speculation, one person on\u00a0Twitter<\/a>\u00a0wrote: “Why even lie? It’s obviously an IV bruise for blood testing or something. Is it a surprise to people that Trump is old and gets regular physician visits?”<\/p>\n

Another said: “The White House just said the mysterious makeup-covered bruise on Trump\u2019s right hand is because he is \u2018shaking hands all day every day\u2019. Yeah, no. Nope. Turns out we’re not nearly that stupid.”<\/p>\n

With a third writing: “Anyone who gets routine bloodwork can have a bruise on his hand- says nurse who has drawn a lot of blood.”<\/p>\n

While some admitted to being sceptical, others said they didn\u2019t think the bruise itself was anything the\u00a0American<\/a>\u00a0people should be particularly concerned about, due to Trump\u2019s age.<\/p>\n

One person said: “My husband had to shake hundreds of hands a day, his hands would bruise too. It\u2019s a real thing.”<\/p>\n

Another added: “That\u2019s how some old people bruise, I see grandma go through this when she hurts herself. Also takes forever to heal.”<\/p>\n

And a third wrote: “He probably hit his hand you morons! All of you that are worried about a bruise are as stupid as I thought. So everyone that is asking doesn’t get bruised?”<\/p>\n

In December last year, Trump said he would release his full medical report, however, this speculation around his well-being has left more people calling for its immediate release.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
