Trump’s Hand Bruise: Spreading and Raising Eyebrows
Donald Trump was recently observed with bruises on both hands, sparking renewed speculation about their cause. Despite the visible bruising, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt reiterated the established explanation, attributing the marks to Trump’s frequent handshakes with the public. This response, originally given to explain a persistent bruise on his right hand, was repeated even as similar discoloration emerged on his left hand. The article suggests that a more straightforward explanation, such as age or medication, would have likely avoided such scrutiny, however, the White House has kept with the heroic hand-shaking injury narrative to fit in with MAGA ideals.
