Trump's Hand Makeup and Health Concerns While Meeting World Leaders

President Donald Trump has made headlines for using makeup to conceal bruising on his hands while engaged in meetings with global leaders in Scotland, amidst his golf activities. Photos of his encounter with Ursula von der Leyen, the President of the European Commission, revealed noticeable concealer on the back of his right hand. This makeup was also evident during his subsequent meeting with U.K. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, as well as when he departed from the White House aboard Marine One.

At 79 years old, Trump has developed persistent bruising that some attribute to the frequent handshakes associated with his presidential duties and an aspirin regimen he follows. Although a medical report from July mentioned this bruising alongside a diagnosis of chronic venous insufficiency (CVI)—a common condition found in older adults—speculation on social media about the causes continues. The reasons behind Trump's use of makeup to cover these marks have not been clarified.

There have been ongoing concerns regarding Trump's health and mental sharpness, being the oldest individual to assume the presidency. The White House maintains that he is in excellent health, despite eyes being drawn to a significant bruise on his hand during a February visit from French President Emmanuel Macron. Moreover, some observers noted potential swelling around his ankles during his appearance at the FIFA Club World Cup Final. Following this, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt issued a statement from the White House physician, indicating that Trump underwent a comprehensive examination which confirmed the diagnosis of CVI. The physician reported that the minor bruising is a normal consequence of frequent handshaking and aspirin use, describing it as a benign side effect associated with the medication.

I can’t believe there are whispers about his health and mental sharpness. This is serious!

As an older president, I think he’s doing well to manage expectations and appearances.

At least he's taking care of his appearance while fulfilling his duties. A little makeup doesn't hurt!

Why are we ignoring the fact that his health could impact national security?
