Trump, 79, Spotted With New Bruise on His Other Hand

Last edited Mon Aug 25, 2025, 02:58 AM - Edit history (2)

At one point in the video, as the camera pans to Trump overlooking his course, the back of his left hand comes into view, showing a dark discoloration nearly identical in placement to the one on his right hand.

Videos and photos can sometimes be mirrored, but here it’s clearly his left hand, since the “TRUMP” logo on the back of Trump’s hat is correctly oriented.

When reached for comment, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt did not deny the existence of a new bruise.

“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. His commitment is unwavering and he proves that every single day,” Leavitt told the Daily Beast in a statement.

I'm wondering if he went to support Nancy Mace and greeted all eight of the people that showed up at her rally?

This could've done it.

I hope it was painful for a stretch of time.

I'm sure that her explanation will show up as an argument supporting Trump on many social media.

More makeup may be in order for the president.

Donald Trump sports a new bruise on his left hand in an instagram post by Roger Clemens.
The Daily Beast/Roger Clemens/Instagram

A new bruise has appeared on President Donald Trump’s left hand, adding to the one he’s had on his right hand for months, amid mounting questions about his health.

The 79-year-old president hit the links with former Major League Baseball player Roger Clemens and his son Kacy at Trump National Golf Club in Virginia on Saturday.

Plenty of injection space elsewhere. Drugs can irritate veins. They have to keep moving around to new locations.

Trump Desperately Hides Hand on Camera After Makeup Mishap
HAND OVER FIST
The MAGA figurehead conspicuously took matters into his own hands after a glob of makeup failed to do the trick.

President Donald Trump was captured on camera noticeably hiding his right hand heavily caked in makeup as he spoke to journalists from the Oval Office at the end of the week.

Trump, 79, had a full presidential plate on Friday: He visited National Guard troops, deployed

My mother was on dialysis for the last few years of her life. This is what her hands looked like afterward.

so the docs had to switch to his other hand. And the bullshit coming out of press sec'y Leavitt is such disgusting spin as many know that TSF is a well known germaphobe as does not shake more hands than in president in history. The reverse is more likely to the germaphobic trump.
