A dark bruise on President Donald Trump’s hand, spotted during recent Oval Office meetings, has once again stirred speculation about his health. The White House explained the mark as a result of frequent handshaking combined with aspirin use, noting it is consistent with his chronic venous insufficiency diagnosis.
The moment has revived familiar debates about presidential health and transparency, with observers scrutinizing the smallest physical details. While officials downplay concerns, the visible mark has fed into renewed public curiosity about Trump’s medical condition.
In the quiet theatre of politics, even a bruise speaks loudly. The hand, marked and covered, has become a canvas of questions—its silence fueling speculation about the burdens of power and the body that bears them.
