A recent meeting between former President Donald Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron at the White House has generated a lot of buzz, especially after a noticeable bruise was spotted on Trump’s right hand.
The White House has explained that the bruise is a result of Trump’s frequent handshakes with the public, which is quite common given his numerous public appearances.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt pointed out that Trump’s tendency to shake hands “all day, every day” is likely the reason for the bruising. This isn’t the first time Trump has dealt with similar bruises, which he has previously linked to his handshaking habits.

The incident has sparked various theories on social media, with some users speculating that the bruise might be connected to health concerns like blood-thinning medication or simply the effects of aging.
However, Trump’s personal physician mentioned in November 2023 that he was in “excellent” health, although a detailed medical report has not been made available since 2024.
