Trump Seen With Bruised Right Hand Again—Here’s Everything We Know About The Condition

  • Photographs show makeup used to conceal bruises on President Donald Trump's right hand last week and Friday, with a smaller weekend bruise on his left hand; similar bruising has appeared since last year.
  • White House officials have insisted Captain Sean Barbabella, White House doctor, found President Donald Trump `in excellent cognitive and physical health` in April, despite speculation fueled by recent images.
  • The images add context given CVI's prevalence, affecting approximately 150,000 new patients per year; President Donald Trump is 79 with swollen ankles photographed earlier this month linked to chronic venous insufficiency .
