US EditionWhite House Attributes Trump’s Heavy Left-Hand Bruising to Him Hitting It at Board of Peace Signing
- At the Davos Board of Peace signing, President Donald Trump showed a fresh, large bruise on his left hand captured by Getty photographer Chip Somodevilla and AFP photographer Fabrice Coffrini, shared by Aaron Rupar on January 22, 2026.
- Trump and his physician Sean Barbabella say he takes around 325mg of aspirin daily and Trump blamed the higher dose for frequent bruising, citing blood-thinning effects; Karoline Leavitt, White House press secretary, said the bruise came from hitting the corner of a signing table.
- Photographs show a clear, black bruise on Trump’s left hand that appeared darker than minor bruising around Christmas, while he previously used makeup to conceal large bruises on his right hand.
- Images circulating on social media have prompted renewed public and media scrutiny about President Trump's health as the administration has not released full medical test results, despite White House physician Barbabella's memo finding him in excellent health earlier this year.
- At 79, Trump is the oldest inaugurated president with chronic venous insufficiency, and medical experts said his bruising is likely benign in older people.
