Trump shows off ‘wrinkled hands’ amid latest health fear
Donald Trump’s Health & Hand Bruises Spark Attention
Donald Trump, now 79, became the oldest U.S. president to be inaugurated earlier this year. Despite his age, his medical team claims he’s in good health. A recent report from White House physician Dr. Sean Barbabella stated that Trump has “excellent cognitive and physical health,” with normal scans and an active lifestyle. He’s on medications for cholesterol, heart health, and a skin condition.
However, Trump has been seen with bruises and wrinkles on his hands over the past year, first noticed during his hush money trial and again at events like his meeting with French President Macron. The White House blames it on excessive handshaking, while Trump himself said it’s from meeting thousands of people.
Still, experts like Dr. Ola Otulana say the marks are likely harmless, caused by minor trauma or aging-related skin changes. He noted that medications like blood thinners could make bruises more visible but saw no serious health concern.
Recently, online speculation about Trump possibly wearing a catheter went viral after a UFC event photo, though many dismissed this claim as baseless.
Despite concerns, Trump’s team maintains he is fully fit to serve as president.
