Donald Trump's 'Bruised' and 'Swollen' Hands Fuel Health Concerns He Poses With King Charles for State Visit: 'He's Decomposing'

Photos of Trump’s left hand renewed speculation about his health as the White House offered no fresh explanation for the bruising.

  • On Monday, a photograph of Donald Trump alongside King Charles triggered health concerns after observers noticed the president's hand appeared "swollen and discolored" during the state visit.
  • White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt previously maintained that Trump's hands frequently show bruising because he is "a man of the people" and "constantly shaking hands."
  • Independent journalist Aaron Rupar noted discoloration on Trump's left hand, while social media users theorized the injury occurred during the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday following a shooting incident.
  • Video recordings zoomed in on the president's right hand, which looked noticeably larger than his left, with what appeared to be makeup concealing the discoloration.
  • Trump previously posted on Truth Social that he completed a "PERFECT PHYSICAL EXAM AND A COMPREHENSIVE COGNITIVE TEST" and that he is not running low on energy.
