Health fears for Trump grow as another 'mark' is spotted on his hand for a third time
Earlier in 2024, when Trump met with French president Emmanuel Macron on the third anniversary of Russia's attack on Ukraine, pictures from their meeting appeared online. Shortly after the media briefing, people started talking about a mark on Trump's right hand, which many compared to a dark bruise.
One individual posted on X: "Looking through Getty and noticed this photo showing a huge bruise on Trump's hand today."
Another person commented: "Various photos from recent months display bruising on Trump's hand... It consistently appears on the same hand."
A third user remarked: "Trump has a large bruise on the back of his right hand. What caused that?"

Some people suggested the president had hidden the mark with makeup products, with a Getty Images photo described as being 'covered in make-up'.
At that time, press secretary Karoline Leavitt stated: "President Trump connects with citizens and shakes hands with more Americans daily than any other president in history. His dedication remains strong, and he shows this every day."
"President Trump has bruises on his hand because he constantly works and shakes hands throughout each day," Leavitt added in a later statement.
Yet after the mark appeared again this week, social media users have shared their worries online. During a meeting with Irish leader Micheál Martin, people spotted that the mark was visible on Trump's hand.
According to skin expert Dr. Anatalia Moore, the mark might be related to Trump's age.
"For many patients in their 70s, especially if they aren't what we call a 'fit 70'; even bumping against a door frame could cause a significant bruise. Our limbs, including hands, tend to get knocked more easily as balance and coordination decline with age," Dr. Moore told the Mirror.
"At first, a bruise looks dark and purple-red, and the larger the blood collection under the skin, the bigger the bruise and deeper its color. The body then clears away the blood and fixes the damage, converting red blood cells into easily movable waste products, which creates the color change in bruising.
"As the bruise heals, a green-yellow color appears. With aging, this healing process slows down, resulting in larger bruises that take more time to heal."
