A bruise on President Donald Trump’s hand led to some buzz, but the White House was quick to quash rumors.
While being photographed during his meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron, Trump was seen sporting a sizeable bruise on the back of his hand. This, the White House says, is from shaking hands with so many people.
“President Trump is a man of the people and he meets more Americans and shakes their hands on a daily basis than any other President in history,” Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told Fox News Digital. “His commitment is unwavering and he proves that every single day.”
“President Trump has bruises on his hand because he’s constantly working and shaking hands all day every day,” she also told NBC News.
Trump had previously been questioned after he was seen with bruising in the same area over Thanksgiving last year.
“It’s from shaking hands with thousands of people,” he explained.

His work ethic is unparalleled. We’re lucky to have him working for us.

Respectfully, no one cares about the bruise. We want Epstein Files released, we want arrest made, we want to know who paid to kill Trump. That’s news

Ouch! Well, the only other thing I could thinking is blood thinners. I certainly hope he isn’t on those, but I imagine that would have to be disclosed, no?
