Previously, Donald Trump has sparked concerns after a noticeable bruise was seen on his right hand. The 78-year-old met with French President Emmanuel Macron.
However, Eagle-eyed viewers quickly spotted the dark mark on his hand during the event.
The meeting took place on Monday, February 24. Soon after, social media users began speculating about Trump’s health.
While, many questioned whether the bruise indicated a medical issue.
Social media discussion about Trump’s health
A bruise on Trump’s hand left many concerned about his health, as he is the 47th U.S. president and faces the challenges of U.S. politics.
On social media, some even suggested that Trump is aging and requires regular physician visits.
One person said: I’d be more worried about that foundation line around his face
A second wrote: His skin is dying. I think he’s a alien.
While a third commented: Since he is getting older, she might take him to the doctor.
Someone else said: It’s called getting old, especially if you just slightly knock your hand then this happens.
Another added: OMG! Remember when this happened to the queen….. how did that turn out ? She passed about 4-6 weeks late.
The president’s annual physical took place on April 11, adding to the timing of the growing public worries.
However, his medical report has since been made available, putting rumors to rest.

Additionally, Trump’s physical exam revealed robust cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and general physical function.
According to Barbabella, the president’s active lifestyle greatly contributes to his well-being and health.
“President Trump’s days involve multiple meetings, public appearances, press engagements, and frequent victories in golf,” Barbabella wrote in the report.
Trump has lost weight and passed cognitive testing, according to the medical report
The medical report also revealed that Trump has lost 20 pounds since his last physical examination in 2020. This weight loss is seen as a positive change, contributing to his overall health.
As part of the examination, Trump underwent cognitive testing. The 78-year-old proudly stated that he “got every answer right,” showing confidence in his mental faculties.
“I don’t know what to tell you other than I got every answer right,” Trump commented to reporters aboard Air Force One, as reported by MSNBC.
The president undergoes a thorough physical exam at Walter Reed Military Medical Center
The physical exam reportedly lasted five hours and took place at the prestigious Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. Trump expressed that he felt in “very good shape” and described his heart and soul as “very good.”
Despite being the oldest president to serve in office, Trump’s physician has stated that he is fit and ready to continue his duties.
