Social media reacts with skepticism

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 later

Some defend Trump’s bruising as normal

While many remained skeptical, others suggested the bruise was not a cause for concern.

Someone else said: He probably hit his hand, you morons! Are we really worried about a bruise? Everyone gets them.

White House explanation fails to convince the public

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt responded to the growing speculation. She claimed the bruise was due to Trump’s frequent handshaking.

“President Trump is a man of the people. He meets more Americans and shakes hands daily more than any other president in history,” Leavitt stated.

She later reiterated, “President Trump has bruises on his hand because he’s constantly working and shaking hands all day every day.”

Despite the explanation, many people online were not convinced. Some even accused the White House of hiding the truth.

In December, Trump stated he would release his full medical report. However, this recent speculation has reignited calls for its immediate release.

Many believe transparency is needed to address public concerns about his health. For now, the White House insists the bruise is nothing more than the result of frequent handshaking.
