Donald Trump has been at the centre of fresh health fears after footage appeared to show the 79-year-old desperately trying to hide a bruise on his hand
Donald Trump has ignited fresh concerns over his health after a video surfaced seemingly showing him trying to conceal his hand following a makeup blunder.
The US president was seen in Washington D. C. on Friday with an excessive amount of makeup applied to his right hand. The 79 year old has previously used makeup to hide bruising on his right hand several times during his second term, but Friday’s application seemed particularly heavy and mismatched from his natural skin tone, making the disguise more noticeable than usual.
Later in the day, during a World Cup event in the Oval Office, Trump was caught on camera either keeping the back of his right hand angled away from the lens or covering it with his left hand so it wasn’t in view. This comes as Alex Jones forecasts Trump’s ‘collapse’ due to a crucial health factor.
Observers were quick to accuse the president of seeming to conceal his bruise and botched makeup job, reports the Mirror US.
A snippet of the moment popped up on the Reddit thread “there was an attempt to”, with the post titled “to not be conspicuous while desperately trying to hide the back of his right hand from the camera.”

The post has since garnered over 1,000 comments as viewers rapidly began speculating about the president’s health. “Oh wow he is not looking healthy at all in general in this video. whatever it is, it’s progress is fast,” one commented.
Another commented: “Trying to cover up the IV marks, where he’s being constantly pumped with whatever top secret serum the CIA has to animate corpses.”
A third noted: “Looks like bruises from repeated blood draws. I get them sometimes in mine from the monthly blood draws to monitor my cancer.”
It wasn’t just the apparent bruising and the attempt to conceal it that sparked worry – others observed that the president appeared thinner than normal. “Is he looking skinny? Like not in a going-spinning-twice-a-week kinda way. Sickish rather,” one questioned.
A second agreed: “Yea he has that sick looking weight loss.
“I was thinking the same thing. His face definitely looks thinned out,” a third echoed.
Another wrote: “He’s looked sick as hell to me for a while. The poorly covered IV bruising on his hand, the water retention in his swollen cankles, how gaunt his face is getting, how frail he looks. I think his heart might be failing.”
On Sunday, the president was seen with another mark, this time on his left hand. Whilst visiting the Trump National Golf Club in Virginia with former Major League Baseball player Roger Clemens and his son Kacy, a video shared on Instagram saw social media users rapidly notice the bruise on Trump’s left hand.
Last month, the White House revealed that Trump has been diagnosed with a chronic vein condition. The statement followed after photographs emerged showing Trump with swollen ankles whilst appearing to use cosmetics to mask a bruise on his hand.
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt disclosed that following concerns about swelling in his legs, Trump received a medical examination and was found to have chronic venous insufficiency. White House doctor Captain Sean Barbabella characterised the ailment as “benign and common”.
“Importantly, there was no evidence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or arterial disease,” he stated, whilst confirming that Trump “remains in excellent health”. The physician revealed that examinations also demonstrated “normal cardiac structure and function,” with “No signs of heart failure, renal impairment, or systemic illness were identified.”
Addressing Trump’s bruising, Dr Barbabella explained: “This is consistent with minor soft tissue irritation from frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin, which is taken as part of a standard cardiovascular prevention regimen.”
