Trump health fears as ‘swollen hand’ and ‘bruising’ on show during King Charles arrival | World | News
Charles and Camilla were greeted on the South Lawn by Trump and his wife, Melania, and both couples shook hands and hugged. They then posed for photos before entering the US president’s residence. But viewers quickly noticed that the president’s hand was “swollen and discolored,” raising health concerns once again for the 79-year-old leader.
As the king and Trump spoke, video footage focused on the president’s right hand, which appeared larger than his left. It looked like she had make-up covering the fading on her hands.
In addition to the close-up photos, journalist Aaron Rupar stated in
Some users on X suggested his hand may have been injured as he rushed out of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday after a gunman opened fire.
“He may have been injured when he fell during the meeting (ballroom?) that night,” wrote one X user. Another added: “She looks even worse with make-up on. She needs to let it go.”
The president’s right hand is frequently seen bruised; The White House often attributes this to his high-dose aspirin regimen and frequent handshakes.
“President Trump has bruises on his hands because he works and shakes hands all the time, every day,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said last year.
Last year, Trump insisted that he was in excellent mental and physical health, stating that he had received an “excellent physical exam” as well as a comprehensive cognitive evaluation.
“There will be a day when I’m low on energy, it can happen to anyone, but recently with an EXCELLENT PHYSICAL EXAMINATION AND A COMPREHENSIVE COGNITIVE TEST (“This was successful”), he wrote on Truth Social at the time, “definitely not now! GOD BLESS AMERICA AND MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!”
