Trump shows off ‘wrinkled and bruised hands’ amid health fear

Despite being 79, President Donald Trump is said to be in great shape—at least according to Dr. Sean Barbabella, who performed Trump’s first physical examination, which also included a cognitive assessment, since his return to the White House.

“President Trump exhibits excellent cognitive and physical health and is fully fit to execute the duties of the Commander-in-Chief and Head of State,” Barbabella wrote in his report regarding the test results. “He remains in excellent health, exhibiting robust cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and general physical function.

“His active lifestyle continues to contribute significantly to his well-being.”

Dr. Barbabella also shared that the president had underwent a colonoscopy in 2024 after discovering he had diverticulitis and a benign polyp. Trump was also reported to be taking medications for cholesterol and cardiac protection, in addition to a cream for a “skin condition.”

According to Barbabella, Trump had bilateral cataract surgery at some point.

Despite this, fears over Trump and his health emerged when the public spotted his hands being bruised during several occasions.

These fears were, however, dismissed by the White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt who claimed the bruises were a result of a lot of handshakes.

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

The president himself confirmed this in his interview with Time Magazine.

However, since recent photos of Trump’s hands showed visible bruises and wrinkles yet again, speculations arose.

According to Dr. Ola Otulana, a general practitioner and doctor at the Cassiobury Court rehabilitation facility in Watford, the bruise on the president’s right hand seems “consistent with a superficial contusion.” This means it can be a result of “minor trauma” like bumping into something, or possibly from having blood drawn.

“This could happen from something as commonplace as bumping the hand against a hard surface, repeated pressure like leaning on a cane or gripping something firmly, or even medical procedures like venepuncture or blood draw,” Dr. Otulana said, per Economic Times.

The doctor does not rule out the possibility that Trump’s bruises could be due to medications such as blood thinners, aspirin, and other anti-inflammatory drugs.

These medications could “make bruises appear more easily and linger longer, which could be the case here.” He, however, states that the condition with the president’s hands shouldn’t raise red flags.

Trump’s bruised hands aren’t the only fear the public has regarding his health. Recently, during the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) that he attended, people claimed he was wearing a catheter under his suit.
