A recent meeting between former President Donald Trump and French leader Emmanuel Macron sparked unexpected online discussions – not about politics, but about a noticeable spot on Trump’s right hand. Photos from the February 24 event quickly circulated on social media, with users speculating wildly about the mark’s origin.
Putting rumors to rest, Trump’s physicians revealed he had completed his annual physical examination in April at Walter Reed Military Medical Center. The medical team confirmed the mark was simply a minor bruise, a common occurrence they described as completely normal for someone his age. The full examination included both physical and cognitive assessments, all of which returned normal results.
Healthcare professionals emphasize that occasional bruising becomes more frequent with age. “The skin loses some of its protective fatty layer over time, and blood vessels become more susceptible to minor trauma,” explains Dr. Sarah Lin, a family medicine practitioner. “Unless accompanied by other symptoms, these bruises are typically harmless and resolve on their own.”
