Donald Trump: Hand Discoloration Sparks New Health Rumors at G7 Summit

Donald Trump left the G7 Summit in Canada early, amid rising tensions between Israel and Iran. The official reason for his departure was geopolitical, as he clarified during the event. However, what remains unclear is the cause of the discolorations on his hands, which have once again fueled health-related rumors. Images from the summit showed noticeable discolorations on one of his hands, with some suggesting makeup had been used to cover a dark spot. A social media user remarked, “What’s happening with Trump’s hands?” while another commented, “Good Lord. That’s serious swelling on his right hand. Look at the difference compared to his left.” Speculation about the cause of these discolorations isn’t new. Earlier this year, a White House official told MailOnline that they were simply bruises from the hundreds of handshakes Trump gives during campaigns and official duties. However, others speculate the mark resembles an IV injection site, or suggest that Trump, who became the oldest U.S. president upon inauguration, might be dehydrated or vitamin-deficient. Dr. Jeff Foster noted that similar marks were observed in August and November last year. As Trump approaches 80, his skin naturally becomes more vulnerable, making it prone to bruising. Dr. Ross Perry added that at 78, it’s normal for skin to lose elasticity and thickness, increasing the likelihood of bruising. Additionally, Trump’s love for tanning exacerbates skin conditions, making blood vessels more fragile. If he’s on medication like blood thinners, the risk of bruising increases. In Trump’s case, it’s likely just a simple reaction to an unnoticed bump or strong handshake.
