It appears to be an IV bruise and it happens a lot to Trump. There are a lot of pics with bandages and bruises. You would think our press would be inquiring about his health. https://t.co/UOHBUq6Qo3 pic.twitter.com/RZK1JeKiU5

Here’s what The Daily Mail reported:

Social media users have expressed concern about President Donald Trump’s health after spotting a large bruise on his right hand.

Photos of the bruise emerged after Trump, 78, met with French President Emmanuel Macron at the White House on Monday to discuss a possible end to Russia’s war against Ukraine.

Trump and Macron, 47, awkwardly shook hands three times during their meeting in DC, with the pair even gripping onto each other for a prolonged 12 seconds as they were reunited. The duo, whose uncomfortable ‘death clasp’ handshakes have gone viral over the years, later shared two further awkward physical encounters.

But social media users are now scrutinizing footage of the handshakes, suggesting that a bruise on Trump’s hand may indicate the president is battling a health condition.

Several allege the mark looks like an ‘IV bruise’ and have questioned if Trump was recently ‘dehydrated and given fluids’ or struggling with a ‘vitamin deficiency’.

Some claimed that bruising ‘happens a lot to Trump’, citing how he can been seen with ‘bandages and bruises’ in both recent photographs and images from several years ago.

Is Trump hiding a medical condition? Is this why he wouldn’t release his medical records? https://t.co/cporbWKm0X pic.twitter.com/u1T84XiihN
