According to Statistics IrelandSince returning to office last year, Trump has suffered from similar bruises, often on the backs of his hands. In February, clear traces were visible again. Press secretary Carolyn Leavitt previously explained that “President Trump has bruises on his hands because he is constantly working and shaking hands every day.” On another occasion, the White House said the bruises occurred after he “clamped” his hands on a table at the World Economic Forum.

A “bright beige square of concealer” covered his skin, while his left hand appeared much pale in comparison, the report said.

White House spokesman Davis Ingle responded to the Daily Beast in a statement, saying: “President Trump is the most incisive, approachable, and dynamic president in American history.

President Trump’s commitment is unwavering, and he proves it every day.”
