Donald Trump was the oldest US presidential inaugurate in US history.
He is 79, having turned this age a few weeks ago, and considering the age factor, some have cited this as a possible issue, but Trump himself has defended strongly that he is well settled.
Speaking of that, however, there are some things that cannot be concealed. Recently one of the hands of Trump was seen wrinkled. According to experts, it can be an indicative one.
I don t think Donald Trump is getting younger judging by the fact that he is almost 80 years but his people claim that he is fine physically. In April, a report published by the White House physician Dr. Sean Barbabella stated that Trump is medically perfect to remain in the position of Commander-in-Chief.
The report indicated the height and weight of Trump, and the scans of his ears, neck, eyes, throat, and heart that revealed no abnormalities. According to Barbabella, the president had a colonoscopy examination in 2024.
It was also revealed on that doctor visit that Trump had a benign polyp and diverticulitis which was inflammation of the colon pockets. It was determined that he would receive a repeat colonoscopy continued Thaen after three years.
In addition, Trump in his medical report stated that he was on medication and that he was under prescription of cholesterol, a cardiac prevention medicine, and a cream to apply when necessary as a skin condition.
The bruises on Donald Trumps hands
Barbabella, also cited that Trump underwent bilateral cataract surgery at some point in his life, and that the president is in prime cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and all-around physical health, and that: it is an active lifestyle which is aiding his health condition.
In April, Barbabella said that President Trump has great cognitive and physical health and is completely capable of performing the duties of the Commander-in-Chief and Health of the State.
Although the medical report notes that Trump is fit enough to assume the position of the President of the United States, it does not alter the fact that he is aging. By the way, in the last year, the present president was spotted with bruises on his hands on a number of occasions.
The mark on Trump dominant hand was first noticed last spring, when he appeared in court on his hush money trial against Stormy Daniels. The president has since been shown with bruise marks on his hands on numerous occasions including in February when he met French President Emmanuel Macron.
According to the White House, this has nothing to do with the health of Trump, the bruising and wrinkles.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt made a statement, somewhat trying to claim that the bruising is merely a by-product of much shaking hands.
Ms Leavitt said: President Trump is a people person and he talks to Americans and shakes their hands more each day than any other president in history. He is a hardworking man who demonstrates this on a daily basis.
Before Kennedy Center concert, Donald Trump flaunts wrinkled hands
Leavitt later clarified in a follow-up statement to say: “President Trump has some bruises on his hand because he is always working and shaking hands all the time, every single day.” The bruising was due to shaking hands with thousands of people, as Trump said himself on his interview in Time Magazine, on Person of the Year issue, 2024.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, the wrinkled hands of Trump yet again become the main point of attention. Social media users became aware of the bruising again before he and his wife, Melania, went to the Kennedy Center premiere of Les Mis in mid-June.
One person responded to that on X: “His hand gives away his age big-time” and a second said: “I see the bruises in his hand.”
Is it because Trump has actually had thousands of handshakes and that is the cause of the bruising? Dr. Ola Otulana, a general practitioner and doctor, working at the Cassiobury Court rehabilitation facility in Watford, England according to Economic Times said the bruise on the right hand of the president appears to be consistent with a superficial contusion. This could have been due to slight trauma, e.g. bumping into something, or possibly even blood draw, he said.
During the interview, Dr Outalana went ahead to say that it may happen due to things as simple as banging the hand to a hard surface, to repeated pressure such as resting on a cane or body tightening a grip or even during medical procedures such as, venepuncture or blood draw, and in support of this further explained that due to the thinner skin here and more fragile blood vessels, the bruising in older adults becomes more pronounced.
It is not immediately red flag worthy, though.
The doctor also said drugs like blood thinners, aspirin and other anti-inflammatory medicines were known to make bruises occur more easily and persist longer, and this could be happening with this case.
However, Dr. Outalana admitted that the bruise on Trump hand “is not logically arousing some red flag.”
The age spots and the marks have not been the only health anxiety to have touched Donald Trump of late. A picture of POTUS sitting at an Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) event circulated on social media on June 9, and some social media posts on X and Facebook as well as TikTok wondered whether the president was wearing a catheter under his suit.
The image depicts the fighter Kayla Harrison, newly crowned UFC women bantamweight champion, placing her title belt around the waist of Trump.
One of the posts reads as follows: Trump seems to have leg braces and maybe a catheter. The infirmity in his right side has been very noticeable during many years. And the injury on his right hand may be as a result of him undergoing infusion treatment of some kind. Widespread in a Parkinson type illness.”
Is Trump dressed in a catheter?
One of them claimed, again: “Trump is wearing a Foley catheter, hands down. It is a tube that jogs into the bladder and drains the urine into a bag that is attached to the leg. The line in his trousers? Not a fold. It’s tubing. Each of his steps appears to be that of a Capri Sun that was just warm.”
The post became viral. There were those who came to Trump who said that it was not a catheter.
It is not. That is a close fitting pant leg and that straight line is not a road but a crease. Foley catheters are in no way standard except after procedure. One post was, A walkie talkie patient will get a self cath or male pads.
