Trump Shows Bruise on His Hand During Work in the Oval Office

  • Trump appeared with a bruise on his hand during a press conference
  • The White House explains this as part of his frequent handshakes
  • The president has a diagnosis of chronic venous insufficiency

President Donald Trump once again appeared with a bruise on the back part of his right hand during the signing of executive orders in the Oval Office on August 25, 2025. This incident occurred a few days after he was attempting to show his permanent bruise, using a makeup.

At the press conference, Trump tried to cover the bruise with his left hand, but journalists noticed it. The bruise on the president's hand was first observed back in August of last year, as reported by NBC News.

The White House asserts that the bruise is the result of frequent handshakes and the use of aspirin, which Trump takes for prophylaxis of cardiovascular conditions. The president's physician, Sean Barbabel, stated that this is a common occurrence, characteristic for people over 70 years old.

Trump also has a diagnosis of "chronic venous insufficiency," which leads to swelling in the lower extremities. However, according to the physician's words, this is not related to the bruise on his hand.

Despite the official statements about the president's health, there are lingering doubts in society regarding his condition, especially since Trump does not always publicly disclose his health.

Critics point out that past incidents, when Trump downplayed the seriousness of his conditions, raise doubts about his current state.
