Trump Masks Bruised Hand After Hospital Visit at Cabinet Meeting

At a cabinet meeting, President Donald Trump, who will turn 80 next month, appeared with a badly discolored bruise on his right hand and used makeup to conceal it while gesturing; the bruise has persisted for months and followed his visit to Walter Reed Medical Center for a routine checkup. White House aides have attributed the marks to aspirin use and frequent handshakes, even as scrutiny of his physical and cognitive health intensifies ahead of the 2026 cycle. Trump has publicly boasted about cognitive tests, arguing he remains mentally fit, while polling shows growing public concern about his health and fitness to lead.
