Overview
- Photos taken Saturday in Florida showed heavy concealer over a dark patch on President Trump's right hand.
- Images from Monday's visit with King Charles at the White House captured discoloration on his left hand as well.
- The White House has repeated past explanations that bruising stems from frequent handshakes, aspirin use, and a 2025 diagnosis of chronic venous insufficiency, and it has issued no new medical update.
- Independent physicians say photos cannot diagnose a cause and note that bruising in older adults can also result from stronger blood thinners or other circulatory issues that require examination.
- Social media posts and news outlets compared the new images to earlier photos, fueling calls for transparency that could pressure the White House to release fresh medical information.
