Donald Trump appears to have “painted” over his “bruised hand” ahead of his meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday.
The US President was pictured outside his Florida residence as he met Zelensky to discuss a 20-point peace plan to end the war in Ukraine.
Trump has previously been pictured with plasters and what appeared to be heavy makeup to cover his hand, sparking concerns about his health.
Earlier this month on December 11, the White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt attributed a plaster on the back of his hands to the high volume of handshakes, reiterating a response from months prior.
“As for the bandages on the hand, we’ve also given you an explanation for that,” Leavitt told reporters. “The president is literally constantly shaking hands.”
“He’s also on a daily aspirin regimen, which is something his physical examinations has said in the past as well, which can contribute to the bruise that you see.”
The US President has previously hit out at publications that have speculated about his health. He has previously branded The New York Times “seditious, perhaps even treasonous” for publishing an op-ed that suggested his energy had declined.
