A bruise that won’t go away? He has been applying makeup for exactly a year, always in the same spot on Donald Trump’s right hand, and by now no one at the White House can pretend not to notice.

New photos captured it again: the swollen skin and the makeup that, according to him, takes just 10 seconds to apply before each event.

An official explanation came from the White House itself in July: chronic venous insufficiency, a common condition at 80 that makes it difficult for blood to return from the legs to the heart.

Trump, for his part, insists that he passes every medical checkup “with flying colors”. His makeup-covered hand never fails to show up at every event. Is he hiding something? 👀
