Mysterious bruises on Trump’s hand ignite controversy and spark comparisons to Queen Elizabeth days before her death
Photos taken on Thursday showed a dark bruise on Trump’s left hand as he signed a document at the Peace Council, while his hand was free of any bruises the day before during his speech at the forum.
The president himself confirmed that the bruise resulted from a minor accident, saying in statements to CNN during his return to the United States on Air Force One: I hit my hand on the table, put a little cream on it, and now there is a bruise.
Trump pointed out that taking large doses of aspirin to maintain the health of his heart makes his hand vulnerable to bruises even during the slightest collision, adding: If you are taking aspirin to maintain the health of your heart, you must know that you may get some bruises.
White House spokeswoman Carolyn Levitt confirmed that the bruise was the result of a minor accident during the signing at the table, and that the president is in good health.
On the other hand, the circulation of pictures of Trump’s hand bruises brought to mind the case of Queen Elizabeth II, who appeared two days before her death in 2022 with a prominent bruise on her right hand, which sparked comparisons on social media platforms.
Some doctors explained that these spots may appear in the elderly when taking anticoagulants, or after the slightest shock due to the fragility of the capillaries.
The reactions of social media users varied between concern for Trump’s health and sarcasm, while some noted the strange similarity between his condition and that of Queen Elizabeth in the last days of her life, stressing that the elderly become more vulnerable to bruises and bruises.
