During the recent G7 Summit in Kananaskis, Canada, President Donald Trump’s hands drew attention due to visible discoloration and swelling, sparking online speculation about his health. Some photos appeared to show makeup covering bruises, particularly on his right hand.
Social media users questioned the cause, with some suggesting oedema or a bruise from an IV line. A White House official claimed the marks were from shaking hands frequently on the campaign trail. However, medical experts offered alternative explanations.

Dr. Jeff Foster said the repeated bruising could indicate a cannula insertion, common in medical treatments, especially in older individuals. He also noted that Trump’s age—nearly 80—means his skin is thinner and more prone to bruising.
Dr. Ross Perry added that aging, sun exposure, and potential medications like blood thinners or steroids can all make bruising more likely, even from minor bumps or strong handshakes.
While no official medical issue has been confirmed, the ongoing speculation reflects growing public concern about the president’s health.
