Trump's Hand Bruise Sparks Whispers - His Response

Donald Trump addressed a visible bruise on his left hand, which sparked questions during his appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos.

Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump attributed the mark to simply hitting it on a table, combined with increased aspirin consumption. "I clipped it on the table. So I put a little, what do they call it? Cream on it. But I clipped it. I would say take aspirin if you like your heart, but…", he said.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that the president hit his hand on the corner of the table during the ceremony. Four doctors estimated that aspirin may have contributed to the intensity of the bruise, as the drug can increase the tendency for bleeding and bruising.

In a recent interview with the Wall Street Journal, Trump stated that he takes a higher dose of aspirin than recommended. At 79, Trump is the second oldest president in US history, after Joe Biden.
