Eagle-eyed fans believe the US President is wearing make-up to conceal bruising on his hand

New photos of Donald Trump have resurfaced health fears after he welcomed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to his Florida home on Sunday.

Hawk-eyed internet sleuths believe the US President appeared to have covered his bruised right hand with a thick layer of makeup.

The 79-year-old was photographed outside Mar-a-Lago with what look like heavy concealer on his hand as the two leaders prepared to discuss a 20-point framework aimed at ending the war in Ukraine.

Mr Trump told reporters the meeting would be "good for Ukraine, good for everybody."

Strange.  I don't remember, until he was proven to be mentally incompetent, the media caring one iota about Biden's health based on a picture. **nononono*

We've been seeing this "make-up covering hand bruises" story for the past six months.

Good thing Trump doesn't have harry palms.  The press would freak out.
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

(A) at 79 years old, it should be no surprise that Trump regularly gets bruises on his hands - and most likely elsewhere - from the sorts of regular bumps we all get during the day that don’t bruise a younger person, for the simple reason that this is what happens as one gets older and ones skin gets older, and has no bearing on one’s mental fitness, and

(B) given Trumps vanity, it wouldn’t surprise me in the least that he would try to cover up those bruises.

When my FIL was 79, he was still very active - and he was with it mentally until he was 89 - and he got bruises like that all the time from the yardwork and auto repair he did.

All I have to do is bump something.

Yup.  Same thing happens with my mother and her husband (who are in their 80s); same thing happened with my MIL. 

They’re really reaching for any excuse.

I'm 77 and always wear long sleeves when I go out because of it.

Yes and it's getting old.

Good grief.  Even a kid who runs around gets bruises when they bump into things as they warp speed through their day.

Trump is no spring chicken, and the older your skin is the more prone you are to bruising -- perhaps he's on blood thinners.

Trump is mentally cognizant -- when he gets to be like Brandon we can begin to worry. 

The leftists need to concentrate on trying to correct the errors of their ways -- that ought to keep them busy for several years.

The video of him falling off of his bicycle comes to mind and needing to be pointed in the right direction as he exits the stage.

During one of Trump's campaign rallies there were people in front of him so he jumped off of the steps on the bleachers, landed on both feet just fine.  His daughters came over to take a look at the height that he jumped and just shrugged their shoulders.

As has been said by others...I bruise easily since I've aged. It hasn't affected my mind. So I don't see what the big deal is.

Biden's mental and physical deterioration was ignored. He was fit as a fiddle according to the MSM. But if Trump so much as passes wind...he's at death's door. :shrug:
