The president had yet another strange mark on his hands over Christmas, once again raising concerns that his health is not what he has claimed it to be.

Donald Trump—the oldest person to ever be elected president—was photographed with what appeared to be another bruise on Christmas Eve, this time marring his left hand.

The 79-year-old has repeatedly claimed that he is in pristine condition, brushing off public alarm over his deteriorating body.

    I’m 70, in great health, I exercise regularly and have a healthy diet. Even with all that, when I had surgery recently that required general anesthetic, I came home with a massive hematoma on the back of my hand as a souvenir of a less-than-optimally-placed IV cannula.

      Yes, bruising is a common side effect of IV inversion…which is why it would be weird to do it on the president’s hand if they were concerned about optics. There are plenty of places you can put an IV.
