The White House announced Thursday that President Donald Trump’s frequent handshakes are the reason for the bandages on his right hand recently.
Spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt reiterated her previous response when the 79-year-old president was spotted with a bruise on his right hand covered by makeup.
“Regarding the hand bandages, we’ve already provided an explanation,” Leavitt informed reporters.

“Historically, the president is constantly greeting people,” she stated.
“Additionally, he is on a daily aspirin regimen, as noted in past physical exams, which may contribute to the bruising,” she added.
As the oldest U.S. president elected, Trump vigorously defends his health, contrasting it with his predecessor Joe Biden, whom he alleges was too incapacitated to govern effectively by the end of his term.
On Tuesday night, Trump posted a lengthy defense of his health on his Truth Social platform, equating media investigations into his fitness to “sedition, maybe even treason.”
In October, Trump underwent a medical checkup, including an MRI, with his doctor confirming his excellent health.
