Donald Trump became the oldest person in US history to be inaugurated as president earlier this year.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The former real estate mogul turned 79 just a couple of weeks ago, and though some have pointed to his age as a potential problem, Trump himself has staunchly argued that he remains in good shape.<\/p>\n

That said, there are some things that can\u2019t be hidden. Not long ago, one of Trump\u2019s hands appeared to be \u2018wrinkled.\u2019 According to experts, it can be a telling sign.<\/p>\n

Donald<\/a>\u00a0Trump is not getting younger, but he\u2019s doing well physically despite his 79 years, at least according to his people.\u00a0In April, White House physician Dr. Sean Barbabella published a report that claimed Trump is fully fit to be Commander-in-Chief.<\/p>\n

The report documented Trump\u2019s height and weight, as well as scans of his eyes, ears, neck, throat, and heart that showed no abnormalities. Barbabella also shared that the president underwent a colonoscopy in 2024.<\/p>\n

During that doctor\u2019s visit, it was also revealed that Trump had a benign polyp and\u00a0diverticulitis, an inflammation in the pockets of the colon. It was then decided that he would undergo a follow-up colonoscopy in three years.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s medical report also revealed that he was taking medication, including prescriptions for cholesterol, a cardiac prevention medicine, and a cream to use as needed for a \u201cskin condition.\u201d<\/p>\n

Moreover, Barbabella noted that Trump had bilateral cataract surgery at some point, adding that the president is in \u201crobust cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and general physical function,\u201d concluding that he has an \u201cactive lifestyle is helping his well-being.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Trump exhibits excellent cognitive and physical health and is fully fit to execute the duties of the Commander-in-Chief and Health of State,\u201d Barbabella said in April.<\/p>\n

While the medical report states that Trump is fully fit to hold the office of President of the United States, it does not change the fact that he\u00a0is<\/em>\u00a0getting older. Incidentally, the current president has been seen with bruises on his hands at several points in the past year.<\/p>\n

Last spring was the first time the mark on Trump\u2019s dominant hand was noticed, when he appeared in court for his hush money trial against Stormy Daniels. The president has been pictured with bruises on his hand on several occasions since then, such as in February when he met with French President Emmanuel Macron.<\/p>\n

According to the White House, the bruising and wrinkles have nothing to do with Trump\u2019s health.<\/p>\n

In a statement, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt attempted to claim that the bruising is simply the result of a lot of handshaking.<\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Trump is a man of the people and he meets more Americans and shakes their hands on a daily basis than any other president in history,\u201d Ms Leavitt said. \u201cHis commitment is unwavering and he proves that every single day.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a follow-up statement, Leavitt said: \u201cPresident Trump has bruises on his hand because he\u2019s constantly working and shaking hands all day every day.\u201d In his\u00a0Time Magazine<\/a>\u00a0interview for the 2024 Person of the Year issue, Trump himself stated that the bruising came from \u201cshaking hands with thousands of people.\u201d<\/p>\n

While that may be the case, Trump\u2019s \u2018wrinkled hands\u2019 have once again become the center of attention. Before he and his wife,\u00a0Melania<\/a>, attended the Kennedy Center premiere of Les Mis\u00e9rables in mid-June, social media users noticed the bruising once again.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis hand really shows his age,\u201d one person wrote on X, per\u00a0Irish Star<\/a>, while a second added, \u201cI notice the bruising on his hand.\u201d<\/p>\n

So, is it possible that Trump\u2019s bruising is something other than a result of thousands of handshakes? Per\u00a0Economic Times<\/a>, Dr. Ola Otulana, a general practitioner and doctor at the Cassiobury Court rehabilitation facility in Watford, England, stated that the bruise on the president\u2019s right hand seems \u201cconsistent with a superficial contusion. He added that it could have resulted from \u201cminor trauma\u201d like bumping into something, or perhaps even from blood draw.<\/p>\n

Dr Outalana added that \u201cthis could happen from something as commonplace as bumping the hand against a hard surface, repeated pressure like leaning on a cane or gripping something firmly, or even medical procedures like venepuncture or blood draw,\u201d and continued by explaining that because of the \u201cthinning skin\u201d and \u201cmore fragile blood vessels\u201d on older adults make bruising \u201cmore prominent.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDoesn\u2019t raise any immediate red flags\u201d<\/h2>\n

Moreover, the doctor added that drugs such as blood thinners, aspirin, and other anti-inflammatory drugs could \u201cmake bruises appear more easily and linger longer, which could be the case here.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, Dr. Outalana concluded that the bruise on Trump\u2019s hand \u201cdoesn\u2019t raise any immediate red flags.\u201d<\/p>\n

The wrinkles and bruises have not been the only health fear surrounding Donald Trump in recent days. On June 9, an image of the POTUS attending an Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) event went viral online, and several posts on X, Facebook, and TikTok questioned whether the president was wearing a catheter under his suit.<\/p>\n

The picture shows fighter Kayla Harrison, who had just won the UFC women\u2019s bantamweight championship, putting her belt around Trump\u2019s waist.<\/p>\n

One\u00a0post\u00a0stated: \u201cTrump appears to wearing leg braces and possibly a catheter. The weakness on his right side has been pretty evident for a number of years. And the bruising on his right hand might be caused from his receiving infusion therapy of some sort. Common with a Parkinson\u2019s type disease.\u201d<\/p>\n

Is Trump wearing a catheter?<\/h2>\n

Another\u00a0said: \u201cTrump is absolutely wearing a Foley catheter. It\u2019s a tube inserted into the bladder to drain urine into a bag strapped to the leg. That line down his pants? Not a crease. It\u2019s tubing. Every step he takes sounds like the sloshing of a warm Capri Sun.\u201d<\/p>\n

The post went viral. Some defended Trump, stating that it wasn\u2019t a catheter at all.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo it isn\u2019t. That pant leg is close fitting and that perfectly straight line is a crease. Foley catheters are absolutely not standard of care except post procedure. A walkie talkie patient gets self-cath or male pads,\u201d one post read.<\/p>\n
