Donald Trump: That is behind the stain on his hand

The state of health of US president is often speculated-this is no different with Donald Trump than with his predecessor Joe Biden. After all, Trump is already 79 years old. Most recently, it was a striking spot on his right hand, which noticed when Trump visited the “The People’s House” museum in Washington. The discoloration was also seen at a meeting with FIFA President Gianni Infantino.

There was speculation in the media through a heart disease, also over the puncture areas for infusions that were covered with make-up. Not for the first time: Spots on Trump’s hand were already an issue about half a year ago. At that time, the US President received his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron.

The White House officially gives the all -clear – and immediately provided an explanation for the make -up spots. Trump has “minor hematoma” on his hand, explained his spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt. “Frequently shaking hands and taking aspirin” are the reasons for this. As a precaution, the drug is taking Trump. However, the president continues to enjoy “best health,” emphasized Leavitt.

The White House had announced about four weeks ago that Chronic venous weakness was found at Donald Trump. This shows, among other things, by swelling of the lower legs. However, Trump’s spokeswoman Leavitt attached great importance to the fact that it was “a benign and frequent illness, especially in people over 70 years”. There are no indications of a chronic illness.

But not only Trump’s physical health is a much discussed topic, his state of mind is also always questioned. Most recently, the President spoke several times about the Alaska summit with Russia’s President Vladimir Putin that he would travel “to Russia”-although Alaska belongs to the United States. He also confused names a few times.

Trump’s predecessor Biden also had years of speculation about health problems. Not wrongly, as it turned out, although bids and his environment contested this for a long time. At the end of his term, the Democrat politician regularly seemed physically frail and mentally confused. This was most clear to see Trump at the TV duel-shortly afterwards Biden withdrew his candidacy in favor of Kamala Harris. Journalists later reported that bidges had long been physically and mentally restricted. His environment wanted to hide his true state from the public.
