Trump's Viral Hand Photos Have People Not Buying Karoline Leavitt's White House Explanation

Former President Donald Trump is under new scrutiny following the emergence of photos showcasing a puzzling smear of makeup on his right hand, prompting many observers online to question the authenticity of the images. On August 22, Trump, aged 79, visited The People’s House exhibit near the White House, where photographers zoomed in on his right hand for a series of shots. This isn’t the first instance of Trump attracting attention due to his hand makeup applications. Last month, his assertive press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, dismissed concerns regarding his health, attributing the discoloration to bruises from vigorous handshaking. Leavitt cited an official memo from Trump’s physician, stating that the observations aligned with minor soft tissue irritation. However, these claims are beginning to falter in light of recent close-ups suggesting a poorly blended cosmetic application, igniting persistent speculation. As discussions unfold on social media, observers have noted Trump’s visible ailments, including swollen ankles, raising further health concerns. Polls indicate increased apprehension among Americans regarding Trump’s age and fitness for office, with many now doubting his mental capabilities for an extended term. (Photo: Wikipedia Commons)
