Photographers focus on visible bruising as the U.S. president addresses global leaders. The White House points to a known medical condition

Trump bruised hand at Davos draws attention during World Economic Forum speech – A visible bruise on Donald Trump’s left hand drew attention during his address at the World Economic Forum in Davos, where he spoke to world leaders and senior officials following the signing ceremony of the Board of Peace. Images from the event quickly circulated, highlighting what appeared to be significant discoloration on the president’s hand.

According to the White House, the Trump bruised hand at Davos is linked to a diagnosed medical condition. Trump suffers from chronic venous insufficiency, a disorder that can cause swelling and bruising in the hands and ankles. The diagnosis was made after the president noticed mild swelling in his hand and underwent medical evaluations, including ultrasounds and a comprehensive examination.

White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said that magnetic resonance imaging showed no evidence of deep vein thrombosis or arterial disease. She emphasized that the condition is being monitored and does not currently pose a serious health risk.

Speculation about Trump’s health had already intensified in recent months, particularly after he was seen with similar bruising during a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron. At the time, the White House attributed the marks to frequent handshakes. Addressing the issue in February of last year, Leavitt said Trump’s schedule and constant public engagement were a contributing factor, underscoring his hands-on approach to diplomacy.

The Trump bruised hand at Davos also revived attention on remarks the president made earlier this year in an interview with The Wall Street Journal. Trump acknowledged that he takes more aspirin than typically recommended, explaining that he believes it helps keep his blood thinner. He said he wanted his blood to flow “nicely and smoothly” to the heart, a comment that added context to ongoing discussions about his cardiovascular health.

While the White House continues to downplay concerns, the Trump bruised hand at Davos has once again placed the president’s physical condition under public scrutiny, particularly during high-profile international appearances.
