Recent photos of Donald Trump have sparked concern yet again surrounding his hands as they appear to be covered by large blotches of makeup.
This isn’t the first time people notice
Concern for the President’s health has been sparked before when people noticed a large bruise on his hands earlier this year.
Now, photos of Trump from August 22 are showing a large blotch of what appears to be makeup on his hands.
It was seen more than once
A photo of Trump’s covered up hands was taken while he was walking around Washington D.C. on Friday.
The foundation was noticeable again when he welcomed FIFA president Gianni Infantino to the White House on the same day while keeping his right hand largely obscured by his left to cover up the mark.
Trump was diagnosed earlier this year
It was announced in July of this year that Donald Trump has chronic venous insufficiency, which is common for his age.
Trump is the oldest man to be elected president in the US.
His leg veins could be struggling with circulation
The condition means the 79-year-old’s leg veins have become damaged to the point that blood isn’t carried back up to the heart as efficiently as it once was, which can cause swelling and bruises, according to Cleveland Clinic.
People commented on the photo
As the recent photo of the President’s covered up hand made the rounds on social media, some people voiced their concern for his health, with many saying it’s likely to cover up ‘hand bruising’, which was seen on him before.

Others joked about the situation
While some expressed concern, others online joked about the unconvincing makeup cover job, saying that they needed to ‘get this man to a Sephora’.
Trump would often mock the age and health of his political rival Joe Biden, 82, but the Republican is actually the oldest person to ever be elected as president in the US.
His administration had claimed it was the handshaking
Earlier this year and only a few months into Trump becoming president, the first photo of his bruised hand sparked concern.
The White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said at the time that the bruise was from ‘frequent handshaking’, Trump was then diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency months later.
