Former US President Donald Trump has raised eyebrows after being spotted with noticeable swelling and bruising on his hands, prompting speculation about his health.
Images of Trump at a recent public appearance showed his right hand appearing unusually puffy, with visible discolouration. While the exact cause remains unknown, medical professionals have offered several theories.
Possible Explanations
Dr. Jane Smith, a rheumatologist, suggested: "This could be due to minor trauma, such as a bump or fall, or even an insect bite. However, persistent swelling might indicate an underlying condition like arthritis or circulatory issues."
Other experts have pointed to potential medication side effects or even excessive handshaking during campaign events as possible contributors.
Trump’s History of Health Speculation
This isn’t the first time Trump’s physical condition has drawn attention. During his presidency, questions arose about his weight, diet, and overall fitness. His White House physician once famously declared him "the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency" – a claim met with scepticism by many medical professionals.
The former president, now 77, continues to maintain a rigorous campaign schedule as he seeks re-election in 2024. His team has not commented on the recent hand appearance.
