Former President Donald Trump was spotted wearing Band-Aids on his right thumb and index finger while visiting his Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia, on Easter Sunday. The back of his right hand also appeared slightly discolored, likely due to the makeup he uses to cover a chronic bruise. This comes amid ongoing speculation about the 79-year-old's health following his recent absence from public view.

Why it matters

Trump's health has been a subject of intense scrutiny, with the public closely monitoring any signs of potential issues. The appearance of Band-Aids on his fingers has fueled further speculation, as the former president has been known to wear bandages in the past, often attributed to golfing or frequent handshaking. This latest incident adds to the ongoing discussion about Trump's well-being and physical condition.

The details

In a photo posted by an influencer, Trump can be seen flashing a wide grin and a thumbs-up while wearing two Band-Aids on his right thumb and index finger. The back of his right hand also appears slightly discolored, likely due to the makeup he uses to cover a chronic bruise on that hand. This is not the first time Trump has been spotted wearing Band-Aids, as he was seen with them on the back of his hand during a Cabinet meeting in December and on multiple fingers during a golf trip to Scotland in July.
