A recent photograph of Donald Trump has sparked concern among his supporters, who noticed an unusual detail that’s raised questions online.
The image, taken during a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron on the third anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, shows the two leaders engaging in a series of handshakes. However, observers were quick to point out something odd about Trump’s right hand.
Specifically, attention has turned to what appears to be a significant bruise on the back of his hand, with some suggesting it may have been partially concealed using makeup.
One user on X commented, “Scrolling through Getty and couldn’t help but notice this photo showing a huge bruise on Trump’s hand today.”
Another added, “Some photos over the past few months show bruising on Trump’s hand… and it’s always the same hand.”
A third person questioned, “Trump has a massive bruise on the back of his right hand. How did he get that?” while others echoed similar concerns.
Another observer simply asked, “Why does Trump have a big bruise on his right hand?”
According to the Getty Images caption, “Makeup covers a bruise on the back of U.S. President Donald Trump’s hand as he hosts French President Emmanuel Macron for meetings at the White House.”
The cause of the apparent bruise remains unknown, though similar marks have reportedly been visible in past photos of the former president.
Macron Pushes Back on Trump’s Ukraine Aid Claims
During their meeting, the conversation shifted to Ukraine, where Macron was compelled to correct some of Trump’s statements regarding financial aid.
Trump asserted that the U.S. had provided extensive support to Ukraine and suggested it might be time for some sort of repayment. Speaking to reporters, he said, “Europe is loaning the money to Ukraine. They get their money back.”
Macron gently placed a hand on Trump’s wrist and clarified: “No. To be frank, we paid 60 percent of the total effort. Like the U.S., it’s loans, guarantees, grants — we provided real money.”
He went on to explain: “If at the end of negotiations they decide to pay it back, that’s great. But essentially, it’s money we have already spent.”
Trump, in response, said with a hint of resignation, “If you believe that, it’s OK with me,” but stood by his position: “But they get their money back, and we don’t.”
