President Donald Trump is back in the headlines, and this time, it’s not about rallies or indictments. Instead, his health is a hot topic of conversation after he appeared to look swollen at a recent outing in New Jersey. In addition, he was spotted using makeup to cover up certain areas of his skin.
Over the weekend, Donald Trump made a high-profile appearance at the FIFA Club World Cup finals in New Jersey, sitting alongside First Lady Melania in what should’ve been a straightforward promotional event. But all eyes quickly turned from the soccer field to Trump’s noticeably swollen ankles, something that fans and critics alike couldn’t ignore. The puffiness didn’t go unnoticed and instantly set off alarm bells online, with speculation swirling that the swelling could be a sign of deeper health issues.
Just days later, as Trump spoke to reporters outside the White House, cameras picked up something even more eyebrow-raising. A bruise on the back of his right hand. However, this bruise wasn’t just visible, it was covered in makeup. The 79-year-old appeared to be sporting flesh-toned concealer on the back of his hand.

Meanwhile, this isn’t the first time this same mark has made an appearance. A nearly identical discoloration was caught on camera weeks earlier during a high-stakes moment in the White House War Room, where Trump was flanked by Vice President J.D. Vance and Senator Marco Rubio during a military strike on Iranian nuclear sites. Now, a bruise might not usually raise eyebrows, but when it’s being regularly concealed and keeps coming back, people start to ask questions.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt tried to squash the rumors, blaming the bruise on “repeated handshaking,” calling Trump “a man of the people” who shakes more hands than anyone else. But behind the scenes, insiders aren’t buying it.
One source told Radar Online that the bruising is “clearly visible” in multiple appearances and could point to something more serious, especially given Trump’s age and history of speculation around his cognitive and physical health. “It’s an alarming sign when someone with potential illnesses as varied as dementia and syphilis has the world’s security in the palm of his hands,” the source commented.
It’s no secret that Trump has made health a talking point, especially when comparing himself to Joe Biden during the 2024 presidential race. He’s painted himself as the more energetic, physically fit option. But over the past several months, more and more people have noticed signs that something might be going on behind the scenes.
What’s Going On With Trump’s Health?
Photos from as far back as December show similar bruising on his hands, prompting comparisons to the late Queen Elizabeth II, who exhibited comparable symptoms just before her passing. He’s also been spotted with an unusual lump in his pants at a UFC event, one that some health professionals speculated might be a catheter.
So, what’s really going on with Trump? Is it simply too many handshakes and long days on the campaign trail, or is there something more serious being carefully concealed under makeup and tailored suits?
Whatever the truth is, one thing’s for sure: these cosmetic cover-ups are raising more questions than answers. With Donald Trump now holding the record as the oldest president ever re-elected, the whispers about his health aren’t going away anytime soon.
