Trump, 80, Shows Off Heavily Bruised Arm While Golfing
Key Points:
- Donald Trump was seen with visible bruises and scrapes on his forearms and Band-Aids on his fingers during a golf outing at his Trump National course in New Jersey.
- The bruising on Trump’s arms is notable as previous concerns about bruises were primarily focused on his hands, which his team attributed to frequent handshaking and aspirin use.
- Trump has been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, a condition that thins his blood and may contribute to the bruising.
- Despite various health concerns including swollen limbs, sleepiness, slurring, and emotional episodes, the White House maintains that Trump is in excellent health and mentally sharp.
- Some medical experts have expressed concerns about potential mental decline, although Trump has publicly claimed to have performed well on cognitive tests as evidence of his intelligence.
