Trump's Bruised Hand: 'I Hit a Table' – and a Story About Aspirin

Donald Trump was seen with a noticeable bruise on his left palm during his appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos. When questioned about it, Trump explained that he injured himself by hitting his hand on a table. He also referenced his regular aspirin intake, stating he takes a higher-than-recommended dose as a preventative measure, despite potential side effects like bruising. White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt corroborated Trump's explanation. The bruise has sparked speculation about possible intravenous drug administrations, as Trump had previously displayed similar marks. The Guardian notes this explanation follows 11 months of covering a similar bruise on his right hand with makeup or concealing it.
