Donald Trump Health – “What's going on with Donald Trump's hands, legs?” Viral visuals drive the change of health

The graphic of the US President Donald Trump is struggling to get out of his golf car and limp when he goes on stage and showed a great bruise on the background of his hands.

The White House emphasized a clarification in relation to the bruise on the back of Trump's right hand, which was clearly visible when he was hosting French President Emmanuel Macron for meetings in the White House on February 24th.

“President Trump is a man of the people. His commitment is steadfast and he proves that every day. President Trump has bruises at hand because he works constantly every day and shakes his hand all day,” said Karoline Leavitt, press spokeswoman for the White House.

The injured hands of the 78-year-old US president have previously attracted the media's attention. In December 2024, Time Magazine quoted Trump with the words: “It is shaking hands with thousands of people.”

Days after the bruise was discovered, fresh markings on Trump's Palm again triggered the renewed speculation about his health. On Monday afternoon, two new grades were seen in his hand when he spoke in the USA at an event of the White House in the USA of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), the world's largest chip manufacturer.

Another video that has become viral shows Trump, who is fighting to get out of his golf car. The video captures it longer than usual to leave, and then shook his leg to regain stability before walking.

An X user commented: “After months of film material that draws the 80-year-old Trump in his right leg, a new video from yesterday's golf trip shows him when he has difficulty stepping out of his legs with cars that are far from being stable.”

Another video that circulates on social media shows that Trump limps. The video with the caption “What do you notice in this video by Donald Trump and Elon Musk who go to an event in Mar-A-Lago today?” also attracted attention.

A user posted a photo of Trump during his meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The user commented: “What's going on with Trump's right foot? Tiny Fey and oversized shoes or amputation for toes? He is hellish on this right foot. He swings and drags him a lot. Stroke or something else?”

Some speculate that Trump has difficulty maintaining balance and standing straight.

An X -user commented: “Trump was stuffed like a sausage into a kind of weighted vest, bodysuit or support tips to contain his movements and support his balance in walking. It helps him to increase his upper body backwards. It is a very temporary help for a degenerative neurological illness.”

Another user shared a video from Trump, who wore shoes with pads and tried to keep the balance and stand upright. “A photo of Trump with his shoes on pads was posted yesterday. The pads put it together because he cannot stand stable in front of a camera without losing his balance. It is part of his deteriorating dementia freestanding. Here is a clip of him that tries to stand in one place.”

“They now put wedges under their toes to prevent them from the point of view.

In December 2024, Donald Trump explained in an interview with NBC News that he would publish his full medical report. Trump is the oldest president who is sworn in, while Joe Biden currently has the title of the oldest official president.
