The white house illustrates bruises on Trump's hand as a result of frequent hand shakes

Washington (tnnd) – A bruise that was seen on the back of one of President Donald Trump's hands triggered rumors at the beginning of this week, but the White House offered an explanation for the apparent black and blue brand.

“President Trump is a man of the people and he hits more Americans and shakes their hands every day than any other president in history,” said Karoline Leavitt, press spokeswoman for the White House in a statement on Fox News.

“His commitment is steadfast and he proves that every day,” she added.

The bruise was discovered in a picture that was recorded on Monday during Trump's meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron in the White House. It seemed that make -up was used to cover up the flaw on Trump's hand.

Soon afterwards, rumors were whirling, and Trump's critics speculated that he was injured or previously received medical care. Leavitt quickly concluded the claims.

The 78-year-old president has now experienced a busy first month in office.

The correspondent of the National Journal White House, George E. Condon Jr.

Condon found that the questions started less than an hour after his swearing -in on January 20 to Wednesday evening.

“It only took three days to cover up the 141 questions that the former President Biden accepted in his first month; Trump asked up 164 questions until the end of his third day. On this day, he also passed the well -known number of 161 questions in the first month of former President Obama in 2009, although he has a star because it did not exist for most interviews he granted,” wrote Condon.

“Trump only needed one further day to overcome the questions he had taken up in his first month 2017 – until the end of his fourth day in 200,200 questions compared to 199 for the entire first month of his first term,” added Condon.
