Wild rumours have been swirling online around the severity of Donald Trumpās health issues after he was spotted with fresh bruising on his hand ā having previously been seen dragging his leg and with swollen ankles.
Armchair experts have taken to social media to post theories on what they believe is going on behind the scenes with the the US Presidentās health ā despite the White HouseĀ attempting to clear up the rumours earlier this month.
Officials revealed on August 7 that Trump has been diagnosed with āchronic venous insufficiency,ā with White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt addingĀ TrumpĀ“s hand bruising is āconsistentā with irritation from his āfrequent handshaking and the use of aspirin.ā
But that has not stopped an avalanche of speculation after Trump, 79, was seen on Monday with a sizeable bruise on his hand during his meeting in the Oval Office with South Korean President Lee Jae Myung.Ā
He was similarly bruised on a golf outing on Sunday, as well asĀ last Friday, when many noticed the presidentās hand was covered with a noticeable splotch of makeup that did not match his skin tone.
Theories as to what this meant soon appeared on X with users speculating that he has āskin cancerā with some going further and suggesting he has āonly months left to liveā.
āMy nowhere-near-qualified opinion is that Donald Trump has cancer that hasnāt been diagnosed yet or wasnāt ready to be announced yet,ā one user wrote.
āDonald Trumpās cancer is so accelerated that he canāt hide the sores and bruising. My sources are saying six months or less,ā added another, offering no evidence for their claim.
Speculation continued over Donald Trumpās health Monday after he was spotted with yet another bruise on his hands, this time a dark blue won that was heavily visible
Social media have shared their wild theories on what they believe is going on with Donald Trumpās health
One commenter said: āWeird how the bruise on Trumpās hand is taking longer to heal than the ear that was hit by a bulletā while another suggested āthere is something seriously wrong and the media should be demanding answers.ā
Another wrote: āTrump desperately tried to keep his hand covered at the press conference. There is something seriously wrong and the media should be demanding answers.āĀ
Bruises on the presidentās hands, as well as swollen ankles, have caused concern and curiosity from the public for the entirety of Trumpās second term.
Some suggested the marks signal a deeper health problem, with one social media user writing: āThis bruise has been on his hand for months, combined with severely swollen ankles, indicates a very serious condition.āĀ
He was seen with swollen ankles last month which sparked rumours online that he was suffering with āheart failureā or ādysfunction in blood pressure regulationā.Ā Ā Ā
But Leavitt squashed the theories once more, revealing the presidentĀ was evaluated by the White House medical unit.
She said he underwent a ācomprehensive examinationā which included ādiagnostic vascular studies.āĀ
āBilateral, lower extremity ultrasounds were performed and revealed chronic venous insufficiency,ā Leavitt stated.Ā
She said itās a ācommon conditionā in individuals over the age of 70 and there was āno evidenceā of deep vein thrombosis or arterial disease.Ā
āThe president remains in excellent health,ā Leavitt said overall.Ā Ā
In March, footage went viral of the president dragging his right leg on a golf course.
Speculation swirled once more, asĀ Arun Gray, a UK-based sports scientist and injury rehabilitation specialist, told DailyMail.com that Trump appeared to be exhibiting a āknock kneeā, a condition in which both knees bend inward.
Medical doctors, however, suggested Trumpās leg may have been indicative of a more serious neuromuscular degenerative issue, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or multiple sclerosis.

Arun Gray, a UK-based sports scientist and injury rehabilitation specialist, suspects TrumpĀ has a āknock kneeā, formally known as bilateral knee valgus. Knock knee is a ārelatively commonā, especially among taller individuals and those with āweaker glute musclesā
Social media users were quick to question the Presidentās wellness with many asking āis something wrong with Trumpās legs?ā
And just a day after the leg drama,Ā a poorly photoshopped version of a picture of Trumpās shoe caused an uproar on X, with users poking fun at president.
Some joked that Trump underwent a foot or lower leg amputation, while others suggested he was wearing shoes that are āa few sizes too largeā in a bid to make his āfeet look proportionalā to his body.
Social media users compared his foot to a āclown shoeā or ācrumpled up garbage bagsā, with one branding them his āLouibnotoesā.
Despite the image being obviously photoshopped, X users were having a field day sharing the shoe picture and their insane theories along with it.
āSpotted during Fridayās infamous meeting with Zelensky/bullying session: Trumpās shoe, with lift, is also a few sizes too large,ā one tweeted. āThis is done to make his feet look proportional with his weight/height.ā
One user suggested Trump was wearing a āprostheticā. They wrote: āI believe that Trump has his right foot/lower leg amputated during those two weeks where he disappeared during his campaign.
āLook at this shoe from the Zelensky meeting. That aināt no normal foot.ā
His shoes look like Darth Vader,ā one said, while another jokingly asked: āDid a cartoon car run over his foot?! I mean that thing looks mangled.āĀ
The US President was spotted with swollen ankles last month which sparked fresh health concerns around speculated āheart failureā

Despite all of the rumours circulating online regarding the health of the US leader,Ā Ā
when reached by The Daily Mail for further commentĀ on the recent hand bruising, the White House re-directed us to statements made by President Trumpās doctor, Dr. Sean Barbabella, and former doctor and now Congressman Dr. Ronny Jackson.Ā Ā
āRecent photos of the President have shown minor bruising on the back of his hand,ā Dr. Barbabella explained.Ā
āThis is consistent with minor soft tissue irritation from frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin, which is taken as part of a standard cardiovascular prevention regimen.āĀ
āAs President Trumpās former personal physician, former Physician to the President, and White House physician for 14 years across three administrations, I can tell you unequivocally: President Donald J. Trump is the healthiest president this nation has ever seen,ā added Jackson.Ā
Jackson, who also was the physician to Barack Obama and worked in the White House Medical Unit under George W. Bush.Ā
āI continue to consult with his current physician and medical team at the White House and still spend significant time with the President. He is mentally and physically sharper than ever before,ā he added.Ā
Chronic venous insufficiency occurs when leg vein valves fail, causing blood to pool and pressure to build, often leading to discomfort if untreated, according to the Cleveland Clinic.Ā
While it is common for people of Trumpās age, it commonly affects those who stand or sit for long periods, older adults, people who are overweight, or those with multiple pregnancies.
A sizable bruise on TrumpĀ“s right hand was exposed during his meeting in the Oval Office with South Korean President Lee Jae Myung
He was similarly bruised as he took in a golf outing with former Major League pitcher Roger Clemens on Sunday, whom Trump later vouched for a spot in the Baseball Hall of Fame
The makeup appeared to be covering a circular protrusion of skin in early July, when Karoline Leavitt claimed Trump hadĀ āchronic venous insufficiencyā
The makeup covering those bruises was again visible in multiple press photos throughout Trumpās trip to Scotland weeks after the diagnosis
Trump was spotted with makeup on his handsĀ during his trip to ScotlandĀ last month.Ā
The president has appeared with similar bumps and bruises on his hand almost monthly since taking office in January. His hands appeared to have makeup covering one of these bruises last month as well.
Trump proclaimed he ādid wellā in his April physical exam at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where he underwent extensive testing, including a cognitive assessment.Ā
The exam, conducted by Trumpās new physician Dr Sean Barbabella, lasted nearly five hours.Ā
Trump has a history of optimistic health reports, including a purported perfect score on a cognitive test in 2018.Ā
Still, questions linger about his weight (244 pounds at his last physical) and occasional visible bruises on his hand, which aides have repeatedly attributed to vigorous handshaking.
