Trump explains reason for bruise on hand after new pictures spark concern

“Small cuts may take a bit longer than usual to stop bleeding. People sometimes also say their gums bleed more easily when they floss or brush their teeth after starting low-dose aspirin. An electric toothbrush can help in that regard. Likewise, an electric shaver may help you avoid bleeding from razor cuts.”

Trump’s explanation comes after last year Leavitt said the bruising on his hand was from ‘constantly working and shaking hands all day every day’.

After people pointed out the bruising, the president was later spotted with a serious amount of make up on one of his hands in an apparent attempt to hide another bruise he’d developed.
