"As flagged by the Daily Beast, Trump was spotted on Friday with what appears to be a thick patina of light-colored foundation slathered haphazardly onto his right hand. As you can see from the photo below from Getty photographer Chip Somodevilla, the makeup was a totally different color than the president's own ruddy skin tone, and because whoever put it on him didn't blend it at all, it stood out like the first splash of a Jackson Pollock painting."
"For months now, Trump has been seen on-and-off wearing a drag queen-level layer of makeup on his right hand to cover what has sometimes appeared to be a large and gnarly bruise. (White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt insisted back in February, when the discoloration first made headlines, that the president's bruising comes from his love of hand-shaking.) After he was caught sporting that thick layer of coverup this past Friday, Leavitt suggested again that Trump was suffering a minor hand-shaking injury."
Over recent months, intense attention has followed the president's visible swollen ankles and a diagnosis of chronic venous insufficiency that causes blood to pool in the extremities. Observers recently noted a thick, light-colored layer of foundation applied to the president's right hand that contrasted sharply with his ruddy skin and lacked blending. The makeup appears to be used intermittently to conceal a large, dark bruise on the hand. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt has attributed the discoloration to frequent hand‑shaking, repeating that explanation after the most recent sighting. Photographs from Getty photographer Chip Somodevilla captured the mismatched makeup.
