CNN's Jake Tapper Calls BS On Trump Spox's Bandage Spin: Something About His Health They're Not Telling Us'

"LEAVITT: The President is literally constantly shaking hands. The Oval Office is like Grand Central Terminal. He is meeting with more people than any of you even know about on a daily basis. He's also on a daily aspirin regimen, which is something his physical examinations has said in the past as well, which can contribute to that bruising that we see."

"TAPPER: So, David, first of all, we haven't seen bruising like this on the hands of other presidents who also presumably shake a lot of hands or senators. AXELROD: Really more hand more hands in this President. TAPPER: Yes, well, and yes, I mean, and and not to mention members of the House, members of the Senate. The White House gave the same explanation for bruising back in July. Obviously, he's 79 years old."

Visible bandages and significant bruising on President Donald Trump's hands, along with swollen ankles and a recent MRI, have intensified health concerns. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt attributed the bandages and bruising to frequent handshaking and a daily aspirin regimen that can increase bleeding. CNN anchor Jake Tapper and contributors David Axelrod and Alyssa Farah Griffin expressed skepticism about that explanation and noted the president's age and repeated visible injuries. Critics pointed to a pattern of limited medical transparency and urged clearer disclosure about the president's health status and the reasons for diagnostic imaging.
