While ranting about Joe Biden in the podcast, the bruise was seen again, this time it looked like makeup was used to cover it. In her article, Miranda Devine wrote that Trump gets bruises from hard handshakes from supporters and gives them back warmly, even though he's a 'reformed germaphobe', as per reports.

Dr. Stuart Fischer, a doctor from New York, said in February that handshakes could cause bruising, especially at Trump's age. Dr. Fischer also said it might be Osteoarthritis, which affects joints and bones, and Trump's old age, 78, is a factor too, as per the report by Daily Mail.

Back in February, the White House said excessive handshaking was the reason behind the hand bruise. Karoline Leavitt, Trump's press secretary, told NBC News that the bruises were a result of 'constantly working and shaking hands all day'.
Trump himself told Time magazine that the bruises come from 'shaking hands with thousands of people' After the bruise photos went viral again, people online questioned Trump's health, and the White House has not commented yet, as stated by the report by Daily Beast.

'Those who spoke bravely are all dead': Donald Trump says he gave Iran 60-day ultimatum; warns 'it will only get worse' as Israel holds lethal US weapons
A major flashpoint in the Middle East erupted into open military confrontation overnight, with Israel launching its most expansive airstrikes on Iran in decades, targeting the country's military command and nuclear infrastructure. In a dramatic twist, US President Donald Trump claimed credit for setting the stage, citing a 60-day ultimatum he says he gave Iran, even as his own officials denied direct American involvement in the operation. 'Today is Day 61': Trump ties himself to Israeli strikes Despite earlier statements by senior Trump administration figures, including secretary of state Marco Rubio , distancing the US from the Israeli attack, Trump took to Truth Social on Friday to suggest the strikes followed a countdown he had initiated. "Two months ago I gave Iran a 60-day ultimatum to 'make a deal,'" Trump wrote. "Today is day 61. I told them what to do, but they just couldn't get there. Now they have, perhaps, a second chance!" In another lengthy post, Trump described warning Iran in "the strongest of words" and claimed Iranian commanders "didn't know what was about to happen. They are all DEAD now, and it will only get worse!" He added, "There has already been great death and destruction, but there is still time to make this slaughter... by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo come to an end. Iran must make a deal, before there is nothing left." Israel's Operation Rising Lion Early Friday, Israeli fighter jets and drones struck key Iranian military and nuclear facilities in what Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu dubbed "Operation Rising Lion." The strikes killed six top nuclear scientists and several senior military commanders. Israeli officials declared the operation a necessary pre-emptive strike to dismantle Iran's weapons capabilities. "This operation will continue for as many days as it takes," Netanyahu said in a video message, warning of further action against the Iranian regime. Iran retaliates Within hours, Iran responded with a heavy barrage of ballistic missiles aimed at Israeli cities including Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Explosions echoed across central Israel into early Saturday as missile defense systems were activated and civilians were urged to take shelter. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it targeted military airbases and weapons production centers that were 'sources of the criminal aggression.' A senior Iranian official told CNN, 'Everyone will feel it,' referencing further possible retaliation and threats to strike regional bases of any nation that aids Israel. Trump walks a fine line While Trump openly praised the Israeli operation—calling it "excellent" in remarks to ABC News—he continued to insist the US played no active military role. "We gave them a chance, and they didn't take it. They got hit—very hard. And there's more to come. A lot more," he told to ABC News. Still, the mixed signals out of Washington have raised eyebrows. Just a day earlier, Trump had called for peaceful diplomatic resolution with Iran.

Iran strikes back 2nd time: Tehran responds to Israel's Operation Rising Lion; fires barrage of missiles
Image credit: AP Iran struck back at Israel with a second wave of missiles on Saturday in retaliation to the latter's Operation Rising Lion that killed over 78 people and left 320 injured, according to Iran's UN ambassador. In a stark warning to Israel, Iranian military shared a video of the strikes saying, "When the last sword strikes, we'll see who remains." Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in a recorded address to the nation, said, "Do not assume that they attacked and it's finished. No, they initiated the actions and began the conflict. We will not permit them to evade consequences for this significant wrongdoing they have perpetrated". Israel's emergency medical services reported that 34 individuals were injured in the missile barrage targeting the Tel Aviv area. How it all started? The conflict was sparked by what has been described as Israel's largest military operation in history against Iran. Israeli warplanes and drones on Thursday night—some allegedly pre-positioned within Iranian territory—carried out a massive, coordinated assault deep inside the country. The attacks targeted critical sites, including components of Iran's nuclear program, ballistic missile facilities, and military command centers. Several high-ranking Iranian military officials and nuclear scientists were reportedly killed in the strike. In retaliation, Iran on Friday night launched a barrage of ballistic missiles at central Tel Aviv. How world leaders reacted? US President Donald Trump urged Iran to 'make a deal' saying, "Two months ago I gave Iran a 60 day ultimatum to 'make a deal.' They should have done it! Today is day 61. I told them what to do, but they just couldn't get there. Now they have, perhaps, a second chance!" Meanwhile, Prime minister Narendra Modi called for restoration of peace in the region saying, "Received a phone call from PM @netanyahu of Israel. He briefed me on the evolving situation. I shared India's concerns and emphasized the need for early restoration of peace and stability in the region." In a pointed response, Iran rejected the call for restraint saying, "If you were silent during two years of Palestinian massacres and last night's attack on Iran, don't call for restraint now. Stay quiet."
