Trump’s latest health report blames ‘frequent handshaking’ for hand bruising

Stay up to date with notifications from The IndependentNotifications can be managed in browser preferences.AllNewsSportCultureLifestyleDonald Trump's latest medical exam, conducted by White House Physician Dr Sean Barbabella, declared him in "excellent health" and "fully fit," despite a 14-pound weight gain, bringing him to 238 pounds. The health assessment notably omitted any mention of a skin rash that appeared on Trump's neck in March, which Barbabella had previously explained as a side effect of a "very common cream" used for "preventive skin treatment." The report addressed Trump's chronic venous insufficiency and aspirin use for cardiovascular issues, with Barbabella recommending a lower aspirin dose and attributing hand bruising to "minor soft tissue irritation related to frequent handshaking." This omission contributes to a pattern of Trump's past reluctance to fully disclose medical information, including refusing to release records during a 2024 campaign, a dictated "healthiest individual ever" letter in 2015, and transparency issues during his 2020 Covid-19 hospitalization. Public concerns persist regarding Trump's cognitive functioning and physical ailments, with a Washington Post/ABC News/Ipsos poll indicating that a majority of Americans do not believe he possesses the mental or physical acuity to serve as president.
