The American President now has bruising on BOTH of his hands….
Hmmmm?
President Trump on Thursday addressed bruising on his hand seen at an event earlier in the day. saying he “clipped” it on a table and attributing being easily bruised to the side effects of taking aspirin daily for his heart condition.
“I’m very good,” Trump said when a reporter traveling with him on Air Force One if he was OK.
“I clipped it on the table,” he continued, saying that he put cream on it.
“I would say take aspirin if you like your heart, but don’t take aspirin if you don’t want to have a little bruising,” the president said. “I take the big aspirin. And when you take the big aspirin, they tell you, you bruise.”
“The doctors said, ‘You don’t have to take that, sir. You are very healthy.’ I said, ‘I’m not taking any chances,’” he said. “That’s one of the side effects of taking aspirin.”…

That explanation dovetails with other details the public has learned about Trump’s medical situation. After the 79-year-old was spotted with significant swelling in his legs, the White House announced in July that Trump had been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, a common condition among older people that causes blood to pool in the extremities.
George Washington University professor Jonathan Reiner told CNNlast month that he has seen similar bruising in patients who take strong blood-thinner medications, including ones that are more potent than aspirin, a drug Trump is known to be fond of.
Any attempts to gain clarity on the situation have been met by hostility, suggesting it’s a highly sensitive topic among Trump administration officials….
