A new bruise has appeared on President Donald TrumpAs left hand, adding to
the one heAs had on his right hand for months, amid mounting questions
about his health.
The 79-year-old president hit the links with former Major League Baseball player Roger Clemens and his son Kacy at Trump National Golf Club in
Virginia on Saturday. The fresh mark was spotted in a video Kacy posted to Instagram on Sunday, titled oA Day on the Course with The President.o
At one point, as the camera pans to Trump overlooking his course, the back
of his left hand comes into view, showing a dark discoloration nearly identical in placement to the one on his right hand.

Videos and photos can sometimes be mirrored, but here itAs clearly his left hand, since the oTRUMPo logo on the back of TrumpAs hat is correctly
oriented.
When reached for comment, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt did
not deny the existence of a new bruise.
oPresident Trump is a man of the people and he meets more Americans and
shakes their hands on a daily basis than any other President in history.
His commitment is unwavering and he proves that every single day,o Leavitt told the Daily Beast in a statement.

As has become usual, TrumpAs other hand was coated in makeup, presumably to conceal bruising, during SaturdayAs golf outing, which also included the clubAs Director of Golf, John OALeary.
According to a game scorecard shared by Roger, Trump finished fourth out of four.
Leavitt first attributed the discoloration to the president (who is right- handed) oshaking hands all day every dayo back when the bruising was first spotted in February.
Later, TrumpAs physician, Navy Captain Sean Barbabella, expanded on the explanation, saying that the bruising ois consistent with minor soft tissue irritation from frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin, which is taken
as part of a standard cardiovascular prevention regimen.o

President Donald Trump speaks from the Oval Office on Friday, Aug. 22. BarbabellaAs elaboration came the same week the White House announced that Trump had been diagnosed with Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) after undergoing an examination due to having swollen legs. The condition, which
is common in people over the age of 70, occurs when damaged veins slow
blood flow back to the heart.
The commander-in-chiefAs cankles have made frequent appearances since the diagnosis, most visibly at the recent Alaska summit, where his legs looked noticeably larger than Russian President Vladimir PutinAs.

Leavitt has previously said she would olook intoo making a White House physician available to answer questions about the presidentAs health,
though thereAs been no follow-through so far.
Meanwhile, Trumputhe oldest president yet to be inaugurateduhas not
addressed questions about his health himself. Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office on Friday, he attempted to cover up his right hand with some awkward manual gymnastics.
