<h2>What Did Kai Trump's Photo Reveal About Trump's Health?</h2>

His 18-year-old eldest granddaughter took to Instagram on Wednesday and posted a series of pictures to commemorate the anniversary of her YouTube journey. She wrote: "One year ago, I started my YouTube channel not knowing what to expect...and it is turned into something so special."

However, in one of the images, Kai is seen with Trump and the president had a thick layer of makeup on his hand that would cover the bruise. The image was taken on the day of the results at the watch party hosted by Trump at Mar-a-Lago. This proves that the President had this bruise that he covered with makeup much before he even took over the office. 

This discovery made people believe that the White House is deliberately trying to hide the president's health issues for months, especially under the guise of his semi-annual health check that declared him fit.

<h2>When Was The First Time Trump's Bruise Was Noticed?</h2>

The bruise first came under public's eye soon after Trump was elected and he himself said in a TIME Magazine interview in December 2024, that this has happened due to frequently shaking hands with thousands of people. 

Seconding the same, in 2025, the White House also used the same explanation, where his doctor Dr Sean Barbabella said that these bruises were "minor soft tissue irritation". The doctor also said that his has happened due to frequent handshaking by him and his use of aspirin as part of his normal heart health routine. The side effect of this, with his hand bruising like this was said to be a 'benign and well known" side effect. 

In a memo published by White House, his physician noted: "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". 

The medical report also noted that Trump's swollen ankles were caused by chronic venous insufficiency. This is a condition where veins find it difficult to send blood back to heart. The White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told the media that Trump was still "in exceptional health", while backing the physician's comment on his health. 

Previously, Health And Me reported on an exclusive published on tabloid Radar, on October 16, that claimed that Trump is 'riddled with arthritis', and that he may need a double hip replacement surgery.

The tabloid’s report paints a sensational picture of severe arthritis and an alleged plan for double hip replacement, citing unnamed “sources” and hinting at possible cognitive issues. The story has since been picked up by several aggregator sites, spreading widely despite the absence of verified evidence. However, the publication provided no medical records, surgeon's statements, or official documents to support the claim. 

However, as per the physical examination by the Walter Reed National Medical Center, President had no orthopedic surgery listed in his history.
