Trump’s bruises compared to Queen Elizabeth’s days before her death
Donald Trump can’t catch a break when it comes to the ever-present bruises on his hands, with some people comparing his dire condition to that of the late Queen Elizabeth II shortly before she died at the age of 96. RadarOnline.com can reveal.
The White House has attributed the bruises to Trump taking aspirin for cardio health, combined with too much vigorous handshaking. However, at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, he developed a large shiner on his left hand seemingly out of nowhere, sparking renewed concerns about the president’s health.

The next day, during the signing of the Board of Peace document, a large, dark bruise had developed. Trump didn’t show the discoloration when it started, but it was evident by the end of the ceremony.
The president later attributed the bruise to a brief moment of clumsiness.
“I cut it to the table,” Trump told CNN producer Samantha Waldenberg as he headed home from Switzerland aboard Air Force One.
‘I have a little – what do they call it? – applied cream. But I cut it,” he added.
The commander-in-chief reiterated during his flight on Air Force One that he is prone to bruising because of the amount of aspirin he takes.
“I would say take aspirin if you like your heart, but don’t take aspirin if you don’t want bruises,” he noted to reporters on the flight home.
“I take the large aspirin, and when you take the large aspirin, they say you bruise. The doctor said, ‘You don’t need to take that, sir, you’re very healthy.’ I said, ‘I’m not taking any chances,’” the president boasted as he declared his desire to stay healthy.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt reiterated that the hand bruise was the result of a simple workplace accident, saying: “At today’s Board of Peace event in Davos, President Trump hit his hand on the corner of the signing table, causing it to bruise.”
