The president's hands are back in the spotlight after Christmas appearances, with photos showing bruising on his right hand and a new 'hole' with discoloration on his left hand

President Trump's bruised hands have once again become a talking point following his Christmas appearances, including on Christmas Eve and during his televised meeting with Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday. Images and video footage reveal that not only is Trump's repeatedly bruised hand still being concealed with makeup, but his left hand now appears to show additional markings.

Social media photos show Trump's left hand displaying some discoloration along with what users are describing as a 'hole'.

Multiple prominent social media commentators on X have pointed out the unusual look of Trump's hands over the weekend. Despite efforts by the White House to minimize concerns, the president's hands continue to generate significant discussion. It comes after a lip reader revealed the chilling 3-word promise that Trump whispered into Vladimir Putin's ear.

Fashion commentator and journalist Derek Guy drew attention to the apparent marking on Trump's hand on Sunday, noting, "It seems to be a small hole at the site of discoloration".

He followed up shortly after, writing, "Wish I were a right-wing influencer bc the obvious next move is to say, 'Folks, I talked to a doctor. To see what they had had to say, subscribe to my Patreon/Substack for $20/ month and buy my 'there's a hole in his hand' merch."

Trump's ongoing hand bruising has raised questions ever since he began his second presidency in January.

Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has previously attributed the president's bruising to repetitive hand shaking, stating that the cause was "minor soft tissue irritation from frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin, which is taken as part of a standard cardiovascular prevention regimen."

Journalist Aaron Rupar first shared the most recent images of the hands. The prominent account Angry Staffer also commented on them, writing, "Rut roh, they're switching hands now? New 'preventative routine MRI' coming soon?"

Reporter Oscar Gonzalez responded, "Is Trump going lefty when shaking hands now?

"Also, THIS is a question the press corps should be asking to debunk the whole 'his bruises are from shaking hands all the time' nonsense."

A few users on X suggested that the issue could be due to collapsed veins.

"Collapsed veins ... dad had 'em from too many IVs. Not good," one person wrote.

Trump was previously diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) in the summer, according to a statement from the White House.

Veindoctor.com explains that this condition occurs when the veins in your legs struggle to return blood to your heart, causing blood to leak backward and pool in the legs instead of flowing upward.

The latest development involving Trump's hands seems to have brought his health back into focus, but there hasn't been any official update on what might be causing these new markings.

Back in October, the president had an MRI scan that reportedly came back with "perfect" results, according to Trump.
