Trump blames aspirin for bruised hand, says nothing is wrong with his health

US President Donald Trump has attributed visible bruises on his hand to daily aspirin use, even as he firmly rejected suggestions that he has been falling asleep during public appearances. The 79-year-old Republican, the oldest person to assume the US presidency, said his health remains “perfect” and expressed irritation over persistent questions about his well-being.

Trump addressed the issue in an interview with The Wall Street Journal, pushing back against renewed scrutiny sparked by reports of bruising on his hands, at times appearing to be concealed with makeup, and occasional swelling in his ankles.

“Let’s talk about health again for the 25th time,” Trump said during the interview. “My health is perfect.”
