A new photo of President Donald Trump and Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s bruised hands has gone viral and prompted people to wonder what in the world is going on at the White House.

On Tuesday, Trump hosted an event announcing that TrumpRx—a website designed to help Americans find discounted prescription medications—would expand access to lower-cost generic drugs.


But it wasn't the possibility of discounted medications that attracted attention as much as a photograph by Getty Images photographer Kent Nishimura showing some dark bruises on the respective hands of Trump and Kennedy.

Progressive journalist Aaron Rupar shared the image online, noting that "Trump's hand is looking nastier than ever today."

Several months ago, Trump attracted attention after a close-up shot taken during his State of the Union address of his right hand covered in makeup that failed to obscure the discoloration grossed out social media users.

Whatever the underlying cause of Trump's health concerns, his left hand now seems to be acting up too, and it's unsettling observers as much as the issues with his right.

In January, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was called out after she gave a dubious excuse for what happened to Trump after he was spotted at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, with a large bruise on his left hand.

The bruise made headlines after it was captured in pictures taken by photographers Chip Somodevilla and Fabrice Coffrini at the charter signing for the newly-formed "Board of Peace." Leavitt told reporters that Trump "hit his hand on the corner of the signing table, causing it to bruise.”

And this is at least the second time this month that Trump's hands have attracted attention: A couple of weeks ago, Trump had people talking after both of his hands were shown covered in heavy makeup during an event to honor military mothers.

People are understandably wondering what's going on now that Kennedy has a similar nasty bruise to match the ones Trump has been trying—and failing—to hide.


While we don't know what's up with Trump—and the White House can't be trusted to be transparent about the reality of Trump's condition—we can't help but wonder if Kennedy's brain worm might be working overtime or something.

Hunter Biden Asks Blunt Question About Trump's Unpresidential Behavior—And We're Nodding Hard

Hunter Biden had a question for the White House press corps over their in-the-moment reactions—or lack thereof—to the insults and slurs flung by MAGA Republican President Donald Trump at journalists, mostly women and especially Black women.

Biden appeared on The Jim Acosta Show alongside former CNN White House correspondent Acosta and contributing editor for Mediaite and former White House correspondent for AOL and The Daily Banter Tommy Christopher. The trio discussed the double standards surrounding Trump in both how he behaves and how the press approaches him and covers his words and actions.

Trump Ridiculed After Claiming He's Been President 'Three Times'—And Who Wants To Tell Him?

President Donald Trump had people rolling their eyes after he said in response to a reporter at the NATO summit that he'd been president "three times" and won "three elections."

Trump has been president twice and lost the 2020 general election to then-candidate Joe Biden. Since then, he has continued to push the baseless lie that the election was "stolen" from him. Trump's supporters eventually attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, in a failed bid to overturn the election results.

GOP Senator Dragged Over 'Blatantly Racist' Anti-China Campaign Ad Where She Smashes Fortune Cookies

Tennessee Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn was called out after releasing a campaign ad about cracking down on China by dramatically crumbling fortune cookies, a move that prompted critics to point out that fortune cookies aren't a Chinese invention at all.

In the ad, Blackburn appears seated in what resembles a stereotypical Chinese restaurant, surrounded by takeout boxes and hanging lanterns. Looking directly into the camera, she asks, "How hard am I gonna crack down on China? Well, here's a clue," before crushing several fortune cookies in her hands and letting the crumbs fall onto the table as a narrator begins to speak.
