Trump's new bruise excuse raises fresh questions

A new bruise on President Donald Trump’s left hand has raised fresh questions about his health.

Trump, 79, has frequently been spotted with a bruise on his right hand during his second term, which the White House has attributed to the president shaking people’s hands. However, cameras captured a bruise on his other hand Thursday while in Davos, Switzerland, that the White House says was caused by a minor mishap.
