Trump's hand makeup has returned after questions about president's health over swollen ankle sightings [View all]

Donald Trump was seen Friday in Washington D.C., with makeup applied to his hand again after recent questions about the 79-year-old president’s health.

A large patch of what appeared to be foundation, in a lighter shade than his skin, was clearly visible during President Trump’s visit to an exhibit at the People’s House museum.

Later in the day, during a World Cup event in the Oval Office, Trump kept his left hand folded over his right as he made remarks, but the makeup was again visible when he stood up.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt did not address the makeup but referenced Trump’s frequent hand-shaking in a statement Saturday. “President Trump is a man of the people, and he meets more Americans and shakes their hands on a daily basis than any other President in history. His commitment is unwavering, and he proves that every single day,” Leavitt told The Independent.
