Trump’s health has increasingly come into question following a rambling Iran agreement speech during the G7 Summit in Évian-les-Bains, France, and after video footage on Tuesday showed him appearing disoriented and wandering the stage among world leaders.
“Just a day after a crescent-shaped nick was spotted on the 80-year-old president’s left hand, close-up images showed a red cut on his right thumb,” The Beast reported. “Photos taken during Trump’s meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Evian-les-Bains, France, on Wednesday captured the eyebrow-raising new blotch.”

“The close-up shot captured the growing number of concerning marks on the aging president’s body, as both of Trump’s hands also appeared to be plastered in makeup to cover up his chronic bruising,” according to The Beast.
