No signs of heart failure, renal impairment or systemic illness were identified,” she said. Leavitt said that Trump has minor bruising on his hand, which is minor soft tissue irritation caused by frequent shaking of hands and a side effect of intake of aspirin.

“Additionally, recent photos of the president have shown minor bruising on the back of his hand. This is consistent with minor soft tissue irritation from frequent hand shaking and the use of aspirin which is taken as part of a standard cardiovascular prevention regimen. This is a well-known and benign side effect of aspirin therapy. And the president remains in excellent health which I think all of you witness on a daily basis here,” she said.
