Trump Medical Emergency Exposed On Golf Trip

It's getting worse

Donald Trump looked a little worse for wear as he bared his bruised arms during a golf outing.

The 80-year-old president was captured in Bedminster, New Jersey on Saturday, attending the LIV Golf New York tournament at his own Trump National course.

Not one to spend too much time on foot while golfing, Trump was photographed slouching in a golf cart, decked out in his bright white, heavily-branded presidential merch.

With his forearms exposed by a polo shirt, Trump revealed bruises of varying sizes, alongside what looked to be a couple of scrapes.

Trump also sported Band-Aids on a couple of fingers of his right hand, which he rested on his knee while squinting forward at the route ahead.

While Trump is known for suspicious bruising, usually it’s the president’s hands—not arm—which draw attention.

Previously, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt blamed a career of frequent hand-shaking for the bruising on his right hand, which is often slathered in a shiny layer of makeup.

“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,” Leavitt told the Daily Beast late last year.

That explanation fell flat, however, when the bruising spread to his left appendage.

Trump then blamed his large daily dose of aspirin for the blemishes, which thins his blood alongside “chronic venous insufficiency,” which he was diagnosed with last July.
