It did not take much visual acuity this Thursday to realize that Donald Trump, who this Thursday spoke at the Davos Forum being held in Switzerland, had a large bruise on the back of his left hand.
Far from being something anecdotal, this reaches the category of news because, not only did it not coincide with handshake marks, as has been argued, but for months he has been observing that and he himself .
On this occasion, he has removed iron attributing the mark to a blow that occurred with a table during the launch event of the so-called Gaza Peace Board.
It was precisely on the return trip to Washington when a journalist asked him on board Air Force One if he was okay, regarding the bruise.
“I’m very well. I hit a table and put some, what’s it called, cream on me. “I hit myself,” defended the American president.

Trump, 79, took the opportunity to defend his habit of taking aspirin well above recommended doses [disclaimer, por favor, que nadie lo haga sin consultar con su médico].
“I would say take aspirin if you care about your heart, but don’t do it if you don’t want to get a little bruise,” the president said, reducing it to a mere side effect.
A few days ago, an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Trump defended that his health is perfect and that was when he expanded on his love for aspirin, medication that he has been taking for 25 years in high doses.
As he said, he takes 325 milligrams a day, instead of the 81 that could be recommended (and always, insistence is never enough, under the guidance of a health professional).
Trump also admitted that he sometimes covers those bruises (which he is more prone to from taking it) with makeup: “It’s easy to apply, it goes on in 10 seconds.”
