Trump understands theres no gain without a little pain!
President Donald Trump’s recent hand bruise is a testament to his tireless dedication to engaging with the American people, according to the White House.
Earlier this week, the president was seen with a noticeable bruise on his right hand while greeting French President Emmanuel Macron during a meeting at the White House. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt explained that the bruise resulted from Trump’s habit of shaking hands with countless individuals daily, a practice he has long upheld as part of his commitment to connecting with Americans.
“President Trump is a man of the people,” Leavitt stated in a Fox News Digital interview. “No other president has interacted with as many citizens or shaken as many hands on a daily basis. His dedication to the American people is unmatched, and he proves that through his actions every single day.”
This is not the first time Trump has addressed the cause of his hand bruises. Back in November, during an interview with TIME magazine, the president shared that the bruises come from shaking hands with thousands of people as he continues to travel the country and connect with supporters.
“Shaking hands is part of my commitment to the American people,” Trump remarked. “I do it every day. That’s why you see bruises on my hands.”
For Trump, these bruises are not a sign of weakness, but rather a reflection of his tireless effort to stay connected with the people he serves. His commitment to staying accessible and engaging with everyday Americans has been a hallmark of his presidency, and he shows no signs of slowing down in his relentless pursuit to represent the values and interests of the American people.
