Donald Trump fans spot worrying detail in latest picture of president as questions are raised
People have been commenting on a concerning photograph of the president
Donald Trump fans have spotted a rather concerning detail in a recent photograph of the president.
On Monday (24 February), Trump met with Emmanuel Macron on the third anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
The pair shook hands several times during their meeting, which lead a number of Trump fans to notice something concerning about the president's hand.
Many people have commented on the 'bruise' which appears to be located on the back of Trump's hand, and the alleged make-up that's been used to cover it.

One person wrote on X: "Scrolling Getty and couldn't help but notice this photo of a huge bruise on Trump's hand today."
While another said: "Some photos over the last few months show bruising on Trump's hand... Always seems to be on the same hand."
And a third added: "Trump has a massive bruise on the back of his right hand. How did he get that?"
While a fourth asked: "Why does Trump have a big bruise on the right hand?"
Over on Getty Images, a photograph of the bruise is described as being 'covered in make-up'.
"Makeup covers a bruise on the back of U.S. President Donald Trump's hand as he hosts French President Emmanuel Macron for meetings at the White House," the description reads.
It's not clear what the bruise is related to, but it has been spotted on Trump's hand before and in previous images of the president.
Tyla has reached out to The White House for comment.
During Trump's meeting with Macron, the French president was forced to fact-check the 78-year-old Republican leader as he tried to claim that Ukraine had taken advantage of US support during its defence against Russia, with Trump claiming it was now time for the States to be paid back during a press conference in Washington.
In an interview, Macron told reporters: "This war cost all of us a lot of money, and this is the responsibility of Russia because the aggressor is Russia."
Trump then interjected, stating with total confidence that EU aid to Ukraine was all in the form of loans: "Just so you understand, Europe is loaning the money to Ukraine. They get their money back."
It was at this point that Macron interrupted Trump by placing his hand on his wrist as he said: "No. To be frank, we paid 60 percent of the total effort. Like the US, loans, guarantees, grants, and we provided real money."
He added: "If at the end of the negotiation, they are ready to give it to us, super, it will loan at the end of the day, and we will have paid for that."
"If you believe that, it's OK with me," Trump then sheepishly replied, before maintaining his initial claim: "But they get their money back and we don't."
