President Donald Trump took a major step toward fulfilling a key campaign promise today, signing an executive order aimed at dismantling the Department of Education. The move marks the beginning of a process that could significantly reshape the federal government’s role in education.
Standing before an energized crowd, Trump expressed his enthusiasm for the long-awaited action. But while the moment was historic, many observers couldn’t help but notice a bruise on his hand, sparking renewed speculation about his health.
This isn’t the first time concerns have been raised. A similar bruise was spotted on his hand back in February during a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron at the White House. At the time, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt dismissed any speculation, attributing it to Trump’s relentless schedule, saying he’s “constantly working and shaking hands all day, every day.”
Despite reassurances, questions about Trump’s health have persisted. Just last week, the 78-year-old appeared to be limping when he took the stage at an event alongside his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump. Since taking office, he has faced speculation over various health concerns, with critics pointing to occasional difficulties in articulation or reading from prepared remarks.
