  • A Getty photographer captured the discoloration on Kennedy's hand during an event promoting the administration’s new prescription drug website.
  • Donald Trump's hand marks, which have drawn attention since at least summer 2024, have been attributed by his press secretary and personal physician to frequent handshaking and aspirin use.
  • Kennedy has a history of being transparent about his medical conditions, including a past brain worm, mercury poisoning and spasmodic dysphonia.
  • Despite public scrutiny and satirical commentary, Trump's medical team insists he is in “excellent health,” with his next check-up scheduled for May 26.
