Trump also pointed to his aspirin regimen, saying the medication makes even minor bumps look worse.
“They say take aspirin if you like your heart, but don’t take aspirin if you don’t want to have a little bruising. I take the big aspirin,” Trump told reporters.
“The doctor said, ‘You don’t have to take that, sir. You’re very healthy.’ I said, ‘I’m not taking any chances.’”
The president said the most recent bruise appeared after he bumped his hand on a table during meetings in Davos, where world leaders, business executives and policy heavyweights gathered for the annual forum.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt later backed up Trump’s account, saying in a statement that the president struck his hand on the corner of a signing table during his Board of Peace announcement.
