This marks yet another occasion bruises have appeared on the 79-year-old since securing his second term towards the end of last year. Last week, he appeared with a bruised hand in a golf clip, while a separate photo at a different gathering seemed to reveal heavy makeup covering another hand.

"The most likely explanation is that this could well be bruising from a recent cannula from the way it appears, and of course, as Donald Trump is nearly 80 years old, his skin is naturally thinner and weaker, which happens as we age, and therefore we bruise much more easily.

"The White House representatives have suggested Donald's bruise is from constantly shaking hands with people; however, I would be concerned if this was indeed the case, as it could indicate the use of blood-thinning drugs or skin fragility."
Dr Jeff is not the first medical expert to comment on Trump's recent bruising. After they were noticed in April, Dr Gareth Nye from the University of Salford suggested that he might be receiving IV therapy.
Speaking to the Daily Star, he said: "Bruising is much more common as you age due to the thinning of skin and weakening of blood vessels. As we age, even minor bumps can result in bruising, and there's often very little underlying to suggest a health concern.
"This is more likely if a person is on blood-thinning medication or has been exposed to excessive sunlight. It could also be a completely benign condition called actinic purpura, which is also caused by excessive sun exposure.
"It does resemble the type of bruising left by IV drip insertion, although there's no evidence of IV usage or need."

This comes months after Trump's White House physician described him as being in "excellent cognitive and physical health".
After his first annual physical in April, his doctor Sean Barbabella stated: "President Trump remains in excellent health, exhibiting robust cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and general physical function.
"President Trump exhibits excellent cognitive and physical health and is fully fit to execute the duties of the Commander-in-Chief and Head of State."
