Trump Uses Concealer to Hide Bruised Hand Before Xi Meeting

thedailybeast.com —

President Donald Trump, 80, used mismatched concealer to hide a chronically bruised hand before welcoming Chinese President Xi Jinping, 73, to the White House on Thursday for a state visit. Trump's right hand was visibly caked in makeup during the arrival ceremony, following his decision to wear black gloves at Joint Base Andrews the prior evening. The two leaders are set to discuss artificial intelligence, trade, and geopolitics, including Iran and Taiwan. The visit marks Xi's first to Washington in over a decade, and Trump's health has drawn scrutiny due to his bruised hands, swollen ankles, and public wincing. Trump praised Xi as "strong, vibrant, and fit," while Xi stated the two countries "should be partners rather than rivals."
