Photos reveal new bruise on Trump's hand at Davos meeting

New photos taken in Davos, Switzerland, of President Donald Trump show significant bruising on his left hand.

The discoloration, a combination of dark blue and purple, is seen in images shot at a Board of Peace event during the 56th annual World Economic Forum.

"I clipped it on the table,” Trump said on Air Force One when asked about the dark bruising on his hand.

The president also pointed again to his heavy intake of aspirin.

"Take aspirin if you like your heart, but don't take aspirin if you don't want to have a little bruising," Trump said.

A close-up photo of Trump's left hand shows heavy bruising. Another image shows the president sitting in a chair, looking down at his bruised hand.

Earlier in the day, White House officials said the reported injury took place at the Board of Peace signing.

"As the President and his physicians have previously noted, he is susceptible to hand bruising due to his daily aspirin regimen," the White House told USA TODAY. "Pictures from yesterday and this morning clearly show no bruising."

What is wrong with President Trump's hand?

In early January, in an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Trump addressed other mysterious bruises on his hands and said he takes large doses of aspirin daily, which cause him to bruise easily.

The president told the outlet he takes 325 milligrams of aspirin a day ‒ more than his doctor recommends ‒ for "cardiac prevention." A low dose of aspirin is most commonly 81 milligrams, according to the Mayo Clinic.

“They say aspirin is good for thinning out the blood, and I don’t want thick blood pouring through my heart,” Trump previously said. “I want nice, thin blood pouring through my heart. Does that make sense?”
