President Donald Trump’s health was called into question Sunday after new photographs revealed additional discoloration on the president’s hands, though the president’s supporters quick to rush to his defense and insist that Trump’s health was unmatched.

Captured by professional photojournalist Andrew Caballero-Reynolds, one of the photos shows Trump with visible discoloration on both hands, whereas previously, Trump had only been seen with prominent discoloration and bruising on his right hand, something the White House said was caused by Trump “shaking hands all day, every day.”

With discoloration now visible on both hands, critics raised renewed questions about the state of Trump’s health, as have "many in Washington," according to a recent report that revealed "Trump's own decay" was a frequent topic of discussion in the U.S. Capitol. As for Trump's followers, however, such as prominent MAGA influencer Paul Szypula, Trump's health couldn't be better.

“President Trump is in better shape than most people half his age,” Szypula wrote in a social media post Sunday on X to his more than 372,000 followers.

“Nothing burger” wrote another, X user “RubyTubee,” a self-described “MAGA conservative” who’s amassed nearly 12,000 followers.

At 79, Trump is the single-oldest sitting U.S. president in history, and critics have noted what appear to be increasingly frequent signs of potential health struggles, including the aforementioned hand bruising, as well as his swollen ankles and increasing instances of rambling during speeches.

Trump’s recent MRI scan has raised further questions as to the state of his health, with a former White House doctor having cast doubt on the White House’s official explanation for the MRI scan.

Nevertheless, Trump’s supporters continued to launch attacks on critics questioning the president’s health.

“This is what passes for political analysis now,” wrote Johnathon Corcoran, an active X user with nearly 5,000 followers who frequently shares MAGA and pro-Trump content.
