Concerning markings appear across Trump's body. Now experts reveal what they really are

In a recent Daily Mail article, I commented on the purple blotches and markings visible on Donald Trump’s skin. At age 79, he is the second-oldest president in U.S. history, and skin fragility is an especially relevant concern. With age, the skin naturally loses its protective fat and collagen, making blood vessels more vulnerable to even minor bumps or pressure.

As a result, even something as routine as a blood draw—or brushing against an object—can leave noticeable bruises. These marks are not unusual at his age and are a common feature of vascular fragility in seniors. While visually striking, such bruising is typically not a sign of a serious underlying condition.
