Donald Trump has been accused of “hiding his bruised hand” during a press conference at the White House on Friday. The US president announced price reductions for prescriptions in a deal with nine drugmakers. In what he called “most-favoured-nation pricing”, Americans will pay the lowest price on the market for medication that treats  conditions including type two diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis.

However, eagle-eyed viewers noticed something strange when he gave the floor to pharmacuetical bosses. While standing at the edge of the room, Mr Trump appeared to be hiding his right hand by placing his left on top of it. This quickly caused speculation online that he might be covering up more bruises after he was previously photographed with marks on his hand.
