The bruise seen on the back of President Donald Trump’s hand is from him shaking other people’s hands, the White House said. 

Trump was photographed earlier this week with a bruise on his right hand as he met with French President Emmanuel Macron at the White House. 

"President Trump is a man of the people and he meets more Americans and shakes their hands on a daily basis than any other President in history," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told Fox News Digital in a statement.

"His commitment is unwavering and he proves that every single day," she added.

"President Trump has bruises on his hand because he’s constantly working and shaking hands all day every day," Leavitt also told NBC News.

Around Thanksgiving last year, Trump, during an interview with TIME magazine, was asked about the bruising.

"It’s from shaking hands with thousands of people," he said.
