UPDATE: President Donald Trump unveiled his controversial “Board of Peace” at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on January 18, 2024, while displaying visible bruises on his hands that have raised urgent health concerns. The Daily Beast reported that a noticeable bruise on Trump’s right hand and an even darker one on his left were apparent as he held up a founding charter for the new organization.
Trump’s frail hands were mostly obscured by a presidential lectern during a low-energy speech, which marked his second consecutive day at the event. As he approaches being the oldest sitting president in history, Trump has often presented with bruising, typically covered by heavy makeup. The White House attributes these issues to frequent handshakes and the use of aspirin as a blood thinner for treating chronic venous insufficiency.
Additionally, concerns about Trump’s health are escalating after he was seen with swollen ankles, a potential indicator of heart failure. Medical experts suggest that these symptoms, coupled with the extensive testing he has undergone, may point to a serious underlying health issue that the White House is not fully disclosing.
The “Board of Peace,” which aims to involve approximately 20 smaller nations, was initially proposed to manage the reconstruction of Gaza. However, the initiative has faced rejection from major U.S. allies in Europe. Experts express alarm over the extensive powers granted to Trump in the founding documents, suggesting it could position him to create a rival international body to the United Nations.
This development comes at a time when Trump’s health is under scrutiny, creating a complex backdrop as he attempts to establish a new global initiative. As the situation unfolds, it remains crucial to monitor both the implications of his health and the international response to his proposed organization.
Watch for further updates on Trump’s health and the reactions from global leaders as this story develops.
