Outgoing US President, Joe Biden was photographed at the White House with a strange bruise on the back of his hand raising health concerns.
Joe Biden, 82, hosted a celebration in the State Dining Room at the White House on Thursday, commemorating the record number of federal judges appointed during his term.
However astute observers saw that the president had a grotesque-looking mark on his left hand.
The dark purple coin-sized spot resembled a bruise that had been partially covered with makeup.
Conspiracy theories about the bruise have been circulating online including the idea that he recently received intravenous medication.
According to one theory, the easiest veins to locate are those in the back of the hand.
With 235 of his judicial nominees confirmed the president was celebrating.
A few perceptive viewers immediately noticed a small change in his face which sparked conversations on X about his general health and whether or not he had fallen and broken his lip prior to the speech.
