President Donald Trump said Thursday that a large bruise on his left hand came after he bumped it on furniture in Switzerland. The White House had made a similar statement earlier Thursday, saying Trump hit his hand on the signing table during a Board of Peace event in Davos, Switzerland, earlier in the day. “At the Board of Peace event today in Davos, President Trump hit his hand on the corner of the signing table, causing it to bruise,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement. However, the bruising was noticeable roughly 10 minutes later after he was sitting at the table and signing several documents. Trump has long had bruising on his right hand, which CNN has reported predated his return to the White House.
