Mysterious mark seems on Biden’s hand throughout White House look

Joe Biden was pictured at the White House with a mysterious bruise on the top of his hand.

The outgoing President, 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.

But eagle-eyed viewers noticed the president was sporting a nasty-looking mark on his left hand.

The coin-sized spot was dark purple in color and looked like a bruise, which had been partially covered by makeup. 

The bruise has sparked a wave of conspiracy theories online, including that he had intravenous medication recently.

‘Veins in the back of the hand are the easiest to find,’ one person theorized.

The President was celebrating confirmation of 235 of his judicial nominees.

‘I know they’ll continue to uphold our nation’s founding principles of liberty, justice, equality — and do it for decades to come,’ Biden said.

‘These judges will be independent, they’ll be fair, and they’ll be impartial and respect the rule of law,’ Biden said. 

‘And most importantly — I never thought I’d be saying this — they’ll uphold the Constitution.’ 

The 82-year-old president’s health has been back in the news since The Wall Street Journal published a story on December 19 on how aides dealt with a ‘diminished’ president throughout his entire term.

The report revealed that aides would have to repeat obvious instructions to Biden – such as where to exit a stage. 

Concern about the bruised hand comes just hours after another appearance sparked fears for the President, after he appeared to sport a mark on his lip.

Biden took to Camp David on Wednesday evening where he addressed the country on the ISIS-inspired attack that slaughtered at least 14 victims in the early hours of New Year’s Day on New Orleans’ famed Bourbon Street.

But some of those watching were quick to spot a slight difference to his face – leading to discussions on X regarding his overall health.

‘Biden looked awful,’ one viewer shared to X. ‘He looked like he may have fallen from his lower lip looking swollen and bruised.’

Another viewer tagged Fox News and agreed, questioning: ‘When President Biden came on and gave an update today, what’s wrong with the left side of his jaw and lip?’

‘Did he have dental work, fall, or did he have a small stroke?’ they added. ‘How about finding out? Something is not right.’

A third viewer chimed in and tagged the White House account, adding: ‘Biden looked like he had fallen and couldn’t get up prior to his address.’

‘Look at his lip…. he also has a scar above his lip on the left side of his face,’ they added. ‘I couldn’t be the only one to notice this!!’
