Bruising Appears On Trump’s Hand Ahead Of Pittsburgh Visit

According to the Mayo Clinic, elderly adults bruise more frequently because their skin thins and becomes less elastic, losing some of its protecting lipid layer.

This makes blood vessels more weak and susceptible to injury from mild hits. Additionally, capillaries deteriorate with age, and some drugs, such as blood thinners or corticosteroids, can exacerbate bruising.

WATCH:

This comes as a new national poll shows that most Democrats are dissatisfied with how their party’s lawmakers are performing in Congress.

According to a Quinnipiac University survey released Wednesday, 53% of Democratic respondents disapproved of congressional Democrats’ job performance, while only 41% expressed approval.

Among all voters surveyed between June 5–8, just 21% approved of how Democrats in Congress are handling their roles, with 70% voicing disapproval.

The 21% approval rating matches the figure from Quinnipiac’s February national poll, tying “an all-time low since Quinnipiac University first asked this question of registered voters in March 2009.”
