President Donald Trump has revealed how he got a bruise on his left hand after he ‘clipped it on the table’ in Davos.
The president said on Air Force One that he received the large purple bruise at the Board of Peace event in Switzerland and was doing ‘very good’.
‘I clipped it on the table, so I put a little – what do they call it – cream on it, but I clipped it,’ Trump told reporters en route to Washington DC on Thursday.
He then appeared to blame the noticeable bruise on aspirin he was taking.
‘I would say take aspirin if you like your heart, don’t take aspirin if you don’t want to have a little bruising,’ Trump advised, noting that he takes the ‘big aspirin’.
And when you take the big aspirin, they tell you, you’ll bruise,’ he continued.
‘The doctor said, “You don’t have to take that, sir, you’re very healthy,”‘ Trump then claimed. ‘I said, “I’m not taking any chances.””But that’s one of the side effects of taking aspirin.’
Trump is apparently unconcerned about his health as he alluded to a potential ‘fourth term’ as president after praising the progress in his second.
In an astonishing climbdown after weeks of escalating threats about taking over Greenland, Trump announced a ‘framework of a future deal’ that would settle the issue of the semi-autonomous territory of Denmark.
News of the deal came as Trump backed off tariff threats against Europe and ruled out taking Greenland by force, following fears of a retaliatory ‘trade bazooka’ from his allies.
