32. It's makeup, not a bandage.

From the linked article: After the president’s physical in April, White House physician, Captain Sean Barbabella, declared him in “excellent cognitive and physical health.”
He added that Trump’s hand bruises could be from the aspirin he takes to prevent cardiovascular disease.

Not that I would ever believe Orange Julius Caesar's doctor for a minute, I recently started suffering major bruising on my hands and arms. My doctor suggested I stop taking fish oil because it acts as a blood thinner, as does aspirin. Since I stopped taking fish oil, my bruising has pretty much stopped and disappeared.
