Moment Donald Trump exposes 'injuries' on live TV: 'Wounds all over'
A resurfaced clip aired live on RSBN saw US president Donald Trump claim he has "more wounds than any president ever".

Donald Trump left fans worried once again when a resurfaced 2024 clip showed him admitting to having “wounds all over” his body. Aired live on RSBN, the moment occurred when Trump was giving a speech to the Faith and Freedom Coalition in Washington DC last year, rambling in a bizarre rant: “Together, we stood up to the communists, Marxists and fascists to defend religious liberty like no other president has ever done.
“I have the wounds all over my body. If I took this shirt off, you’d see a beautiful, beautiful person, but you’d see wounds all over me. I’ve taken a lot of wounds, I can tell you. More than, I suspect, any president ever,” he said – seemingly referring to metaphorical rather than physical wounds.

Speculation over Trump’s more tangible injuries has been rife over the last few weeks, after the US president was seen sporting plasters and bruises on the back of his hand.
Trump sported skin-coloured bandages on his right hand at a press conference this Wednesday (December 3), but mainly kept his hands underneath his desk.
A letter from his physician Sean Barbabella said bruising on Trump’s hand is from the frequent handshaking the president does, as well as his use of aspirin as part of a “standard cardiovascular prevention regime”.

He has been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, a vein condition which caused swelling in his legs – and occurs when leg veins fail to pump blood to the heart, meaning it instead pools in the lower limbs.
There was reportedly “no evidence of deep vein thrombosis or arterial disease”, said his press secretary Karoline Leavitt.
Last year, he was shot and wounded in his ear after Thomas Crooks fired eight rounds from a rifle, positioned on a nearby roof. Crooks was shot and killed as a result of the incident.
