Stephen Colbert has a hot theory about that bruise on Trump

“Late Show” host Stephen Colbert believes he knows the origin of the mysterious bruise that keeps appearing on President Donald Trump’s hand.

Trump often tries to hide the mark with concealer:

But Colbert discovered a report that tells a different possible story of how it appeared.

“He had hot fries waiting for him at McDonald’s,” Gruters said on the “Chambers, Changes & Conversations” podcast, saying they were delivered to him as soon as he got on the plane.

“Yes, you need your McDonald’s fresh and piping hot,” Colbert said. “And apparently he takes his Filet-O-Fish straight out of the fryer, which is why his hand looks like that.”
