Some viewers focused on Trump’s right hand, noting that the portrait appears to have been taken earlier in December, around the time the couple hosted the Kennedy Center Honors. At that event, Trump was seen wearing a bandage on the back of his hand while dressed in the same outfit shown in the Christmas photo.

In the newly released portrait, the bandage is no longer visible, leading some social media users to speculate that it may have been edited out. Several commenters questioned whether the image had been altered, while others dismissed the claims as harmless holiday chatter.

The White House has not commented on the speculation surrounding the photo.
