Donald Trump was gifted a jersey with 47, a nod to his second term.
In the pic, Trump's right hand appeared to be covered with a thick layer of foundation.
This wasn't the first time his hand appeared to be caked in makeup, as Trump was spotted earlier that day at Mar-a-Lago and his hand looked the same.
There has been chatter for months regarding what's going on with Trump's right hand due to a bruise on it. In the wake of the fodder, Trump has appeared to try to hide his hand, either by clasping it with his other hand, putting it beneath a podium when speaking or using makeup to try to cover it up.

Leavitt had previously brushed off concerns anything was wrong with Trump in July when she was asked about his bruise.
"President Trump is a man of the people," she informed reporters. "And he meets more Americans and shakes their hands on a daily basis than any other president in history. His commitment is unwavering, and he proves that every single day."

Donald Trump's right hand has been under scrutiny for months.
Regardless of what's going on with his hand, Trump's NFL game appearance wasn't the first time he's appeared to use makeup to hide it.
Brandi Boulet, a Canadian makeup artist who worked on the 2024 film The Apprentice, previously discussed the makeup allegedly used on Trump's hand.
"How can you be in that position and not have somebody be able to cover a bruise?" she asked. "It looks like somebody just mashed on some foundation."
She noted the makeup artist should use "the color wheel" and needs to find a better match to make it seem more natural.
"Skin is not just one color. There's undertones. You can see blues in there from veins. You can see red from the capillaries. You also have beauty marks. So it’s a matter of layering in a way that matches what you’ve just covered to what the rest of your skin looks like, instead of just doing a circle of one color," they added.
