By Steve Holland, Andrea Shalal and Bo Erickson ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE, Jan 22 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday blamed a noticeable bruise on his left hand to his high intake of aspirin.

Construction of the developments would take two or three years, Kushner said.

The failed vote comes a week after the White House peeled off GOP support for a similar measure in the Senate.

Donald Trump asked his supporters on Thursday if he should "try for a fourth term" amid the worst approval rating polls of his presidency.

Smith, who led two Trump probes, testified publicly for the first time.

In response, Leavitt said in a statement to several reporters that the president had “hit his hand on the corner of the signing table, causing it to bruise.” A White House official also noted that Trump is more susceptible to hand bruising due to his daily aspirin regimen.
