I mean, Trump is old, but he’s not that old. 
Almost 80…
I even looked it up first.
Tap-tap, is this thing ON? 
These discolorations aren’t necessarily caused by having blood drawn. And you don’t usually have blood drawn from the back of your hand.
These “bruises” (to me) indicate that trump is on coumadin or some other blood thinner. I’m old, and I live with old people, and I’ve dated old people, and I’ve seen this on the hands and arms of old people (who take coumadin) A LOT.
Indeed. My dad (age 92) has been on a blood thinner since he had a minor stroke about a decade ago; ever since then, the backs of his hands and his forearms have always had some level of bruising.
Coumadin is essentially rat poison. So they just need to up the dosage.
Because he’s a rat or because it’s poison?
You don’t put bandages on bruises, especially on the elderly.
Twelve of one and a full dozen of the other.
He’s a 250lb rat, so I think you know.
It’s close. Lilly has submitted for approval of Orforglipron, and expects FDA review in early 2026.

You’re talking about what “normal” old people do.
You cover them with a bandage if you want to pretend they’re not there, or pretend they’re not what they are, or get people to stop asking questions about them because you’re clearly the healthiest person in the world and you have lots of doctors whom you have paid who will confirm that. There’s nuttin’ wrong with you and you don’t take any kind of medication that would cause you to leak blood under your skin and anyone who says you do is a treasonous poopiehead and how would you like to spend Christmas in El Salvador??
Absent a bandage, you might try to cover the marks with makeup–oh wait–!
This is trumpy we’re talking about, FFS. 
I thought something similar at first - then I remembered reading that his changing hair color is because he’s too impatient to let the product (dye or Just for Men) sit long enough. I bet he doesn’t have the patience to let a professional do a good job.
As long as we’re tossing theories around, shaking hands a lot and being a germophobe are not mutually exclusive. Might he have overused disinfectants/sanitizers and thus damaged skin on his hand?
I can’t quite buy “he’s on blood thinners” to explain hand bruisiing, seeing as we’ve been assured he’s a perfectly healthy specimen, so much so that doctors express their awe to him with tears in their eyes.
Either he’s immortal or plans to clone him are well underway.
I have atrial fibrillation, which caused me to have a stroke a few years ago. I take blood thinners. Once I remember being unable to wash a green patch off my hand where I’d had an IV. Took me a bit to clue in that it was a bruise.
Novo Nordisk already has an oral GLP-1 on the market, Rybelsus.
Hardly has to be a professional. I could do it in two minutes, and I’ve never worn make up.
Best typo (?) of the month.
I just thought the (ass) part in front was implied.
Right, but if you need something infused into you and your inside-the-elbow veins aren’t good, the needle might very well go into a vein in your hand. And you do get bruising from that.
One theory: Donald has been prescribed an Alzheimer’s medication called Leqembi, the use of which requires regular MRIs:
This is from rawstory, so not exactly verified. But it hasn’t been ruled out, either.
Why doesn’t he have bruising on his left hand? Hubster has bruising like that. Now he does not take anything but one low dose aspirin a day, but his bruising is not limited to only one hand. It’s on both hands at different times and up and down his arms.
Thank you! In a perfect world, it would have a sound effect.
