Trump is dying

To me the 'bruising on the back of one hand, only’ is the clearest indication that Donald is receiving an infusion in that hand, rather than experiencing the body-wide effects of some oral medication.

Also, why can’t they find makeup that actually matches his skin tone??? He cannot be enjoying all this talk about his hand.

Good.

OTOH (heh) it distracts from the Epstein files.

Could be a combo - when I was on Plavix (and low dose aspirin) an IV in the back of my hand, or having blood drawn would give me huge bruises. And I had a nosebleed so bad I had to go to the ER. Didn’t get that before I started taking the Plavix nor after I stopped. In my case, it didn’t cause bleeding out of nowhere - it just caused me to bleed longer/heavier when something caused bleeding. Which would explain why it’s one hand.

It’s a veritable shit sandwich Presidency. You put bruising in one hand and Epstein in the other, see which fills up headlines first.

He had a hand, but it went bad, so he lopped it off at the wrist.

You are awesome. :slightly_smiling_face:

One small hand for Man

One giant hand for Mankind.

No way does Trump have the patience to sit still and let a professional put makeup on him. He does it to himself and is convinced that nobody can notice it.

If you watch him at his media ops lately, he’s made a habit of either hiding his hand under the desk or covering it with his left hand. No doubt he thinks he’s being sly and nobody has caught on.

“Private Handjob, what do you think you are doing to my beloved Corps?!”

“Yeah, that doesn’t look so bad at all…”

I am reminded of:

“To clone any one of you would be a crime against humanity even I am incapable of.”
–Dr. Drakken, Kim Possible (referring to his inept henchmen)

That theory came up only because there was news about that med that popped up online. There are myriad of meds he’s a candidate for.

It would have been the right color, if his hand hadn’t turned all red for some reason…

I’m not saying he actually had blood drawn, just that would plausible enough not to invite more questions.
Having said that, I like the ‘it’s from shaking people’s hands’ excuse since, if there’s at least one thing we all know about Trump, it’s that he has very thin skin.

The back of the hand is frequently used for infusions if veins in the arm are unsuitable for whatever reason. In 2008, I lost so much blood from a gastric bleed, more than one nurse and doctor could not insert a line in my arm for fluids and blood. It all went in through my hand.

Infusions are a type of IV, aren’t they? I think every IV I’ve ever had was in the back of my hand - and every time blood was drawn for testing it was around my elbow. So if someone with a history of not being truthful told me they had a bruise on the back of the hand from having blood drawn, I’d wonder why they were trying to cover up that they had an IV.

You can’t draw blood from the arm if you can’t access an arm vein.

Of course not - but if you were talking about having vials of blood drawn for testing from the back of your hand then I’m not sure why you mentioned infusions.

Because we are talking about bruising on Trump’s hand, which could be from either blood draw or infusion.

I always have blood drawn and infusions done through my hand. My arm veins are hopeless. The good phlebotomists can do it so there is no bruising or else a very small bruise that disappears in a day or two.
