While Donald Trump was going about his business on Tuesday, attempting to shut down the “Jeffrey Epstein Hoax” he perpetuated, he inadvertently revived an old conspiracy about himself. A C-SPAN cameraman zoomed in on the president’s hand while he was speaking with reporters before heading to Pittsburg on Tuesday, revealing a weird patch of poorly matched makeup caked on the back of his right hand.

    He’s getting treatment for something. Treatment via an IV, and they can’t find a vein in his arm.

    100% normal for any normal person. Of course he’s a demented sociopathic rapist so he had to make it weird.

    This demented fool paints a circle of orange paint on his face for years and the bulk of the media doesn’t even batt an eyelid, he has a small patch of pink foundation over a bruise and suddenly it’s front page news.

    I’m not saying the bruise and his efforts to conceal it aren’t worth reporting but as far as “weird patch of poorly matched makeup goes” this patch is a lot more normal than the much weirder patch of poorly matched makeup he wears.

      Only because EVERYONE knows he uses makeup and has insanely bad hair. It’s just a meme at this point. This is something new at least.

        I wonder if his handlers are running out of distractions so they are resorting to highlighting potential (further?!) health concerns in the hope people will won’t keep talking about the state sponsored death camps in either the US or Israel.

        The dude is clearly falling apart, how long can they Weekend at Bernie’s him until they have to rely on class traitor, charisma black hole and couch loving JD Vance? At what point will his dementia get so bad that he starts talking about things he shouldn’t?

    Eh, this is literally at the bottom of the list of anything Trump has ever done. Maybe we should focus on the dismantling of democracy instead.

        It’s not uncommon for this kind of symptoms to present after a body has been stripped of it’s soul, such as when it has been sold to the devil.

    My guess is he has a liver spot he’s trying to hide. He’s been using makeup in the same spot for a while now.

    It sure looks like he tried to cover up a bug bite or some other kind of rash to me, but two things:

    1. Who the fuck cares about what T-bag’s hands look like? He’s an unhealthy elderly man.
    2. It’s just another example of how sad, disturbed, and insecure this fool is. When most people get a big bug bite on their hand, they just forget about it until it goes away. Maybe put a bandaid on it if it’s really gross. He’s such a deeply strange man.
