Trump wearing bandages on both hands

I thought it was odd that Trump wore gloves to meet Xi at the airport, and looking at the photos/video from the white house banquet dinner it does appear he has flesh coloured bandages on both hands. Anyone else hearing this/seeing this?

Thoughts, in no particular order:

  • Old peole skin issues. They happen and Trump is vain as fuck and wants to hide it.
  • flesh eating bacteria from his diaper lady
  • he got injured when his “wife” slapped his hand away
  • he got shot at again and couldn’t remember where his ear was.
  • hiding an injection sight for old people medications.

What I don't get is how earlier makeup coverage on his hand(s) was so badly done. I would think his vanity would do better but it was not even close to his natural skin color. It's closer now -- I wonder if he was doing it himself before and now it's Natalie (or someone else).

That's edema.

It's the same thing that's been causing swelling around his feet and ankles.

It's a sign of heart failure. It means the Big Beautiful Obituary isn't far off.

Oh thank God. I hope this is accurate. Not that his death is going to change much for the better. Is it a terribly painful condition, I hope?

I hope it's painful and that he burns all the way down.

Also likely why he’s being drained once a month now when it used to be every year or every 6 months. Fluid buildup.

Man, the photographer is trying so hard with that upward facing angle to be cool.

But fuck if Trump just doesn't look like a dumpy asshole.

Anybody want to take bets on whether it happens before or after the midterms?

(I'm betting on after -- because then I'll have cause to celebrate no matter which way it turns out.)

Itll not happen any time soon. His parents lived long. They weren't functional but they were breathing and apparently that is all that counts.

They're gonna pump him full of pep and prop him up as needed.

Weekend at Bernie's (Trumps) 2026 edition. They will take all his rallies, extract his audio, process it, and he will only do video addresses where LLM regurgitates his voice on a script written by some "assistant" and it will appear he is still in charge but will be less so than now

He thinks he's a king. When he dies, the throne passes to his first born son. Get ready for President Donald Trump Jr.

I just threw up in my mouth a bit even contemplating such a ridiculous idea.

Wore a full long coat and gloves in one picture with Xi. Gotta hide the diaper, the bracers on his weak legs, and the hands. Gotta look like a tuff guy in front of China lol

Dump looks weak and pathetic. Well, MORE weak than usual. Fucking loser.
