Donald Trump health fears erupt again over strange spot on hand

www.express.co.uk Donald Trump health fears erupt again over strange spot on hand

The White House disclosed that the president has been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), a condition common in people of his age.

Donald Trump was seen with a noticeable layer of makeup on his right hand on Friday as he left the White House, amid ongoing speculation about his health. The 79-year-old is believed to have used makeup to hide bruising on his hand on several occasions since returning to office, but the application appeared particularly thick during his visit to The People's House museum.

Fears is a funny way to describe it.
- i fear it isn't serious
- I do kinda fear JD Vance being president. It's mostly a "devil you know" kinda fear. There's the off chance that he's just the same same as Trump, but younger and, in the worst case scenario, more competent.
  
  Vance is pretty unpopular even with the Nazi base. Without the Führer, the whole movement will fizzle out.
  
  More competent should be better. It takes a special kind of stupid to betray your country as much as he has.
  He might have a better position on the boat but we're roughly all in the same boat. If he causes a greater depression, that certainly won't be good for him. It'll be a lot worse for us of course, but that doesn't matter here.
  
  Don't let your fears get in the way of your dreams. They are like moles. Only real way to get rid of them is systematically, one by one.
- For most people, its a fear of false hope
- Hopes, health hopes. I hope his health continues this trend.

Do people outside the UK know just how bad The Express is? It's a bottom-tier reactionary tabloid. Don't give them clicks.
- Never heard of it, but thanks for the heads up
- The Express is what the Daily Mail secretly wants to be, were it not hindered by its own middle-class aspirations.
- This story was needed as a filler because it's too early for the annual "worst winter in twenty billion years" headline.
  
  Yeh, we're still in prime Princess Diana season

I wouldn't say 'fears' exactly
- I'm not sure that Trump dying would improve things. We then end up with President Vance, who is a Thiel creation and Yarvin fan. Possibly less corrupt, but definitely more competent and disciplined. Trump's main motivator is ego and impulse, but Vance actually believes in the TechFash goals.
  
  If Vance gets to be President, it'll be two weeks before an intern finds him sobbing in the closet.
  Fascism doesn't survive its leader. The underlings fight for the power vacuum, and none of them end up winning.
  Some people have accused me of being optimistic for saying this, but think about who does win in this situation. It would likely be a form of liberalism that's closer to western Europe in the social safety net aspect, but capitalism would be maintained. I can't deny that it's better than what we've had, but it's not the victory I would have hoped for given the amount of suffering to get there.
  
  Vance doesn't have the charisma to hold the movement together. None of these creeps do; that's why they need Trump.
  It certainly won't go away immediately after he dies, but it will all collapse under its own weight.
- They mean "fears that again it's false alarm"

- Relax, guy!

There's such a simple, logical, reasonable explanation for a bruise like this: he had blood drawn recently and the phlebotomist had to draw from a vein on top of the hand. If TFG had any sense of humor he could joke about it. If he had any sense of relatability he would know that this happens all the time. But instead...he'd rather do this. Because he's fuckin weird.
- What if he thinks that if people think he is about to die there will be fewer attempts?

“Fears”????? What an odd way to spell “Hopes”. Also, Release the Epstein files.
- Completely unrelated, but what are your favorite jumping spiders?
  
  Portia are up there. And there are a couple large Phiddipus species with red butts that my grad school Buds used to keep as pets. They were Mutellid mimics and were very entertaining critters
- Epstein
  that wound is the epstein telling hand, hes trying to shut it up.
  
  That’s one of them. But my colleagues favorite pet was a species that had an opisthosoma with a big red dorsal spot that covered most of the top. They were mutellid mimics and quite impressive and amusing spiders. If you didn’t know their true identity they looked pretty formidable.

- That's looks more like a skin graft than makeup. You would think they could get close to matching the color of the rest of his hand but this administration can't even do that right.
  
  It looks to me like he has a lot of blood pooling in his hands here, so it’s possible that in the morning, at rest with his arm on a table this did reasonably match his skin.
  I say this as someone with a condition that causes blood to pool in my hands, so I know how extreme the color swings can be!
  
  The time I had a skin graft, they took a portion of donor skin from my upper thigh. So, same skin, but different levels of sun exposure.
  For a long time I had this weird rectangle on my leg that looked like a movie theater screen.
  
  To be fair, no makeup department stocks his unique shade of orange. You gotta go to Lowe's and get a custom mix for that.
  
  Perhaps some aide's concealer she had on her in the moment.
  
  It kind of looks like a wound seal. But if he had a wound that big they would graft it.
  
  It's Bondo.

Should be renamed Terminal Weak Artery Trouble in honour of him

I am embroidering a banner that says “Hooray! Trump is fucking dead!!!!!” I have several days of work to go, so please hold on until Tuesday, Donnie.
- No. NOPE, Nononono. Don't listen to this guy. Right fucking now is the best time to die of natural causes, painfully.
  Let's fucking goooOOOOOOOO!
  ;)
  
  Please, no! Right now it just says “Hooray, Trump is fucking …”
- Tuesday does not work for me, can we do overnight express?

lol fears. Hopes more like

Please die you miserable orange baby raping loser

Don't do that. Don't give me hope

I don't fear poor health of POTUS.
- But who will take care of us when papa leaves?
  
  Whoever survives the systemic governmental collapse caused by his death.

He's lived a long time for somebody without a heart.
- That's because he's the EpsTin List Man.
- What does he have instead, some kind of grease trap?

Health fears?
Who fears for his health?
The fears are that he remains healthy enough to continue to do more damage.

The only way health fears and Taco should be in the same sentence is the fear related to health when it comes to conservative policies like: cutting Medicaid, cutting medical research, increased pollution, etc...I don't have any fear at all when it comes to Taco's personal health issues.
- He didn't cut the White House / Presidential medical insurance though.

- Donald Trump health fears erupt yet again over the disappeance of strange spot on hand.

All the McDoubles are leaking grease.

Lmao "fears" isn't quite the right word for this one.
- Yeah, I'd use "teases." As a non-American, this has been like the greatest teaser since 2016 ish. Maybe Americans have been hating him before then.

Release the Trumpstein files.

“Everybody dies”

Hopes and dreams. Now release the epstein files.

HOPE isn't spelled F-E-A-R, you silly goose.

The demise of this monster can’t come soon enough.
- Oh man, it would be a dream to be able to run an entire campaign on just photoshopped images of "POTUS Vance"'s stupid mug.

Fears?
- Yes, I fear that at this pace it'll take a while. :(

What’s left of his brain is desperate for a Nobel peace prize, calling fox and friends to tell them he’s worried he won’t get to heaven. I would guess he feels he’s getting near the end
- ^🤞
- i don't want him dead until he sees the inside of a prison cell. I want him to suffer for all the pain and suffering he's caused to probably billions.

Fear? Not from me. I hope whatever it is kills him. I also hope it hurts the whole time he is dying. If he had his skin sliced and peeled off in strips until he bled to death it would be too good for him.

There's not a god, because he's lived this long. But I pray to god he dies soon, ideally while I'm typing this.
- If only prayer worked.

This dumbass has never heard of gloves, I guess. It's a nice thing to see his body is matching his cognitive decline, though!
By the way, he should release the Epstein Files.

Please let him keel over. Please.

Expire already, god damn.

Finally, some hopecore

lol @ “fears”

I can't believe Vance looks like an improvement. The bar is so low now we'll have to start drilling to find it.

Thanks Putin?

Fears?

Trumpie ain't going to die for another 20 years. Why? The universe fucking hates us.
Look at the other gaint pieces of shit, they all lived into their mid 80s or longer.
Jimmy Saville - Died: October 29, 2011 (age 84 years)
Henry Kissinger - Died: November 29, 2023 (age 100 years)
James C. Dobson - Died: August 21, 2025 (age 89 years)

Die fucker die

🍿

"fears" lol

Oh wow, he's got a new emotional support hat

Is it wrong to pray for, say, untreatable cancer?

On one hand, it would be nice if he died a horrible and painful death. On the other, I would prefer him to do so after failing to win an 2nd American Civil War. if there is an inevitable fight, I want the enemy leadership to be the dumbest and most clumsy jackasses possible. That would save lives for the good guys, and make Reconstruction easier to complete.
- They actually stopped trying to kill Hitler for this reason later in the war
- I cannot say I agree with this at all.
