Donald Trump's Health Under Scrutiny: Speculation Grows Amid Recent Public Appearances with Bruises on Hands PHOTOs

Social media reactions have varied widely. One user on X remarked, “It would also explain why he has been so absent and hardly seen for much of the campaign trail and afterward. With sources saying he gets fatigued by the treatments, he gives fewer public appearances.” Others chimed in with criticism, asserting, “This man is not fit to do the job. Harris was right; no 80-year-old should be President of the USA; it is a very demanding job.”

Trump’s use of medication has also drawn scrutiny. While there has been no recent information suggesting that he is being prescribed blood thinners, speculation remains. In 2020, during his COVID-19 treatment, he was given various medications, including aspirin, known for its blood-thinning properties. However, current details regarding his medication regimen have not been publicly disclosed.

Dietary habits are another point of discussion. Reports have indicated that both his wife, Melania Trump, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the newly appointed head of the Department of Health and Human Services, have been encouraging him to adopt a healthier diet, moving away from fast food in favor of more nutritious options. This shift in dietary habits aims to bolster his overall well-being.

Though many are casting doubt on Trump’s fitness for office, the official narrative remains that he is in good health. Nevertheless, ongoing speculations and mixed signals from his public appearances continue to draw attention, leaving many to ponder the true state of his health as he approaches another term in office.

So what do YOU think? Scroll down a lil’ taste and give us your reaction.

1. Blood thinners?

[brush]

13. Could be blood thinner. Some medications cause discoloration in the knuckle area. Or he could be...

gasp, shooting dope into his knuckles as some dope fiends do (hahahahahahaha!).

We all know if that fucker was well we'd have seen photos/reports of his behind cheating/improving his lie on some golf course.

My God, this MFer is not gonna make it for much longer. We already know his mental acuity is declining rapidly...note his totally scary, nuts, and some just insane cabinet picks.

Crap! It's gonna be that couch scre...er ah... potato, woman-hating JD Vance, who his coke fiend son Jr. trump recommended.

We are so screwed.

[MadameButterfly]

23. His cabinet picks make sense: they consistently show who he is. But he has been slipping

into dementia and his handlers will have to hide it. I don't think we'll see him give a lot of public speeches in the next four years. I think it unlikely that he will live out his term.

What does that mean for democracy? Well, the cult doesn't necessarily transfer. And I wonder if anyone besides Trump could kill Social Security and get even Republicans in Congress to go along with it.

i wanted to see him survive to sit trial and go to prison. Now I just want him gone.

[brush]

37. His cabinet picks make sense?

Only if you mean he's insane as the picks are. We already knew who he is.

Keep your fingers crossed Rep. Jeffries can use the fact that the rethugs have a very slim majority, to wrankle some leverage to stop whatever he can of what the opposition tries to do.

[MadameButterfly]

53. Yes, that's what I mean

He is picking people who will do what he's said he wants to do.

What he wants to do is insane and disfunctional, but we knew that.

[Brainstormy]

63. that bruising could also be

results of a recent IV. At any rate he looks terrible in that interview to be released today.

[roomtomove]

60. I have the same issue with discoration on my hands and arms

It is the result of stage 4 kidney disease and taking aspirin.

It is caused by a buildup of waste products like urochromes that the failing kidneys can no longer filter out, leading to a noticeable color change on the skin, including the hands and arms; this is commonly referred to as hyperpigmentation in people with advanced kidney disease (ESRD).
The skin is very thin and sensitive and even minor bumps can cause bleeding.

[Hugin]

2. Eh, there's cemeteries full of better people waiting for Needy Amin to pop his cork...

I want him awake and aware as the jackals come calling.

[Blaukraut]

3. Eh. Remember Mitch McConnell's bruised hands?

And his 'moments of silence'? That was years ago. Yet here he is, still pissing us off. I won't believe in Trump's imminent demise until they show him on TV, drawing his last breath. Even then, I'd want to have a reputable physician (Not Jackson) double check for a pulse.

[Meadowoak]

26. or better yet, drive a stake through his heart, just to make sure he's dead.

[NJCher]

52. However

Deer in the headlight moments:
Mitch publicly faltered numerous times after that first stalled speech and had to be led off by aides. This would be completely unacceptable and panic-inducing in a presidential appearance.

Mitch’s father did not have dementia.

Mitch doesn’t have a notoriously lousy diet.

Mitch has a supportive spouse, not one he has to pay to be seen with him.

And finally, I have not had one moment of feeling like trump would actually be president for more than a month, if that. I cannot and will not watch coverage because it is a giant waste of time. Nothing going on now has any relevance to what is actually going to happen.

The feelings about his ill health started up after his trial.

As far as how he looks, he is a walking dead man.

[Strelnikov_]

4. Melanoma urging him to eat better

Yea, right.

[tanyev]

6. "Darlink, you vant triple bacon cheeseburger?"

[Orrex]

10. "It tastes like almonds."

"What? Keep eating."

[Solomon]

31. It's "treeple bacon cheeseburger."

[Aristus]

41. "Treeple Bekkin Chyeesebeyurger."

n/t

[Tanuki]

28. I figure he's probably started taking Wegovy

or one of the other weight loss meds and is too vain to say so, and they're putting out the "healthier diet" story as a ruse to explain why he'll be losing weight.

[BOSSHOG]

5. President JD VANCE?

[NameAlreadyTaken]

7. The plan all along!

[bdamomma]

44. The

Tech Bros Golden Boy JD Vance, and his handler Peter Thiel another South African Apartheid fan like Elon. They want to crash the economy and the dollar and introduce cryptocurrency (a Ponzi scheme perhaps)

[Kid Berwyn]

68. Cough.

A younger, slimmer Hitler.

[Orrex]

8. Maybe he'll just fucking die already

If the boot-lickers are aghast at people weeping insufficiently over that CEO's death, just wait until they see the jubilation following Trump's decades-overdue death by natural causes.

[Crunchy Frog]

32. Then we'll get President Vance.

Not sure that would be an improvement.

[Orrex]

35. One wish at a time!

I've seen Vance as kind of a Cheney-esque nanipulator of his president, though this time around the VP is guided more directly by outside forces. So Trump dying would give us Vance, but we'd have Vance anyway.

[MadameButterfly]

66. Here's hoping the base won't follow Vance blindly and the politicians

won't be as scared of his influence. In which case some Republicans in Congress might grow a spine or at least fear the voters more on things like Social Security.

[Marthe48]

69. Maybe what's wrong with traitor is catching

n/t

[TomSlick]

11. What's the over and under for how long Trump serves before dying or being removed under the 25th Amendment?

I'm saying eighteen months.

[Meadowoak]

27. March

[TomSlick]

42. Wow. That would be quick.

I figure at least a year.

[yorkster]

55. Watch out for them Ides....

[WarGamer]

12. What a stunner... none of the other photos from that day in Texas show the "hand bruising"

Enough to make one think the original claim is bullshit?

https://prnt.sc/2KvRt67mWxjl

[Joinfortmill]

14. Whoa, that's not aspirin. I take aspirin. That's much stronger stuff.

[canetoad]

15. Meh

Probably dished out a couple of backhanders to Junior and Gums.

[ultralite001]

17. Yup...

Looks like he back-handed someone…

[LeftInTX]

16. Blood thinners

[Polybius]

18. "Harris was right; no 80-year-old should be President of the USA; it is a very demanding job."

Harris never said that.

[valleyrogue]

19. This is ridiculous. When you get older, your skin gets thinner. I get bruises all the time on my hands

and arms, and this is since I passed 65 years of age. There is nothing "concerning" about this aspect. Other things, like Trump being batshit crazy, are.

[niyad]

21. Seriously, what I noticed in the other pic apparently from that day was

not bruising, but the way that vein was standing out. I don't know how it is for other people, but if my veins were standing out like that, it would mean my blood pessuure was sky high (since usually they are hard to find).

STROKE!!! STROKE!!! STROKE!!!

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

34. veins get ropy looking with age. the skin above is thinner and the veins show up more.

less of that youthful juicy fat under the skin to hide the veins.

[allegorical oracle]

25. My doctor explained that same fact to me, when I complained about a bruise on my

arm after my car door banged against me. That bruise on his hand is large, though. He could've gotten it playing golf. He doesn't seem to do much else that involves physical movement.

[electric_blue68]

45. I'm 71. Hasn't happened to me yet.

[UTUSN]

20. Knr but, no such luck

[videohead5]

22. If I'm not mistaken

It's been months since we have seen him on any golf course. That makes me really suspicious. He also refused to let the American people see his medical records.

[LisaL]

24. I think secret service adviced him not to play golf after the assassination attempt.

It's hard to protect him on a golf course.

[underpants]

30. That's correct

It’s just too much area to protect.

[NJCher]

56. Heh

He listened to that about as much as he listened to them telling him to book indoor arenas.

[NJCher]

54. This is the big tell right here

Golf and fawning sycophants are all he lives for. Forget the black hands if you don’t want to consider them.

The proof is in the behavior.

[no_hypocrisy]

29. You are discouraged from ingesting food with Vitamin K when you're

on blood thinners, e.g., leafy green vegetables, as they thicken your blood.

I don't think that will be a problem for Trump.

[hatrack]

38. His blood type is 10W30 anyway . . . .

[Mossfern]

67. I've been taking Warfarin for 30 years

I have always told my doctors that I would not give up leafy green vegetables, that they would have to adjust my medicine to my diet, not the other way around.

Warfarin (Coumadin) is not prescribed much any more. The newer blood thinners aren't Vitamin K antagonists, so no dietary restrictions.

[IcyPeas]

33. Yawn

Seriously we've been hearing shit like this for years


Yawn

[PJMcK]

36. Intravenous?

I had to take blood thinners when I received a cardiac stent. Bruises would mysteriously appear on my body! If I bumped into a door jamb, I'd get a bruise. Someone squeezed my hand too hard and my hand was bruised for a week. I took the thinners for a year then United Healthcare, my insurer, cut them off, (I found out when I tried to refill the prescription and the pharmacist told me that the 2-month supply would cost $800!).

Also, I've had intravenous needles inserted in the back of my hand and I ended up with a bruised hand like Trump's in the bottom photo.

There is no doubt that Trump has hidden his health details from the American people. His secrecy has obscured his terrible health but here's what we do know.

Trump is obese. (One look at him and you don't need a BMI.)
Trump eats poorly. (McDonalds and KFC are not health foods.)
Trump doesn't exercise. (He claims it uses up the limited energy humans have. What? From the laziest man alive?)
Trump takes multiple drugs that he refuses to disclose. (The symptoms of his drug abuse are obvious; just consider his constant irritability.)
Trump doesn't get restful sleep and his behavior is reflective of this. (After all, who tweets at 2:00 am then shows up for work at 11:00 am?)
Trump has a disordered brain. (Listen to him talk for two minutes then clearly explain what he meant; it can't be done.)

I could go on but I think the point is made. Something is going on with Trump's health and, as in the past, the truth is being obscured from the public.

[Vinca]

39. My husband mentioned that no one is talking about his obvious dementia anymore. It's probably because he's

being kept under wraps at Mar-a-Grifto. Chemo maybe? Keep hope alive.

[Meowmee]

46. Maragrifto, great 😹

[eppur_se_muova]

40. Just a little souvenir from mud-wrestling with Leon. nt

[republianmushroom]

43. Huh, gives hope that there is a god and prays can be answered.

[Drum]

47. Perhaps he is molting.

[Meowmee]

48. From the little I saw in the past few months and what my brother told me about

It does seem like something is going on other than the usual insanity, etc. I think there was one rally where he was swaying around not speaking for 30 minutes or so. I doubt he’s gonna be gone anytime soon though. Something was clearly wrong with p over 2 years ago, and he’s still here.

The bruise on his hand- it’s hard to say what the cause might be…

[mucholderthandirt]

50. Old people tend to bruise easily, especially if in poor health. Skin gets thinner as we age, more delicate.

My father started bruising like this, eventually he was a continuous bruise up to his elbows. At first he was told it was just anemia. After a couple of years, he was diagnosed with myelofibrosis, a fatal bone marrow cancer. Medium survival rate is six years, Daddy did better, considering he was two years without a diagnosis. He was 88 when he died, and he'd worked about four years with this, was retired a bit over two years.

Trump likely doesn't have this, but could actually be anemic. We know he doesn't eat well, doesn't exercise -- no, riding around in a golf carts is not exercise -- and generally seems to just lay around and be a lard butt. Or it could be something else. At any rate, I don't see a long future for the shitbag, but who knows? He's always had the best medicine money could buy, unlike the rest of us.

[Meowmee]

65. Sorry about your father 🤗

Knowing Trump, he will live till 100. He probably outlive me. As you said, he has the best medical care of anybody in the country partly or similar to all the billionaires, etc.

[mucholderthandirt]

49. It's a set up. Trump was never actually going to be president. Now we get hints his health is really bad.

Shortly after the inauguration, he will resign (forced out), or die. If he resigns, Vance pardons him. If he dies, cue the martyr as Donald Trump tour, he'll still be pardoned, Vance will put the real P25 people in position, and thus falls American democracy. Anyone who thinks this is over in four years is either fooling themselves, or actually fools.

So, there you go. My Bingo card, tin foil hat firmly in place. Take it as you please.

[NJCher]

57. See my post 52

Essentially the same. Here’s my big difference: their idea that they can force feed their 2025 agenda is not going to happen. What is going to happen is a series of events that will rock the system like the UHC murder.

The next major event will either be a climate change or earthquake disaster.

There will be no time or inclination to enact such foolishness because they will have all they can do to keep the ship afloat. The entire next two years will be like walking in a field of land mines.

They will not control the agenda, events will.

[Hugin]

62. This is certainly among my scenarios too...

Given the precedent of COVID-19.

The only counter that the Retrumplicans have to it is simply squashing any mention of these disasters. Which they are already doing. (SEE: Florida)

Ensuring only, that by the time whatever the crisis is that they are not talking about is so dire that there’s mass death and destruction ongoing at a scale the average American is impacted directly. (SEE: Gun violence)

[Hugin]

61. I'll up the ante on your wild eyed and probably true speculation...

By adding the constraint that the High Maintenance Mussolini will only be prammed off to the gravel pit once the Apartheid Bros and their foreign benefactors are convinced they no longer need him to “win” elections with plausibility.

[Aussie105]

51. Embalming fluid!

If Trump dies in the White House, there will be a visit from a mortuary makeup artist, and a truck delivering embalming fluid.

They will prop him up behind the desk and use AI to mobilise his face while he addresses the nation.

In short, we will be the last to know.

Besides, Trump's demise will solve nothing. But look out for a delivery truck delivering a number of sexy looking sofas!

Seriously, bruising easily is a sign of blood vessel walls becoming weak.
Don't exercise, stay out of the weather, wear loose clothes, and watch that blood pressure!
Don't want to pop a brain artery, do we?

[FloridaBlues]

58. Another norm broken not to know the health of this aging man.

It’s like nothing matters when it comes to him.

[PuraVidaDreamin]

59. I'm surprised he didn't try to cover it up with orange bondo makeup

Someone let me know when his lips turn blue.

[rso]

64. Trump health

I’m tired of hearing these speculative musings about his health, he’s been supposedly on death’s doorstep or on the verge of being incapacitated for one reason or another for years, yet nothing happens.

[Marthe48]

70. Maybe the mike fought back
