When I asked Dr. Jonathan Reiner about Trump's chronic hand bruising he said the White House's claim that it was the result of aspirin therapy and hand shaking "is not a plausible explanation. (Particularly if he also has bruises on his left hand).”

Welp, here are visible bruises on his left hand:

1. Gangrene would be beneficial

[Moostache]

26. I do not care what it IS, just that it is FATAL and PAINFUL as hell. (n/t)

[Omnipresent]

30. Hopefully it's fatal.

He’s got Doctors that will jab him in the ass with some of the best shit around for pain. That’s probably why he’s falling asleep all the time.

[RockCreek]

2. Doing a lot of left-handed hand shakes?

Will he try to claim it is a European thing?

[Prairie Gates]

13. The double cheek kiss

Ciao, bella!

[SheltieLover]

3. Too bad US taxpayers can't cut off his healthcare benefits

[Lovie777]

4. What, no make up on the bruise?................

WH plus Republican party will lie forever, even after his demise.

[dalton99a]

5. Leavitt: "Oh, the president spilled some grape juice"

[Diamond_Dog]

32. 😂😂😂

She makes up the most blatant lies. How hasn’t her gold cross exploded yet?

6. Here are some larger pdfs of trump's hand

[Ilsa]

42. His left hand looks a little swollen. Compare it

to the right hand.

[OC375]

7. Michael Jackson-type life extension?

Always figured him for resorting to any and all means to preserve himself, and sort wondered when I see some of the bruising if he's been getting IV's frequently to fight/fix/prolong whatever he's been doing to himself over the years. Honestly, wouldn't shock me to hear he died some morning on the news, due to a "medical error in his health regime" ie: too much upper/downer/hokum for his bad heart or something.

[Happy Hoosier]

9. It's not that complicated...

Some anti-dementia drugs require monthly infusions. It explains both the IV bruises AND the frequent cognitive tests. Dude's brain is rotting.

[Happy Hoosier]

8. Continuous intravenous injections have caused too much damage to his right hand

So on the the left hand until the right hand heals.

I can't understand why people are mystified by this. I've had IVs in that exact same spot when I've been in the hospital.

[Botany]

17. My guess. The veins in his right side are so damaged from the I.V.s he is getting they had to switch to his ....

… left hand.

Surprised that they haven’t put in an I.V. port on his body that can be hidden by his clothes. I read somewhere that the drugs he is getting for his dementia are via an I.V..

However the good news is that he is dying.

[sop]

10. Trump backhands anyone who angers him.

[SonOfNebanaube]

37. I concur.

[Clouds Passing]

11. White hands. Orange face.

[Rebl2]

12. If he

is taking as much aspirin as I read he was, it will definitely causes bruising. When I took aspirin for RA as a child, definitely had bruising.

[jmowreader]

14. Would the bruises be in one specific spot...

…that just happens to be centered over a vein?

[Ocelot II]

36. That doesn't look like the kind of bruising you get from aspirin or blood-thinners.

This is very dark and centered over one spot; looks more like it came from an injury or bleeding in that one spot, as from an injection. Aspirin-related bruising tends to be more diffuse.

[indusurb]

15. This is a man on blood thinners who is getting somesort of regular IV treatment

They just switched the hand that gets the stick. I've seen this in many people. This is a man who is not healthy and they're trying to prop him up through until the midterms.

16. Peanut butter face jelly hands

20. His face looks like it's been painted with Betadine.

[Johnny2X2X]

18. Use some moisturizer dude

His hands look like he washes them with sand paper. Sign of drug use?

[3catwoman3]

19. Even when the bruises were on his right hand, there is no way they were from hand shaking.

When you shake hands with another person, your thumb slides neatly into the webbed space between their thumb and forefinger, known as the thenar web space. You'd have to put your thumb in a really odd position to reach the part of the back of the hand where TSF's bruising is.

Fun fact I found just now - an antiquated name for the thenar web space is the purlicue.

[Ilsa]

43. But his hands are so TINY that normal hands

wrap around Krasnov's. Another person's thumb could do a beatdown on the back of the Felon's hand. ½

But, it's absolutely the IV.

[MustLoveBeagles]

21. If it was anyone else

I'd feel bad for them.

Health saga ratchets as Trump puts bruises on full display in Davos www.rawstory.com/trump-bruises/

When President Donald Trump formally launched his "Board of Peace" organization at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland this week, a new set of dark bruises on his hands became highly conspicuous, The Daily Beast reported on Thursday.

"The slight bruise on Trump’s right hand was visible Thursday when he held up a signed founding charter for the group at the Davos event, as well as an even darker one on his left," reported Ewan Palmer. "But his bruised and frail hands were largely obscured by a presidential lectern as he delivered a low-energy, rambling speech in Davos for the second day in a row."

Trump, who is set to surpass his predecessor Joe Biden as the oldest sitting president in history, has frequently presented with hand bruising, often wearing thick layers of makeup to cover it.....

Trump has also been spotted with swollen ankles, a potential sign of heart failure, which combined with the reported battery of tests he has been under, has led some medical experts to believe the White House is covering up a much more serious health condition.

24. We should be sympathetic

It is abundantly clear that he is the victim of ongoing physical elder abuse!

[11 Bravo]

25. Melania is beginning to hit harder when he tries to hold her hand for the cameras.

[Efilroft Sul]

27. Pigmata for the cult's orange Jesus

[Chasstev365]

28. Come On Grim Reaper!

[Blue Owl]

33. Hey Donny -- the Grim Reaper has a gold trophy with your name on it

[Historic NY]

29. He rotting from the outside in.....

or they are embalming him with something for his Alzheimer's. There are new infusion therapies.

[mzmolly]

31. I hope he's dying.

eom

[Kid Berwyn]

34. Rotter's Rotting

Evil really seeps all the way through.

[Diamond_Dog]

35. As vain as he is, I'm surprised they let it go without the smear of makeup on the world stage.

[no_hypocrisy]

38. Collapsed veins

[C_U_L8R]

39. Out, damned spot, out, I say!

He must be sleepwalking again.

[Luz]

40. Yeesh, I wonder what the rest of his corpse looks

like.

[Boo1]

41. Duh

He traveled across the Prime Meridian, so you have to use the left hand to shake hands.

Its science.
