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?
And "hair!?"
Looks like a spot where an IV might be placed.
that’s probably where he gets his daily bloodboy transfusion
Adrenachrome
Who is he, Peter Theil?
Yeah and he has catheter bags behind his calves, he's not well
Really? I heard that’s where he normally stores his McDonald’s Filet-o-Fish for easy access. Ever heard of a sandwich holster? Well he’s got one strapped to each calf like no one has ever seen before, on levels that no one has ever heard of before.
He's not well and plans to dismantle the government on his way out. What a way to go.
100% my first thought. Old people bruise like hell with even the best IV tech. How does anyone get a bruise there from a handshake?
Vanity. No other reason.
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.
The New Yorker has an article limit, but their entire article is just this BlueSky post. Image follows.
Blatant ad for the zoom lens capable of magnifying those tiny, disgusting, shriveled hands for inspection.
Shoutout to the James Webb Space Telescope team.
This is my favorite comment. Thank you
Mitch McConnell, trend setter. Who knew?

Why does McConnell look like he lost a fight here?
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.
Yo, why this obvious drag queen so anti (better) drag queens?
Oh, it's money & personal insecurities, nvm.
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.
Really? Got any previous images with such as spot or cover-up?
It could just be a bug bite, but I'm hoping he punched a wall in anger over the Epstein files.
It sure looks like he tried to cover up a bug bite or some other kind of rash to me, but two things:
- Who the fuck cares about what T-bag’s hands look like? He’s an unhealthy elderly man.
- 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.
Looks more like an IV bruise to me.
