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.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 28 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Vance is pretty unpopular even with the Nazi base. Without the Führer, the whole movement will fizzle out.

Do people outside the UK know just how bad The Express is? It's a bottom-tier reactionary tabloid. Don't give them clicks.

[–] spongebue@lemmy.world 36 points 10 months ago

Never heard of it, but thanks for the heads up

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 17 points 10 months ago

The Express is what the Daily Mail secretly wants to be, were it not hindered by its own middle-class aspirations.

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.

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.

[–] Reyali@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

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!

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

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.

[–] loie@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

Perhaps some aide's concealer she had on her in the moment.

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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.

No. NOPE, Nononono. Don't listen to this guy. Right fucking now is the best time to die of natural causes, painfully.

Health fears?

Who fears for his health?

The fears are that he remains healthy enough to continue to do more damage.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago (2 children)

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.

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

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.

[–] Jikiya@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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.
