I am commenting just because I take issue with the headline. The bruise did not spread to his other hand. He has a bruise on one hand and a separate bruise on another hand. There’s no spreading because that’s not how a bruise works. It’s not fucking contagious.

You are using entirely the wrong sense of the word. It didn't spread like a rash, it spread like an idea. It spread like a bad smell. It spread like a poorly kept secret.

Hope he's suffering from that ❤️
If we're lucky, we might start 2026 with a state funeral~
There will be worldwide celebrations the likes we haven't seen since the end of WW II.
it won't solve our problems though.
It'll solve one of them
There's a bunch of problems derived from the child rapist existence so I'd say it will solve a few.
And will give us satisfaction for seeing a child rapist kick the bucket, that's always good news.

I plan on celebrating that illustrious day, but I do think we need to temper expectations a bit. I am truly not convinced it will actually change much. Trump is a symptom not the mastermind.
Yes, but Trump is the figurehead of a cult of personality and those never survive the loss of their face. There are enough loose cannons and outright insane people within the conservative political sphere that even if there is some kind of secret master plan on what to do after Trump is gone, once the inevitable shitstorm of internal backstabbing starts as everyone desperately scrambles to put themselves at the top it's likely to all go down in flames.

I'm not "concerned" or "alarmed" that he may be in poor health.
I'm cautiously hopeful that he may be in poor health.

I've lost track of the Trump period calendar going into the holidays, but my bet remains:
https://www.verywellhealth.com/injectable-alzheimers-drugs-8776312
In the open-label trial of subcutaneous Leqembi, 8% of patients experienced reactions at the injection site, and most side effects were mild or moderate, according to Eisai.
People who take Leqembi and Kisunla are required to get an MRI brain scan once a quarter to check for signs of brain damage, such as swelling and bleeding. Such amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA) can occur when someone uses a drug designed to clear amyloid. Most ARIA are asymptomatic or cause mild symptoms, but some ARIA require hospitalization and special treatment.
Eisai reported that people who received subcutaneous injections had slightly higher rates of ARIA than those who got an IV infusion, but the sample size of the injection group was small enough that an exact comparison can’t be made.
Trumps' been on this 28 day schedule of being very peppy, then dragging ass, then being practically dead, then getting his pep back. It lines up with the visual symptoms we see with his hands. He's also on his like, 3rd or 4th "annual"* MRI for the year.
*there is no annual MRI
This person is not fit and should be in a home.
Preferably one with bars and a strict dress code.

Please I pray to all 20,000 deities that humanity has worshiped 🙏🏼 can we please start 2026 without Shitler the child raping baby killer
I would prefer a messy, public, ugly decline into gibbering madness and emotional turmoil. Something that makes it difficult for them to put him in public at all so we can see the conspiracies brew about how the Vance-Kirk deep state trying to subvert Trump.
All of these weirdos can claw each other apart as they jockey for position in the power vacuum, and with any luck, their flailing exposes more and more people to legal problems that Trump can't hand wave away.
If the death of Charlie Kirk is any kind of barometer, the death of Trump, no matter how it happens, is going to be the biggest clusterfuck imaginable for the right. They know this too, that's why they are feebly parading Vance around, propping Erica Kirk next to him, making him try to sound "trumpy" by having him complain about how he hates turkey, and it's all falling completely flat.
They only need Trump for two years. The will 25th Amendment him right after his 3rd year of this term starts and then claim to be heroes.
Peter Thiel's plan is for Vance to have 10 years as President, doing everything that Theil and the rest of the Epstein class wants to loot & destroy the country. That can't happen if Trump has less than two years as President this term.

Wake me up when he dies, otherwise I don't care
The White House previously said that Trump's hand looked that way because he shook so many hands. So, how can they explain it on his left hand? Did he get it from jerking off two horses at once or something?

Some people speculate is dementia drug infusions.
I did work for about a year doing pharm research for Alzheimer's. Most of those drugs are infusions.
However. None of them stop or reverse loss.
They just slow it down And they aren't even that effective. Honestly the data I saw.... My opinion was. :
-Desperate people are going to pay this $1200 a month infusion cost for literally no benefit and extra risks.
Based on the documents I read, for one of the drugs we were testing (I forget the drug but I recall it's already used to treat ALS)-
The dosage needed to cause a change in Alzheimer's would have a serious health risk of brain bleeding.
The dose we were using was like 1/3 of the expected effectiveness dosage.
I thought this was kind of unethical because people signed up to be in the study with the hope of a medicine that would help them. And that's how it was presented to them.
However. The study was really just trying to see how much brain bleeding occured at 1/3 dose.
With zero expectations for actual effectiveness on slowing down the progress.
I did not like the ethical issues with this line of work.
Anywho I have gotten on a tangent.
The other thing I wanted to say is , if these drugs are to have any effects in slowing (but none stop or reverse , just to be 100% clear on this), then the person MUST start them with early symptoms. What is called "mild cognitive impairment".
They do nothing if symptoms are already noticeable.
And most people don't realize they have dementia until it's already moderate because they mask their symptoms. Or their symptoms are often excused because "pops/Mom is getting old and that's normal".
Its progressive.
Slow at first. And most don't notice until it's gotten pretty bad.
Trump almost certainly has fronto temporal dementia.
I'm not the only neuroscientist to say so.
I'm not clinical but I did work with dementia patients. Plus many clinicians are saying the same.
He's got classic text ook symptoms.
People excuse his word salad because it slowly got worse.
But read out loud anything he writes or says.
It's nonsense. That's not normal. Read this and it's a good example of Trump's speech patterns.

-In a more extreme version of logorrhea aphasia, a clinician asked a male patient, also with Wernicke's aphasia, what brought him to the hospital. The patient responded:
-Is this some of the work that we work as we did before? ... All right ... From when wine [why] I'm here. What's wrong with me because I ... was myself until the taenz took something about the time between me and my regular time in that time and they took the time in that time here and that's when the time took around here and saw me around in it's started with me no time and I bekan [began] work of nothing else that's the way the doctor find me that way ...[5]

My father had those bruises on his hands in the last coupe years of his life. I don't care what caused them. I know what they mean. Can't happen fast enough.
Die faster, fash.
However he goes I just hope he shits his pants live on TV first
Hasn't he already? I know nothing is confirmed, but I've seen people's faced when they stand behind him.
Is that something that's been documented? I guess I've never noticed lol
He apparently has issues and always has an unpleasant air about him because he's soiling himself at a constant rate.
I would love to see evidence of this. Have things been leaked by those who've worked with him or?
Just accounts from when he was on "The Apprentice" and others who have been around him. He'd never let it leak he was incontinent.

It's really no mystery. It's where he gets the infusions of baby blood to keep him alive.
He obviously will die at some point and of course it if happens soon these articles and authors will all pat themselves on the back for calling it
But he could also live another 10+ years. Good example: Mitch McConnell has had bruising from blood thinners for years and he's very much alive and could just live another 10+ years, just like that.
Don't get your hopes up unless you're a masochist
It's nothing to be alarmed about. Trump's bruised hand vigorously shook hands with the other hand. Nothing out of the ordinary.

Some people are claiming it's from his Alzheimer's treatment. I had a senior family member who had bruises on and off for decades, people are looking way too much into this. It's like talking about Putin's cancer when they are going to be given the best treatment there is on Earth to treat it.
People are claiming his mental faculties are failing when the truth is he's just a compulsive egotistical manipulative liar who doesn't care about being right as long as he sounds right. He will make bullshit up on the spot so that the ignorant who rely on the flimsiest of social cues will think he actually knows what he is talking about. This is false hope, just like the Epstein files. He won't just topple over, he needs more opposition than he is getting.
