A photo of Trump emerging from Trump Tower, heading towards his E. Jean Carroll defamation trial, has sparked speculation over mysterious wounds appearing on Trump’s hand. The photo was flagged by Drudge Report who flagged the red marks as “mystery cuts on his fingers.” Drudge Report linked to Daily Mail which published the photos in their article.

    I’ll float some possible ideas:

    • I’m totally strong enough to unstick my wet hand from this freezing metal railing (noone had warm water but rumour has it there’s another tape he doesn’t want coming out now)

    • If I wear gloves I’ll appear weak. Suffers frostbite. Has no idea because he has peripheral neuropathy from dementia from the sugar diabetes.

    • Real theory? He heard Hitler and the boys didn’t bother with British Sudafed. They went all in on crystal meth. They say fascism burns itself out but a little amphetamine really keeps the magic alive. Yes, Trump spent a lot of time scratching one hand with the other over and over. A lifetime of narcissism keeps him from scratching his face, but for how long!

      Frostbite doesn’t look like that, generally. it starts as a general redness in the skin, by the time it’s causing wheals or lesions or whatever, they’re basically all over (especially fingertips and knuckles.) Also:

        A man came up to him, a Marine, with tears in his eyes, who said, “Sir, I’ve never cried in my whole life until now, but I’ve never seen anyone with such good syphilis as you. You’re an inspiration to everyone I know to get syphilis. Thank you.”

      Trump would never settle for secondary syphilis. He has only the best and strongest syphilis, folks. You wouldn’t believe how contagious this stuff is. It’s unbelievable.

      You know… in the past, big ridiculous wigs were used by people suffering from syphilis. Does anyone know if trump has a ridiculous wig?

    Doesn’t seem like a big deal… Just like his hands. Heyohhhh

    Or maybe he was eating cherry pudding… DeSantis style.

    Did he sign any agreement … in his blood … recently?

    I’m not being sarcastic.

    Sometimes people DO reach-out for demon-help, for demon power…

    Depends on the person, right?

    and how desparate they are, for associating with power over others…

      Is he a first grader? Was he eating paste in the court too? Maybe they should take away the sharp scissors before he hurts himself.

        Not going to argue that the guy is a fucking retard. My point was simply news sources are getting ridiculous and overblown.

      It looks like red sharpie from the thumbnail, but when I looked at the full picture it’s pretty clearly red splotches along the side of his index finger too, and that part does not look at all like sharpie.

    As amusing as it would be if it’s true, gonna have to put me down as a ‘doubt’ unless more solid evidence comes out.

    Looks like a paper cut on the inside of the knuckle, and there’s a spot of blood where it was touching his palm when he closed his hands.

    What a nothingburger. Let me know when he cuts his own throat so I can go piss on his grave.
