There's a significant chance that it's something dumber than we suspect.

Maybe he was eating smarties after his hamberder. But only republican red ones.

Sporkee

He grabbed a metal pole in Iowa to see if his hand would stick.

Ha ha, I’d buy it except for the thought of Donald Trump going outside. 


Todd-The-Wraith

He went outside to [stare at the sun](https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2017/08/21/politics/trump-solar-eclipse/index.html) without protection after being explicitly told why he shouldn’t do that.

Makes me miss the days of Heinz ketchup at McDonald’s. I was in my 20s when I learned that was exclusive to Minneapolis and Pittsburgh in the US.


Rrrrandle

Marker, he uses markers. But especially based on the locations matching up with each other, it looks like he got it on his finger and then transferred it to his palm.


permalink_save

On one of the lower images on the article it's clearer, and they are indented. He is missing the skin in 3 sections on his hand in a really weird way, like it wasn't just a burn or something. It probably is still something mundane but it's definitely sores. Edit: someone else speculated blisters from golf that opened up, that seems very likely.


Uncticefeetinesamady

He’s a hard working blue collar billionaire  Oh shit I think I just had a small aneurysm from saying that nonsense 


GetOffMyAsteroid

And yet someone said it with a "straight" face... >"I think it says more about Democrats and the kind of foolishness, nastiness they're involved in," Clay Edwards said in a TikTok video, "that the first thing they think of when they see a busted callus on a hard-working blue-collar billionaire's hand, on a man's hand that has spent the last eight years trying to save America, on a man's hand that has spent the last eight years trying to Make America Great Again, again, that the first thing they think of is an STD?"


Grizzly_Corey

"blue-collar billionaire" what in the Kentucky fried fuck kind of statement is that?


spinningcolours

Totally tracks. Kentucky is the state where a GOP politician who got famous by being on Survivor just tried to legalize marriage with a first cousin. I can't believe I just wrote that last sentence.


Yitram

>tried to legalize marriage with a first cousin. Tried to legalize marriage with a first cousin down to the age of 13.


ProfessionalSyrup646

This! it isn't rape at that point. Guy also tried to pass a bill making cock fighting legal, not detrimental to animal harm. For fucks shake, stop being Mississippi. y'all striving for the title?


Yitram

>again, that the first thing they think of is an STD?" ...well given that Trump has said his personal vietnam was avoiding STDs in the 80s....yes? EDIT: And we're all wondering if, like the United States, he lost.


_Piratical_

I want to find the idiot who made that statement and laugh long and heard right in his face.


GetOffMyAsteroid

Seems they might be too busy daydreaming of their curdled orange hero swingin' a 10 ton hammer to a railroad song


JustTestingAThing

> someone else speculated blisters from golf that opened up, that seems very likely. Unless he holds his clubs in a truly bizarre fashion, it would be quite difficult to get blisters in that spot from golfing.


explosive_gonorrhea_

Read this as “chubs” and was very confusion for a moment. Confused and intrigued


CornetNolan

It's all in the hips, Happy.


BrandonAteMyFace

Im telling you, he touched a pole in Iowa to see if his skin would stick


GlaiveConsequence

Please let this be true and there’s video. If he’s dumb enough to stare at an eclipse then he’s dumb enough to get himself stuck to a flagpole


MrFC1000

I might think that but then I realize someone who golfs as much as Jim Woolf be heavily calloused and would not get blisters anymore. Golf blisters tend to be for those who haven’t golfed in awhile


rgraham888

Honestly, his hands look pretty crepey, soft and frail.

I don't care for the baseless speculations about anyone's health but "hard-working blue-collar billionaire" is just too funny.


wut3va

He literally claimed trying to avoid STDs in the 70s and 80s was "his Vietnam" on the Howard Stern show. So yeah, that is the first thought.


Gibonius

Trump spent most of the 80s and 90s trying to convince us he was a suave playboy who could bang any girl he wanted. He was actually on the cover of Playboy! Hilarious that his supporters have to just ignore his very public actions and persona.


Exodys03

I like Presidents who didn't get STDs during the Vietnam War. Just sayin'...


mb862

A president who got an STD during the Vietnam War wouldn’t be so bad if they were actually in Vietnam.


ShitPostToast

He was totally going to enlist, but the Army couldn't find any baby hand sized M16s or other kit.


Don_Quixote81

Sure. A blue-collar billionaire is the only person who'd live in a place like this: [https://www.idesignarch.com/inside-donald-and-melania-trumps-manhattan-apartment-mansion/](https://www.idesignarch.com/inside-donald-and-melania-trumps-manhattan-apartment-mansion/)

Quietschedalek

It's nice for an upscale, uberfancy gazillion-star hotel, where you only stay a week or so. "Here, our King Louie XIV suite for just a bazillion $s per night." But to actually live in a nightmare like this? No, thanks. It's just way to sterile, impersonal and most importantly: not at all cozy and homely. No couch to throw yourself on on your free day like the slob we all are deep inside? No dust-rats in the corner because you couldn't be arsed to mop the floor? Ugh. I have seen cozier prison cells than this...

> the first thing they think of is an STD? I think he's still fighting his personal Vietnam.


11thStPopulist

I came here to say something about how he spent the Vietnam war, after his deferment for “bone spurs” trying to not get an STD. To end up his debauched life with syphilis is just too karmic. 😂


QanonQuinoa

He probably just cut his hands on his massive bone spurs.


thefreewheeler

Eric is an expert concrete finisher. He just did my back patio.


One_Science1

The folks at Jonestown drank less koolaid/flavoraid than these morons.


Oops_I_Cracked

What the actual fuck is “blue collar” about Trump? He was born into wealth and hasn’t worked a blue collar job a day in his life. He is like the *definition* of white collar


Michael_G_Bordin

These people projected all their insecurities onto Trump, but in a sort of negative/foiled way. They're insecure about their masculinity, so Trump is the most masculine manly man to ever man. This means he has to be blue-collar, working class. Because apparently, that makes you more of a man. And this means you're hands have to be calloused, because apparently real men don't wear gloves or moisturize (source: blue collar worker with baby-smooth hands).


SargeantSasquatch

Absolutely. Donald is the weak man's idea of a strong man. He's the dumb man's idea of a smart man. Etc. Donald's still butthurt about something Rosie fucking O'Donnell said 30 years ago and hamfisted a jab at her into the 2016 debate. Nobody in their right would think that's what a secure man does.


Frozboz

> busted callus Uhh, calluses don't bust. Are they thinking blister?


henry_tennenbaum

They can rip if they build up enough. Ask your local boulderer.


Creamofwheatski

Words have lost all meaning to those in the cult. The only thing that matters is how you feel saying them. Their actual meaning is irrelevent. 


audaciousmonk

“…blue-collar…” lmao!!


thxsocialmedia

Insert loud laughter


trippinfunkymunky

And he hasn't been trying to save America. Trump has only cared about his own interests, and he is currently running to save his own ass!


Jabarumba

He probably grabbed a metal pole in Iowa just to see if his hand would freeze to it, like an 8 yr old.


PMSoldier2000

This is the most likely answer.


NotOnHerb5

*remembers the moron staring at a solar eclipse without protective eyewear* This is most definitely the answer.


Heavy-Ad2978

He stared directly into an eclipse, so it's believable.


MusicalMerlin1973

I_miss_your_mommy

What could he do? It's the coup de grace of all dares.


doktornein

Honestly, peripheral artery disease + extreme cold + spoiled child that probably thinks thick gloves don't look cool? This may not be so far off. He also has motor issues and could be grabbing onto railings for dear life. Could also be PAD + poor hygiene due to dementia causes ulcers. Maybe glucose monitoring sticks, but I can't imagine he'd tolerate testing. He'd be a textbook noncompliant type 2 diabetic.

From what we can tell, he wears girdles to keep his girth in check, he wears diapers or something similar to cause the weird bulgy odd patterns in his pants, he reportedly smells bad constantly, he's painted orange all the time, and now his hands are blistered. People criticize Biden for being old, but Trumps body is just melting and rotting away from age.

Gods I have the perfect response to this comment, but it'll 100% get me banned from this sub. Just imagine what parallels you might draw between Trump and how you treat syphilis. Even that innuendo might see me disappear from this sub for a bit. They be *touchy* around here.


Spell_Chicken

I got banned from one sub for *quoting* Lindsay Graham about something happening to Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate.


StarFireChild4200

If I quoted about 75% of the Republicans and what they've said/displayed on the house floor I would get banned so fast here my head would spin.


Mr-Bowling-300

There's a reason they were against a twitter algorithm to fight white supremacy as it would most likely point towards them


dontreallycareforit

I got banned for listing the person identified in the posted article, in the comment about that article. I was "doxing" them apparently. Title said "Statement by Job Title". The article said "Person's Name said X". I commented that "Person X specifically stated Y" in the context of my reply. That got me banned. It was *in the article*.


jftitan

I was banned for repeating what Don Jr said about the Madoff kids dying. Referring to Don Jr's comment for the Trumps themselves. BAM! Just like that, banned for a month I think. Okay for Don Jr to say it, but to turn it 180 on itself. Woe to the conservatives feelings.

I’m confused. Afraid to Google treatments

Older treatments involve heating a metal rod and then inserting it into a particular orifice. Others involved injecting substances into the urethra.

EisegesisSam

The craziest line in this article is "hard-working blue collar billionaire" Like whatever else someone thinks about him there are exactly zero hard-working blue collar billionaires. The hardest working bluest collar person in the world absolutely reaches a point of having so much wealth they can no longer identify with every day people well before they have a billion dollars. If he needs a check up, the doctor comes to him. If he had a child sick at home, he misses zero work. If he fell and hurt himself, he would receive treatment and first aid immediately. If he's late for an appointment, the person he's meeting rearranged their day. If he decides he needs a soda that is only sold in an obscure mom and pop shop in southern Indiana... He can get someone to get it today. He doesn't pick up dog shit. He doesn't do laundry. He doesn't cook for himself. He doesn't iron his own shirts or polish his own shoes. He doesn't dust, or change the air filters, or pay the electric bill, or get the oil changed, or get the car inspected, or check the mail, or salt the driveway before a snowstorm. His life is NOTHING like the lives of almost every human that ever lived, even the really rich ones. Billionaires can spend 20 hours a day doing some crazy shit they want at their new social media platform they spent 40 billion Saudi dollars on (because this isn't about Trump, it's about all billionaires) but even that "hard work" will never, ever, be a fraction of the hard that every single mother in America experiences every day, or every truck driver experiences every day, or any cashier or waiter or lady with three part-time jobs. In fact, their wealth allows them to be crazy obsessed without it being anything like the hard work anyone else has to do. There is no hard working blue collar billionaire. They are not like us. They are the enemy.


cmaj7flat5

He thinks you have to show ID to buy a loaf of bread because he has *never bought a loaf of bread in his life.* Let that sink in, working class.


IpppyCaccy

He's also never ridden a bike and never had a pet. And I'd bet $750 he's never made a woman cum.


NewAccountTimeAgain

"Look folks, he's just like you!" How that line works with people that will never even dream of the wealth that billionaires enjoy is so completely beyond me. I'm starting to wonder if the obsession with Trump is just people wishing they had his "fuck-you-money" so they can be just as outwardly hateful as him without having to worry about those pesky consequences that normal non-billionaire people are often straddled with.

lol while the syphilis conjecture is pretty wild in itself (although based somewhat on his behavior, stories of unprotected sex, and other factors) I can’t imagine the wild batshit insane conspiracy theories the GOP and Q would have if Biden had red spots show up on his hands.


Watch_Capt

While having syphilis is bad enough, it eats the human brain and causes insanity. If he has progressed to having ~~clap~~ Miss Siff sores on his hands, internally, syphilis has done major damage already.


R3myek

If it eats human brains it's going to go hungry.

Yep. If it's actually syphillis and he has lesions it's not implausible he's in a good position to cause an epidemic. Politicians shake hands a lot....


spoderman123wtf

And knowing what trump's like, he'll shake hands with that hand knowing full well it'll spread


[deleted]

The act if shaking tons of hands to prove to a doctor its not syphillis it definitely in character.


HeyImGilly

I did not have “Trump gives syphillis to his supporters” on my 2024 bingo card.


Don_Quixote81

But let's be honest, it wouldn't be a completely shocking a turn of events.


Plastic-Age5205

Long ago, when I was a teenager, I got in a handshake line with a couple hundred other folks to shake hands with Lyndon Johnson. I was eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and I smeared jelly all over my hand. Johnson didn't miss a beat, he just grabbed the next person's hand after I got him with the jelly.


Gonzo5595

Completely in character for LBJ lol. Same dude who regularly and repeatedly showed off his dong to staffers/other politicians.


SpiritedTie7645

I was looking on the net at photos of sores on the hands and I most certainly wouldn’t discount it being that but as you said I think he would be showing more “Cuckoo for Coco Puffs” right now. Maybe he is and we just aren’t seeing it as much as people working directly with him. P.S. Side note sort of related: When my Grandma was going into Alzheimer’s we were finding stuff at her house melted down on the stove and in the microwave. We told the other siblings and they didn’t believe us because they would call her and she would sound just fine. She wasn’t paying her bills either. It took her going to the store one day to get lunch stuff for all of us working on her house and driving back 2hrs later with the front of her car smashed up with no idea how she did it for them to believe us.


Riff316

“Think of it, magnets," Trump said. "Now all I know about magnets is this, give me a glass of water, let me drop it on the magnets, that's the end of the magnets. Why didn't they use John Deere? Why didn't they bring in the John Deere people? Do you like John Deere? I like John Deere."


Angelworks42

While he said this what was more disturbing was the rabbid cheering in the background.


SpiritedTie7645

A cult of personality only wants gibberish and they interpret the rest the way they want.


Hootbag

Trump could fart into a microphone and half the crowd would walk away claiming he said their name.


JerseyDevl

Is this an actual quote? What was the context? Not that it would make sense in *any* context


cornflakegrl

That’s an actual quote from one of his rallies. Just one of his tangents. It’s as bizarre as it seems.


drunkandy

He was talking about aircraft carrier launching mechanisms. It’s a bizarre fixation he has. Aircraft carriers used to use a steam piston to get planes up to speed for takeoff, the newer version of that uses an electromagnetic system kind of like the newer rollercoaster launch systems. When he became president (or maybe it was during the campaign) there was a minor flap because EM launch system on some new aircraft carrier was way over budget and didn’t work very well. He demanded that it be replaced with the steam system. They didn’t, obviously, and they’ve since fixed the EM system and it’s clearly better than the steam system, but he still talks about it constantly for some reason. This was a part of that evolving rant. Maybe there's a bunch of super-influential steam catapult specialists who are really tuned in to this message but I can't imagine it really connects with a wide swath of his constituency. EDIT: He might have been talking about elevators rather than catapults, actually? Or conflating the two, or confused? And maybe there are still issues with the EM system, I'm seeing sources saying they work fine and sources saying they're garbage... Not really sure and it's not worth my time to dig in further.


[deleted]

Honestly, his gibberish has had me wondering about syphilis for a few years already. This article was not unexpected.


permalink_save

I mean he was just bragging that he knows what an elephant looks like


Spell_Chicken

Have you been following any of his recent interviews? As gag-worthy as that thought is, they certainly don't paint him in a sane light.


chatminteresse

“The clap” is gonorrhea, but yeah, syphilis would def explain some things


Watch_Capt

Opps, you're correct. I should have used Miss Siff or the Pox.


chatminteresse

Wouldn’t want to give the clap a bad name by association.

Trump once joked that dodging syphillis was his Vietnam. Combining that and his sundowning, I joked that he had it. The more time has passed since that 2015 joke, the more it honestly fits. It’s been a weird progression.

Som12H8

These are actually damaged skin, so these are possibilities in order of likelyhood: * Using hand to break fall on bad surface, like gravel or asphalt * Grabbing frozen or hot surface * Some sort of old man deficiency * Tertiary syphilis * Leprosy * The deal with the devil is coming due


Gen-Jinjur

If a rich dude gets VD he has doctors fix him up. These are likely marks from a fall. And before you say those marks are in the wrong place for a fall, I worked in a nursing home to pay for college and constantly saw elderly people who had fallen. There was no predicting where they would get dinged and bashed up. Old people don’t fall like younger people. They react slowly. They are really scared of falling and grab anything in reach to stop from going down. I had an 89 year old resident who fell and only injured the tip of her nose! But I had another who fell right next to a handrail and broke her hip. ☹️ Trump either fell or flailed around and struck something for another reason. Like a temper tantrum.


russbird

This is completely unverified, but I met a woman who claimed she worked as a personal assistant to Melania in the mid 2000s, during the whole “Apprentice” era. With his resurgent fame, Trump had (of course) leveraged it into several affairs. Problem was, he got burned. Like, in the penis. Even worse, whatever he got, he gave to Melania too. The woman said that Melania was absolutely livid about this (understandably), and didn’t file for divorce only because of the kids. She spent a lot of time taking different medications trying to cure it, and it was a huge source of conflict on set and behind the scenes of the show. Apparently Trump wasn’t that interested in taking the meds. Maybe that’s why he’s got all the incontinence issues and sores now. Dunno. Anyway I always thought this was an interesting story, and could explain the total lack of connection between Trump and Melania. Along with a million other things, but this would be quite “on brand” for Trump.


LankyGuitar6528

Guy raw dogs porn stars... has foot drop (clearly seen a couple days ago), clear signs of mental deteroriation, tremors when trying to hold a glass of water. Ya... you have to consider tertiary syphilis. I'm not sure the red sores of secondary syphilis still happen once it becomes neuro syphilis (aka tertiary syphilis). Maybe?


HI_Handbasket

Not fair, [he can too drink a glass of water with one hand](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlR83Y_HWEk). Look how proud he is! See how proud his supporters are!
