Looks like both hands now discolored.

[Kingofalldems]

These left-handed handshakes are even more intense than the right-handed ones.

And makeup on the right hand.

not only was Trump's right hand discolored on Christmas Eve, but it appears his left hand is now discolored too

1. It's spreading

I hope to wake up to good news in 2026!

[niyad]

24. I would like to wake up to good news tomorrow!!

[bucolic_frolic]

2. Nah

Must have been running a jackhammer at the White House demolition.

[Emile]

3. Shit poisoning. Too full of shit.

[Diamond_Dog]

4. They're upping his drug infusions.

[NotHardly]

19. That would be my guess as well.

[Warpy]

21. I imagine the bastard's veins are pretty shot by now

If his hands look sore, they are. I don't imagine his arms are much better.

Why the hell they haven't put in a Portacath for frequent infusions is beyond me unless he's scared of the surgery and pitches a snot slinging fit when the docs bring it up.

At this rate, they're going to be out of sites and at that point, they're just going to have to let him show the whole world the extent of his dementia. It is not going to be pretty.

[Iggo]

33. If that's the case, I hope he keeps refusing the port.

[Ilsa]

40. I can't imagine him allowing doctors to

use a vein in his leg, or place a visible catheter in his hand, if they could even find a usable vein. He's too vain to allow himself to look weak by having a visible port.
I'm hoping he'll insist they stop the treatment.

5. Looks like puncture marks in the close up. Maybe that snake bit him.

[Ms. Toad]

14. It's just pixelation.

The resolution is too low. When the resolution is too low, the gradation between dark and light is too dramatic to appear like a gradual change in colors. If you look to the right and slightly up, there are several similar lighter colored lines of pixelation.

37. As a nurse who has also done some professional portraiture, it looks

like venipuncture sites, 2 or 3 sticks, about 3-6 days ago. My guess would be a simple blood draw. I can’t imagine why he prefers the hands but he is a very stupid man with strange habits and a historically poor capacity for logic so . . .

As an aside, I’ve not seen any evidence that he would be on an IV drug for Alzheimer's, because I haven’t seen any evidence of Alzheimer’s type dementia. Given his lifestyle, diet and known medical history, I can buy cognitive decline and perhaps early-ish stages of vascular dementia. I also see evidence of a minor stroke.

DuckDuckGo AI overview of Alzheimer’s vs. vascular dementia:

Search Assist
Alzheimer's disease primarily causes memory loss and difficulties with language and problem-solving, while vascular dementia often leads to issues with attention, planning, and reasoning, and may present with sudden changes in symptoms following a stroke. Both conditions can overlap, but the early symptoms of vascular dementia may not emphasize memory loss as much as Alzheimer's.

39. I'm talking specifically about the spot alleged to be a "small hole."

The light colored area that might look - at a slight distance from the picture - like the flakes of loose skin which develop around the edge of an opening in the skin are simply the result of pixelation of a low resolution image.

I've been restoring old photos and retouching pretty rough medical images (as a digital retouch artist for Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep) for more than two decades, and am currently working on a BFA in photography. I spend (and have spent) a lot of time looking at pixelated images.

The bruising on his hands does not look to me like it comes from shaking his hands.

The regular bruising is odd - and suggests something which is repeated on a regular basis - like blood draws. I don't think it is likely it is from "2 or 3 sticks" though. When I was hospitalized on IV heparin for DVT at the thoracic outlet, I stopped at counting at 100 draws from my left hand during the first 2 weeks. The repeated sticks didn't cause bruising remotely similar to the bruises on his hand. A single blown stick, on the other hand, can cause bruising like that visible on his hands.

I believe he does have some sort of cognitive decline (comparison between speech patterns decades ago and now - as well as way too many similarities to my own spouse who has diagnosed cognitive decline). Figuring out what specific kind is above my pay grade.

17. Creepiest thing on YouTube is T💩p reading "The Snake" poem. He is the snake and he knows it.

[Conjuay]

27. Maybe that snake bit him.

The snake died.

[usonian]

28. Baby leopard. N/T

[canetoad]

6. Two sets of shots

The man with two brains?

[dalton99a]

7. His ankles are next

[Paper Roses]

8. Perhaps the veins in right hand are no longer any good,

Time to switch to the left hand.
What is next, the ankles?

[OMGWTF]

18. Cankles.

[SWBTATTReg]

9. They are running out of places to insert needles...

[Irish_Dem]

10. My thought as well. The injections are more frequent.

[pinkstarburst]

11. Surely he's just getting infusions

I get them regularly, and the infusion center prefers my hands, too.

[Kingofalldems]

12. But they continue to lie about it.

[displacedvermoter]

13. Treatment for tertiary syphilis I have read

I hope it is true.

[Joinfortmill]

15. Collapsing veins.

[madinmaryland]

16. Is it from wanking to much??

[eppur_se_muova]

20. Not his normal healthy orange at all. nt

[Orrex]

22. Sometimes they infuse his other hand so that it feels like someone else

Wait, what?

[Linda ladeewolf]

23. Strange, to me.

My grandfather died of a massive, heck I have no idea what it was, but blood basically exploded from his nose, mouth, ears and other places. I guess it was some sort of high blood pressure, not sure what those are called. If anyone knows, I would appreciate knowing the correct term. That was many many years ago before I was born.

25. Official photo just released.

[niyad]

26. Is that spackle, or primer, on his right hand? His left is swollen. (bottom pic)

[marble falls]

30. That's what happens when you hire the more inexpensive makeup artist.

[niyad]

35. And the cheapest makeup.

[marble falls]

36. note to self - the Home Depot is a bad place to source for make up.

38. An excellent reminder!

[marble falls]

29. And so is his black, black, evil souless heart.

[Grim Chieftain]

31. Backs of both hands discolored

Lips drooping on the right side, bloated ankles, awkward gait that veers from left to right, having difficulty navigating stairs, incoherent speech, diapers that give off an odorous stench- nah, he's fine, just ask the MAGAS . Nothing to see here.

[Blue Owl]

32. The Donny Death Watch just got more exciting

[yellow dahlia]

41. Lastib started a pool the other day.
