Donald Trump's 'Swollen And Discolored' Hand Garners A Lot Of Attention
Trump's appearance is once again getting attention, particularly his right hand, which once again looked swollen and discolored in pictures from an appearance with the King and Queen Consort on April 27th.
X user Aaron Rupar also shared a video of King Charles, 77, and the POTUS, 79, together, alongside their wives, with the caption: "The back of Trump's right hand is swollen and discolored as he poses for pictures with King Charles."
This isn't the first time his right hand has gotten attention, with it being brought up regularly over the past few years as fans expressed concern for his health. Many thought that the bruising is a result of IV infusions or blood thinners, while some previously suggested that congestive heart failure is not out of the realm of possibility. Others have wondered whether it could be hematoma, which is caused by damaged blood vessels.
The White House addressed the speculation in July last year, and claimed the discoloration was simply due to "frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin." However, not many people believed that...
Social Media Reactions
The internet had a lot of thoughts about the pictures of Trump's right hand and his appearance during the King and Queen Consort's visit in general. "His left hand doesn't look great either," observed one X user. "Both hands don't look very good," noted a second, as a third added: "That's worse than ever."
"Man's literally decomposing from the inside out in real time. Yeah he doesn't have much time left on this earth.... I'll give him 9-12 months at most," commented a fourth, as a fifth added: "He's decaying right in front of us."
Others thought it was "normal" considering his age, and somewhat believed the White House's explanation. "They probably just pumped him full of fluids to be able to be in public and it hasn't fully absorbed into him yet," suggested a sixth.
"Have none of these commenters ever had an old person in their lives? Old people's hands usually look pretty... old," declared a seventh, as an eighth concurred: "Pretty normal if you've ever seen an eighty year old." A ninth echoed: "You never seen an 80 year old man with a swollen and discolored hand?" A tenth agreed: "He's 79 years old, probably on blood thinners, and he shakes a lot of hands."
