White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Thursday that the president wears bandages on the back of his hand because he’s “literally constantly shaking hands.”
CNN host Jake Tapper isn’t buying the official White House explanation for Donald Trump sporting bandages on the back of his hand, arguing on “The Lead” that there’s more to the president’s health picture than has been revealed.
Tapper discussed the matter with CNN chief political analyst David Axelrod and ex-Trump aide Alyssa Farah Griffin after White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters Thursday that Trump wears the bandages as a result of “constantly shaking hands.”
“The White House gave the same explanation for bruising back in July,” Tapper said Thursday. “Obviously, he’s 79 years old. And there is something going on with his health that they’re not telling us, because otherwise, why did he have that MRI?”
No shit, Sherlock.
Best explanation I’ve seen for these bandages over bruises is he is receiving an infusion intravenously every two weeks of a type of medication for dementia, like Leqembi or Kisunla. Patients on these drugs require regular MRIs to monitor brain swelling or bleeding. The drugs cause side effects of fatigue, cardiovascular changes, dizziness, etc. It doesn’t stop dementia but it does slow it down.
Please die by the next month… please…
He has probably already forgotten his dementia diagnosis.
Is he dead yet?
I hear no cheering or fireworks, so I’m guessing he’s not.
It really doesn’t matter until he actually collapses to the floor. Even then they’ll try to spin it into something positive “Mr. president was exhausted for working the hardest anyone has ever worked.”
The Dems poisoned him. Kill all the Dems.
I’m so tired of this fucking story. This evil p.o.s is never going to die. We’ve been hearing Trump health/mind failing stories for like 10 fucking years already…
Wake me up when he’s actually dead. Unfortunately he’s probably going to outlive me and I’m only 39.
Exactly.
Unless his death is imminent, I dont care.
If he’s been having micro-strokes, the likelihood of a massive game-ending stroke is much higher than in the general population. Though it would be more just if he had one that rendered him crippled, incapable of speech, and in constant pain, then he lived another decade after being removed from office, having enough awareness to know that his ill-gotten gains and those of his family have been fully asset-stripped. Also, bedsores. Lots of bedsores.
"White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Thursday that the president wears bandages on the back of his hand because he’s “literally constantly shaking hands.”
As if that were even a slightly reasonable explanation.
So … he’s using the back of his hands to shake hands … of course he can’t do that right either
