"Close-up photos of the president's right hand show flesh-color bandages..."

[MelissaB]

“Close-up photos of the president's right hand,” says @toddgillman’s pool report from Trump’s balcony speech to south lawn guests, “show flesh-color bandages, presumably where he received intravenous injection.“

He's still being treated? Couldn't he just have covered w/ makeup if he wasn't?

[dem4decades]

1. Why aren't the flesh colored bandaids the color of his face?

[PatSeg]

11. Because the bandaids are FLESH colored

[dem4decades]

13. Do you think Trump stocks up on orange bandaids this time of year?

[PatSeg]

15. Ha, ha, ha!!!

Blows my mind. Probably the most photographed man in the world and he still doesn't realize how ridiculous he looks!

[RKP5637]

2. Face of pure health!

[Cha]

37. omg.. Covita looks like Pure SHIT! I see he hasn't let

let up on the deep fried chicken

[Maru Kitteh]

38. That's the steroids Cha.

LOTS OF THEM from the looks of him.

[Cha]

39. Really.. wow. Steroids make you look

like Putin's Monster... with that Bloated gravely face?

Don't steroid users have side effects?

TY Maru

[Maru Kitteh]

44. Here is one example of how much Dexamethasone can change your appearance

It is WAY strong stuff. It's the reason he's been SO high.

[Cha]

47. Oh gosh.. but the gravely complixioun is

all his own.. he had that before steroids.

TY.

[soothsayer]

3. Arm can't take it anymore?

[cwydro]

9. During surgeries I've had, using the hand has been usual.

I hate it because it hurts.

[PatSeg]

12. I've had quite a few IVs in my hand as well

They often have to go where they can find the best vein.

[soothsayer]

20. Same! And ouch. But the hand being used is new for drumpf

Maybe collapsed his old veins elsewhere

[malaise]

4. IV

Oops!

[Lars39]

5. Looks like a tube running up his shirt.

[KewlKat]

10. I agree. Like a tube coming from the band aid up his sleeve. I wonder if there other pics?

[Marius25]

16. Really? it's hard to tell. Could just be his skin.

[Lars39]

19. I zoomed in on my iPad...could go either way.

[sprinkleeninow]

30. It does look like a line. There's a ridge under the bandages? Not flat smooth. 🤔

[Nay]

35. I think that might be a pad underneath the Band-aid -- that pressure bandage lump you

would have if the IV wound (or the needle stick) was very recent and they wanted to stop the bleeding. I wonder if he is still on IV there at the White House? That would be news . . .

[sprinkleeninow]

36. We'll never know the score. They lie so much, if they do accidentally tell the truth, we won't

believe it anyway.

[soothsayer]

21. Bullwinkle: nothing up my sleeve

[moonscape]

46. It does. At first I thought

the bandage was to cover up bruising, because I had ones that were too purple for makeup. But a close zoom I do see what appears to be a translucent line to his shirt.

[blogslut]

6. What a weird angle on that photo

It looks like his arm belongs on another body. And the foundation is, well, thick.

[Totally Tunsie]

7. He's trying to unite the world cultures by utilizing all

their colors on one specimen - himself.

?fit=inside|540:540

[Afromania]

8. Ugh, man. That looks like a bad shop.

First off you got a big ass bobble head that's been colored in terracotta for some reason. A tiny, pale, little hand just floating out there. Looking like it belongs to a body of a much smaller somebody else. Then there is that poor collar being eaten alive by those puke looking Jaba rolls. What an awful picture of this dude you took Mandel Ngan.......... Bravo

[Dem2theMax]

14. Need a second opinion.

To me, it looks like the one eye we can see has a very dilated pupil. And he's looking into the light, so it should be smaller.

If he didn't have all the drugs and IV's, he couldn't be doing what he's doing right now.

[OneBro]

17. Curious number of black folk in the crowd.

My money says there’s a story there.

[cwydro]

23. Plenty of threads on it.

Some idiot named Candace Owen has a group called Blexit.

First I heard of it was today.

[stillcool]

24. interesting group..

Candace Owens' BLEXIT group pays for some attendees' travel to Trump's White House event
Attendees were told they "must" wear a BLEXIT shirt, according to emails.

Some guests for Saturday's White House event on the South Lawn, which will be President Donald Trump's first since testing positive for the coronavirus, had their travel and lodging paid for by controversial conservative activist Candace Owens' group BLEXIT, according to emails obtained by ABC News.

Supporters, who are also scheduled to attend a separate BLEXIT event earlier in the day, were invited to attend a "HUGE outdoor rally" by the group and asked to fill out a form that notified them that BLEXIT, a campaign urging Black Americans to leave the Democratic Party, will be covering travel costs.
==================
Attendees for Saturday's event were also told, "EVERYONE MUST WEAR A BLEXIT T-SHIRT (Which will be given to you ahead of the event) -- no exceptions."

Following Trump's remarks, the BLEXIT group is also planning a demonstration at Black Lives Matter Plaza showing "support for law enforcement," according to the schedule.

31. Interesting indeed. Thank you for this.

[Cha]

42. Too bad for the maggots the Gaslighting of

Black people being there is Not going to help their Fascist cause.

[SledDriver]

18. I see they had to use the child-size bandages

on those teeny little hands of his. Surprised they're not "Dora the Explorer" or "Teletubbies" or something like that.

[DBoon]

22. How did they manage to find his hand in order to put an IV into it?

[Deuxcents]

25. I noticed that

His hand is pale n his face n neck are orange. The photo has them so close together it’s hard to miss..so, yeah..the face of health?

[fierywoman]

26. Could someone please photoshop his face to be the same color as the hand?

[drray23]

27. So they pumped him up with drugs right before the speech

and all he could do is 18 minutes before he had to get hooked up again?

[TheOther95Percent]

28. Maybe the band-aid is covering up bruises

People bruise more easily as they age. My MIL gets an IV in her hand and ends up with a huge bruise in that spot. That's an awfully big bandage to cover up an injection spot. I can see a little discoloring around the edges too. That's my guess. His hand looks a gator chomped on it.

[Wellstone ruled]

29. Notice the skin

bruising just to the right and above the Band Aid. Did he have another Dose of the experimental cocktail or just a hydration IV?

[secondwind]

32. Those PORES!! Yearning to breathe free!

[DeminPennswoods]

33. Using the back of the hand for IVs is not unusual

It looks to me as if there's a small gauze patch showing out of both the bandage pad sides. It's those two small white lines. This would be consistent with how an IV needle prick is covered. First the gauze patch to compress the wound and stop bleeding, then a bandage over it to hold it in place.

The Regeneron anti-body drug and IV remdisivir treatments are done, but he was also being given an IV of dexamethasone. The latter might still be continuing.

[C_U_L8R]

34. The french cuffs. So tacky gangster.

[Autumn]

40. He has an IV cannula under that bandage. Enlarge it and you can see the thin tube coming out

of the bandage and into his shirt sleeve.

[BainsBane]

41. Bandaids

This is silly.

[electric_blue68]

43. They are regular Big band-aids so the gauze...

...on them is thicker than your average size one so it looks more prominent as it ends, and the sticky part of the bandage begins.

Also (having zoomed in on photo) I don't think that's a tube. It's a little difficult to truly tell; but I think a tube even a small one would have a more even reflection of light.
This looks more like rough skin.

[Blue Owl]

45. That's where they inject the aborted stem cells

In case the pro-lifers were wondering
