Donny, are you ok?

I'm baffled. It still looks exactly like a blood draw or IV site and the bandaids fit with that. However, it's been going on for months and he surely has other sites to use. I don't think it's handshakes, cancer or a fracture. Maybe a repetitive motion injury from golf or signing EOs? Are you following the discussions? Anyone have reasonable ideas?

There's also a lot of makeup around the bandages.

Blood clots?

[GoCubsGo]

Yeah, full force of law here.

Advanced CVI.

Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) occurs when the veins' valves do not function properly, causing blood to flow backward and pool. It primarily affects the legs due to gravity, but it can also occur in the arms and hands.
CVI in the Hand
While CVI in the legs is common, the condition in the hands is much rarer and often a result of local factors.
Causes: In the hand, CVI or vascular insufficiency can stem from a variety of causes different from the legs, including trauma, compression, occlusions (blockages), tumors, and vasospastic conditions (spasms of blood vessels). It can also simply be due to weakened vein walls and valves in the arm/hand veins.
Symptoms: Symptoms in the hand often involve pain, numbness, cold intolerance, swelling, and discoloration of the fingertips. Non-healing ulcers may form in advanced cases. Enlarged or bulging veins may also be visible, which can be exacerbated by heat exposure or strenuous exercise like weightlifting.


Pretty sure we can rule out weightlifting.

I continue to be impressed with how the left has become medical experts over the last couple of years. For the four years of the Biden administration the left did not notice any decline in Biden's health.

Ok so it appears you aren't disagreeing that something is seriously wrong with Donald Trump since you've responded by deflecting to Biden, rather than refuting the topic at hand. We're glad you're finally coming around

[neoplacebo]

But his hand is miraculously healed!

Oh, wait.....

For the past three years or so if I hit the back of my hand against a cabinet shelf or the edge of a door, the next day a red/purple mostly circular bruise type spot will appear at the point of impact. They'll usually last four or five days but don't hurt; just looks like a bruise. I call them death spots.

I am not going to speculate about Trump's medical condition. Making outlandish statements does not necessarily indicate a cognitive problem. It is a common condition for all politicians.

Scenario: Two years from now, Donald Trump is seen being wheeled around, muttering under his breath incoherently. His words interpreted by a council of close aides.

Supsale, probably: I'm not going to speculate about his cognitive state. Incoherent muttering isn't indicative of anything. He's probably just tired from working so hard to make America great again.

Okay, okay, jokes aside. You don't find his behavior unbecoming of a president? Isnt it the least bit concerning that the president of the United States behaves like an angsty teenage girl on social media and can barely form a coherent sentence? And constantly contradicts himself through words and actions? None of this is normal. It's all so disgusting and bizarre. If a random person in my life behaved in that manner it would be cause for concern, let alone the president of the United States

[GoCubsGo]

Poor Supes doesn't believe his lying eyes.

As well as being obviously unwell, he's unhinged.

And just a couple of days ago he was wearing a hat that said America is Back!

here's Trump's entire racist rant about Minnesota's Somali community: "Somalians ripped off that state for billions of dollars. Billions. Every year. And they contribute nothing. The welfare is like 88%. They contribute nothing. I don't want them in our country, I'll be honest with you. 'Oh, that's not politically correct.' I don't care. Their country is no good for a reason. Their country stinks and we don't want them in our country. I can say that about other countries too. We have to rebuild our country. You know, our country is at a tipping point. We could go bad. I don't know if people mind me saying that, but I'm saying it. We could go one way or the other. And we're gonna go the wrong way if we keep taking in garbage into our country. Ilhan Omar is garbage. She's garbage. Her friends are garbage. These aren't people that work. These aren't people that say, 'Let's go, come on, let's make this place great.' These are people that do nothing but complain. And from where they came from, they got nothing. They come from hell and they complain and do nothing but bitch. We don't want them in our country. Let 'em go back to where they came from and fix it."

Good prediction, and probably more accurate than expecting sincere and thoughtful responses to your questions.

Hey SoupySales,
1. As you know, I AM a "medical expert".
2. You also know that this has been true for a long time, not just "over the last couple of years." In fact, it's been 36 years.
3. As you know from lurking, we WERE highly critical of Joe, something not tolerated with Dementia Don on your preferred nanny forum, CPFools.
4. Joe had Dem primary opponents who cited his age and literal and metaphorical stumbles. Granted, they did not gain a lot of traction, but denying their existence is .

... An April 2023 poll indicated that 70 percent of Americans, including 51 percent of Democrats, believed Biden should not seek a second term, with nearly half citing his age as the reason....

Opps.
5. I don't think any of us on BRD wanted Joe to run for a second term.
6. As you know from lurking, we WERE openly discussing Joe's decline, first in the Joltin' Joe Biden thread, then even starting a Joe, are you ok? thread.
7. I don't recall how all the BRDistas voted in their primaries, but I was so disgusted that I voted for Nikki Heat in the GQP primary and openly said so.
8. The debate disaster was not a revelation to the Left. Rather it was a confirmation of its worst fears. This gave critics the support they needed to rapidly and successfully call for Joe to withdraw.
9. In contrast, the Cult stood by DonOLD despite his equally significant signs of dementia from his first term on.

In other words, SoupySales is FoS when it comes to the Left, and especially here on BRD. All he's got is dishonest denial and cowardly deflection, both acutely unpatriotic. Are these signs of SoupySales' own mental decline? If so, ironic.

We are due an apology for SoupySales' non sequitur attack, but we all know that MAGA never has the spine to admit even PROVEN error.

"strenuous exercise", too.

DonOLD has admitted CVI with the ankle swelling, but as your paste says it's rare in the hands. It's also rare in just one hand. Plus, I would expect more edema while this just appears as a bruise that won't go away.

Maybe he's like neoplacebo and there's some common trauma like closing his hand in a desk drawer that he keeps repeating due to his forgetful dementia. Opps.

His off the cuff style does not concern if he is creating polices I agree with. His "unbecoming" is one reason so many are attracted to me.

[O Really]

A lot less are attracted now than before their faces started being eaten. The only president* with lowerpolls was fellow crooked repug Nixon. I could name 10 things to criticize Biden for, probably Obama too. How many could Supes find to criticize Trump? Apparently none.

His basic closing of the border. You know that border that Biden and Mayorkas needed a law.

Adjustments and elimination of regulations. There are many and it is not up to me to enumerate any. If there is any you disagree with, please share.

Trying to help local governments reduce crime.

His desire to bring our military back to "hurting people and breaking things".

[O Really]

Good answer, if any of that was actually true.

[supesalemgr2]

Good answer, if any of that was actually true.

Do you actually question the changes on the border?

Yes.
I would question any agency practice that gleefully violated existing law as a standard modus operandi.
