1. Is that a prosthetic?

[COL Mustard]

3. Oh, god. If he's going bionic

He’ll live forever……

[wnylib]

23. What a nightmare!

[Harker]

2. It looks pretty mutilizated.

[Silver Gaia]

4. Where is the "missing chunk" located?

That shot is so blurry. All I see is a gnarled, wrinkly old guy hand.

[John1956PA]

7. I think the reference is to a perceived divot in the lower center of the backside of the right hand.

It is believed by many that the backside of his right hand underwent trauma from insertion of IV needles. It is thought that he wore bandaging and makeup on it last year.

[niyad]

8. If you enlarge the image, and look right above the cuff, there is a

depression just to the left of center.

[ratchiweenie]

59. I am an old woman. When I hold my hand at the same angle, I have a deep divot to the right of the tendon and a shallower

one to the left. This is not missing flesh, it is just old wrinkled skin.

[bucolic_frolic]

5. I don't know

Looks like healed vein puncture to me

[eShirl]

15. that was one hell of a puncture

[malaise]

6. Rot away

31 days to the big 80

[Xipe Totec]

32. Bleed long and fester. nt

[displacedvermoter]

42. March on, oh Spirochete!

[CanonRay]

55. I see what you did there

[zanana1]

9. Don't hate me...

But it looks like a 79 year old hand to me.

[3Hotdogs]

21. I'm 83. My hands don't look nothing like those claws.

[Trueblue Texan]

47. No...there is definitely flesh missing...

and notice the bruising is broader than previously. The makeup isn’t stretched quite as far as the bruising. I wonder if he had some kind of incident with an IV.

[obamanut2012]

56. ahve plenty of folks in my life 70-98, none of their hands are like that

None.

That isn't from arthritis.

[Orrex]

10. His fuckhead KKKultists will call it stigmata

[Redleg]

14. That is some disgraceful shit there

They have to be rubes to believe that Trump is Christ-like or an instrument of God (or god if you prefer).

[Orrex]

18. "Rubes" is far too polite a term for those ignorant racist fuckheads

They already worship him; they happily equate him with Jesus, except that Jesus didn’t suffer nearly as much (in their view).

[wnylib]

30. To prove that he is Jesus, he would have to

do all the same things Jesus did.

[Redleg]

50. It is far too polite for some of them- I am trying to moderate my language somewhat

I pride myself on my facility to swear in great vulgar torrents and to devise creative new combinations of filthy and derogatory terms. The problem is that I don't have the words to truly describe the absolute shit-fuckery of these worthless people.

[indusurb]

11. That's scarrification from getting ongoing IV sticks

That's almost a perfect match, in miniature, of the scars I got in the crooks of both elbows from selling plasma twice a week for two years back in the eighties. Granted they were using twelve gauge needles on me, whereas they're using much smaller needles on Trump, but elderly skin doesn't heal as well and scars quicker.

Still he must be getting a heck of a lot of IV sticks for some malady or other. Look for one of those divots to show up on his left hand because once you get that kindof scar tissue it's tough and painful to get a needle through it.

[Sympthsical]

29. Looks the same to me. Old hand + IV

Which we kind of knew he was getting an IV for something.

That's just how that ends up looking sometimes.

But "chunk of flesh!" is certainly some clickbait.

Understandable that everyone's hopeful, but this doesn't look that unusual in someone hedging 80 who's had peripheral IVs.

I am dreadfully curious what he's being treated for. Of course there is tons of speculation, but even educated guesses are still diagnosing from afar. One imagines we'll find out someday. The people around him can't keep anything quiet ever for very long.

[FakeNoose]

35. Yes ... plus he plays a lot of golf ... so a lot of time in the sun

I'm sure he's got age spots (former freckles) on his skin. That's partly why he wears that awful orange makeup on his face, but most people never think to cover age spots on the hands or arms.

[yardwork]

46. Oh let's speculate!

Separating this from Trump, what are some possible reasons for regular IV infusions in the hand over a long period of time?

I don't have much knowledge about this. Maybe...

Chemo infusions for cancer or an autoimmune disease? Or a weird woo-woo elixir of life treatment recommended by RFK, Jr.?

I would not be surprised if he's doing some kind of weird woo-woo treatment recommended by the weirdos around him.

[dem4decades]

48. He's main lining prime rib.

[The Madcap]

53. Don't you mean Big Mac's?

[NH Ethylene]

58. For chemo, they generally create a port.

I had one on my chest when I had cancer. I don't understand why they would repeatedly give him IVs in his hand when they could use a portal that's always available.

But I don't know much about this sort of thing.

[Silver Gaia]

67. Yes. They put a port in the upper chest for chemo.

Multiple hand IVs would be impractical for chemo infusions..

[MustLoveBeagles]

62. Yeah

I wasn't seeing a missing chunk of flesh
Just an old dude's hand.

[zanana1]

37. OUCH

[twodogsbarking]

12. He just needs more cholesterol.

[TheRickles]

13. Yes, a favorite sign from the No Kings marches: "Cholesterol - Do your job!"

[niyad]

16. Whatever it is, I hope it is nothing minor..

[ahnakneemoose]

40. Okay :: That Took Me a Second (Look) Or Two

[niyad]

44. That's understandable. It is early yet.

[sinkingfeeling]

17. I have a missing muscle under my left thumb on the palm side. I'm back in the US to have

medical tests run on it. I've been told it's a known condition that can be the result of carpal tunnel. I even posted about it with photos a few months ago.

[Srkdqltr]

19. Absurd. He has old hands because he is old. I don't see chunks gone. Ridiculous.

[Trueblue Texan]

49. Blow the photo up...

Where the central tendon meets his cuff, there is definitely flesh missing. But it looks like it’s mostly healed. My guess is he had a bad experience with an IV.

[Kid Berwyn]

20. Necrosis is a terrible thing.

Oh well.

[Johnny2X2X]

22. Chemo

There are types of chemo that can eat the skin, but they would probably not give that through the hand.

Why didn’t the media ask him about it more?

[Irish_Dem]

26. US media is part of the Trump Crime Syndicate.

[Johnny2X2X]

39. So true

I think I fully realized it during the 2024 campaign when Trump was completely controlling the media coverage of both he and Biden and then Harris. When it came out in court before that that Trump basically had medi9a members from the NY Times and MSNBC on his campaign payroll and it was barely covered as a scandal I realized that he spent the last 4 years corrupting the media and if he had plants at the NYT and MSNBC, he had plants everywhere. I told a friend that if he has the media in his pocket like I think he might, it won't matter who runs against him, he will beat them. And that's exactly what played out where the media just magnified his campaign's themes and hammered Biden and then Harris. The his buddy took over Twitter and he started paling around with Zuckerberg and I knew he had social media too.

I don't know if we can win with the media being controlled like this. Substance doesn't matter when the GOP can just utter their opponent is woke, and then the media parrots it while social media fills voters' social media feeds with propaganda. I don't know if we can break through that without doing work behind the scenes to uncorrupt all of this.

[Irish_Dem]

43. He wins because of all of it, not just the media.

He owns the courts, congress, corporations, universities, voting machines,
districting efforts, and most of the media, US military and ICE.

And he is silencing any criticism with his arrests and lawsuits against whistleblowers.

He has the entire system sewn up.

Even if he doesn't win, he can declare fraud and get the troops in place.

[Johnny2X2X]

45. His lawsuit vs the IRS

I think that's a trial balloon for me. He's negotiated a multi $billion dollar settlement with himself. How this gets covered is a litmus test. If it doesn't garner the largest media outrage ever, we are cooked.

I think they'll try to seal the terms of the settlement, but the amount will leak. If this isn't a massive story, we just don't have any hope. And if he gets away with it, expect more lawsuits for bigger amounts.

[Swede]

24. It's definately weird looking. Like a circular burn, the skin next to the circle looks more normal.

Rotting in real time.

[Vinca]

25. I'm not seeing it. It just looks like an arthritic, wrinkly, gross, tiny hand.

Looks like there's an indentation where he gets some kind of IV, but that's been there. My husband disagrees with me. He says it looks like something's been sucked out of his hand. No bruising, no bandage??

[sop]

27. He's been shaking too many hands...

[C_U_L8R]

28. Stigmata.

He shouldn’t be cosplaying Jesus. God might be smiting him.

[NCDem47]

31. That hand photo needed to come with a trigger warning.

Vomit city.

I'm sorry...nothing about that looks normal.

[Norrrm]

33. Melania is slapping his hand away more vigorously nowadays.

[GoCubsGo]

34. It looks more like a bulging vein to me

A very large one.

[pfitz59]

36. Too many needle sticks

from some sort of infusion? Chemo?

[hatrack]

38. Chunk of flesh? Nah . . . but definitely shitty circulation, courtesy of age and needles . . .

.

[usonian]

41. Think RFK Jr. Leech or piranha therapy.

Simple.

[Happy Hoosier]

51. I'm calling it...

He's an animated corpse with an AI Trump emulator running his foul mouth.

[spanone]

52. So is his brain. His mane just covers it.

[Ms. Toad]

54. Looks like fat atrophy to me.

I'm familiar with it from a foot condition treated by injections of steroids between the toes. It things out the far pad on the bottom of the foot, and often also creates divots like that between the metatarsals on the top of the foot as the fat dies off in response to the the steroids.

[gab13by13]

57. It may just be Ebola.

[MineralMan]

60. Nothing is missing on his hand.

That divot is the junction of two tendons in the back of the hand. On old people, they can stand out.|

The photo depicts no missing tissues.

[Blue Owl]

61. Proceed.

Quickly.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

63. trump is not well

Link to tweet

[republianmushroom]

64. Yes, impatient

[Doodley]

65. Nothing remarkable for an almost 80-year-old on aspirin or blood thinners. Too much wishful thinking.

[Rob H.]

66. My dad will be 82 in July and his hands look nothing like that

Granted, it's a sample size of 1 and my dad doesn't live on Big Macs and Diet Coke and isn't morbidly obese like Orange Foolius, but that doesn't look normal to me.
