Donald Trump was seen with a noticeable layer of makeup on his right hand on Friday as he left the White House, amid ongoing speculation about his health. The 79-year-old is believed to have used makeup to hide bruising on his hand on several occasions since returning to office, but the application appeared particularly thick during his visit to The People's House museum.

“Fears”????? What an odd way to spell “Hopes”. Also, Release the Epstein files.

[–] kaklerbitmap@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Completely unrelated, but what are your favorite jumping spiders?

[–] Jumpingspiderman@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Portia are up there. And there are a couple large Phiddipus species with red butts that my grad school Buds used to keep as pets. They were Mutellid mimics and were very entertaining critters

[–] kaklerbitmap@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Ha yeah Portia are awesome! And as far as the Phids do you mean P. johnsoni? I love them too! I currently have a mated pair in my spood collection, hoping for an eggsac..

There's not a god, because he's lived this long. But I pray to god he dies soon, ideally while I'm typing this.

Trumpie ain't going to die for another 20 years. Why? The universe fucking hates us.

Look at the other gaint pieces of shit, they all lived into their mid 80s or longer.

Jimmy Saville - Died: October 29, 2011 (age 84 years)
Henry Kissinger - Died: November 29, 2023 (age 100 years)
James C. Dobson - Died: August 21, 2025 (age 89 years)

He's lived a long time for somebody without a heart.

[–] some_kind_of_guy@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

What does he have instead, some kind of grease trap?

[–] k0e3@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 days ago

That's because he's the EpsTin List Man.

It's a shame it's not likely to be gangrene.

Health fears?

Who fears for his health?

The fears are that he remains healthy enough to continue to do more damage.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 104 points 3 days ago (4 children)

Do people outside the UK know just how bad The Express is? It's a bottom-tier reactionary tabloid. Don't give them clicks.

Never heard of it, but thanks for the heads up

Again, I don’t think “fears” is the correct noun here.

The only way health fears and Taco should be in the same sentence is the fear related to health when it comes to conservative policies like: cutting Medicaid, cutting medical research, increased pollution, etc...I don't have any fear at all when it comes to Taco's personal health issues.

Donald Trump health fears erupt yet again over the disappeance of strange spot on hand.

[–] Xatolos@reddthat.com 6 points 2 days ago

He didn't cut the White House / Presidential medical insurance though.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Lmao "fears" isn't quite the right word for this one.

[–] k0e3@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 days ago

Yeah, I'd use "teases." As a non-American, this has been like the greatest teaser since 2016 ish. Maybe Americans have been hating him before then.

[–] rbos@lemmy.ca 26 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I wouldn't say 'fears' exactly

[–] bigfondue@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I'm not sure that Trump dying would improve things. We then end up with President Vance, who is a Thiel creation and Yarvin fan. Possibly less corrupt, but definitely more competent and disciplined. Trump's main motivator is ego and impulse, but Vance actually believes in the TechFash goals.

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 2 days ago (2 children)

If Vance gets to be President, it'll be two weeks before an intern finds him sobbing in the closet.

Fascism doesn't survive its leader. The underlings fight for the power vacuum, and none of them end up winning.

Some people have accused me of being optimistic for saying this, but think about who does win in this situation. It would likely be a form of liberalism that's closer to western Europe in the social safety net aspect, but capitalism would be maintained. I can't deny that it's better than what we've had, but it's not the victory I would have hoped for given the amount of suffering to get there.

Please let him keel over. Please.

[–] Aeri@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

I can't believe Vance looks like an improvement. The bar is so low now we'll have to start drilling to find it.

Don't do that. Don't give me hope

[–] lemmy_outta_here@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago (4 children)

I am embroidering a banner that says “Hooray! Trump is fucking dead!!!!!” I have several days of work to go, so please hold on until Tuesday, Donnie.

The dude is 80, of course he's got health issues. It'd be weird if he didn't

Term limits and age limits

[–] k0e3@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 days ago

Expire already, god damn.

[–] loie@lemmy.world 28 points 3 days ago (1 children)

There's such a simple, logical, reasonable explanation for a bruise like this: he had blood drawn recently and the phlebotomist had to draw from a vein on top of the hand. If TFG had any sense of humor he could joke about it. If he had any sense of relatability he would know that this happens all the time. But instead...he'd rather do this. Because he's fuckin weird.

This dumbass has never heard of gloves, I guess. It's a nice thing to see his body is matching his cognitive decline, though!

By the way, he should release the Epstein Files.

[–] aarRJaay@lemmy.world 21 points 3 days ago

Should be renamed Terminal Weak Artery Trouble in honour of him

[–] codapine@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 days ago
[–] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

Hopes and dreams. Now release the epstein files.

Is it wrong to pray for, say, untreatable cancer?

[–] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 3 points 2 days ago (2 children)

On one hand, it would be nice if he died a horrible and painful death. On the other, I would prefer him to do so after failing to win an 2nd American Civil War. if there is an inevitable fight, I want the enemy leadership to be the dumbest and most clumsy jackasses possible. That would save lives for the good guys, and make Reconstruction easier to complete.

I cannot say I agree with this at all.

[–] themaninblack@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

They actually stopped trying to kill Hitler for this reason later in the war
