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?”


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.
Found Vance’s account
I wish I was Vance, then I could kill myself and make the world a better place lol
His age makes people complacent because they assume he’s gonna die soon. Even if he does, I’m not sure it’ll improve anything
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.
You give what is hopefully not false hope for a brighter future!
It certainly feels that way.
