Donald Trump has confirmed that he wore compression socks to treat his cankles amid growing scrutiny over his health as America’s oldest president.
In an explosive interview about his medical treatments, Trump also admitted that he applies makeup to his hands, saying that the large daily dose of aspirin he takes to thin his blood causes them to bruise easily.
The Daily Beast has led the way in reporting on Trump’s efforts to hide his swollen ankles and the globs of makeup on his hands. Other media outlets largely ignored these issues, and the president and his inner circle have adamantly denied that he had any problems.
But in an interview with the Wall Street Journal on Thursday, Trump said he wore medical compression socks to help with swelling in his ankles.
I think this is a big reason they’re so desperate for people to stop talking about it…
trump would admit to wild shit a decade ago, he’s undoubtedly worse now. Someone asking him "“what’s the youngest woman who’s slept with you?” In a “nice” manner would likely get him to just openly admit to raping a child.
If it’s not phrased in a way that he gets defensive, he’s liable to just fucking answer.
“What is the age of your youngest partner?” would be a great question for him to be asked, and a skillful interviewer could absolutely get him to answer with pride about his misdeeds as he describes several instances of varying levels of horror before arriving at the single event he thinks TACOs all.
