Check out Donnie's hand. Is he getting IV treatments?

[DesertRat]

Look at Trump's paw.
Is Trump getting IV treatments?
For what?
We knew every time Hillary coughed and all of RBG's treatments.
Is Trump sick?
Not just racist and cruel, but ACTUALLY sick?#TrumpShutdown #25thAmendment

A magnifying glass and tweezers should work.

PERFECT!

8. So adoring

[yonder]

37. The two of them are just so proud of themselves

[leftieNanner]

55. Wait a minute!!!

I think they wear the same shade of Maybelline!

Maybe they get together on prom night to do their hair and get dressed!

[smirkymonkey]

73. He's such an unctuous little boot-licker.

God, they both make me physically ill.

[2naSalit]

80. He reminds me of this guy...

[Snotcicles]

83. Nailed it. nt

[riversedge]

103. Look at the back of his hand.

[mitch96]

6. Or just a hematoma from a blood test.

Happens to me all the time.. If the IV goes thru the vein it leaks on the back side and leaks..

[Claritie Pixie]

9. Veins in the hand are fragile and only used if veins in the arm are shot.

It could either be from phlebotomy or infusion.

[mitch96]

41. "Veins in the hand are fragile"

When I was doing IV's I would try to avoid sticking the hand. Especially older people. They would just bust. Look good, feel good, nice and bouncy then boom.. Hey!!!! Dat's me now!!!
m

[demtenjeep]

95. for my remicade infusions I prefer the hand

of course, the skin is getting harder to use because there are too many scars

[Ms. Toad]

90. There are other reasons. Speaking as someone whose arm veins are just fine -

and who has had more than 100 (I stopped counting at 100) blood draws from my hand.

I did have a blockage at the thoracic outlet on the left side, but my veins were just find in the left side below the thoracic outlet, the veins in my right side was perfectly normal throughout.

But - blockage => no tourinequet on the left; blockage => heparin IV in the right forearm or higher; heparin IV => multiple pokes a day (or did at the time) below the heparin IV to check PT/INR. For an entire month of hospitalization. (They have better solutions now)

So - just sayin' that I know from personal experience that blood draws in the hand does not inherently mean veins are shot.

[YessirAtsaFact]

7. He put his hand on Melanoma's face

And she bit him

[Hugin]

11. Trumpty Dumpty was punching a wall.

Ironic.

[elfin]

12. Pretty fresh - blood seeping to surface. This is very odd - thanks for posting it. nt

[riversedge]

102. Hannity has a bandage on his hand also. Wonder if blood was being drawn at that site?? I have

no idea. Just strange.

[Wellstone ruled]

13. Sure looks like a I V mark.

[Glimmer of Hope]

14. It could be just a blood draw for tests not necessarily an IV.

I had this done recently because my arm veins are shot.

[Laffy Kat]

15. I don't know but it would be odd to take blood from the hand for a blood test. nt

[irisblue]

19. You can use hand/wrist veins IF the elbow veins aren't working.

I've done that in the past.

Also, he could have just hit his back of his hand hard enough to break skin. It isn't uncommon on aging people.

[DesertRat]

48. Why would the healthiest person to ever be POTUS need a blood test?

[TexasBushwhacker]

78. And he has a lot of body fat

Making the veins in the arm harder to find sometimes.

[Ms. Toad]

91. There are other reasons to draw from the hand/wristveins

See post 90

[Glimmer of Hope]

22. I have it done all the time. It is not odd.

[Grasswire2]

24. was done to me just yesterday for lab test

I have small veins, and they roll.

I always waive them off trying the vein inside the elbow because I know they won't get it there and I'll have a hematoma.

Yesterday the phlebotomist had to stick me twice to get the visible vein in the back of the hand, even.

[dixiegrrrrl]

42. FWIW...

Had a medical problem, lots of blood draws over a short time, my inner elbow veins disappeared, probably in fear of the needle...

they can't use the other arm, for medical reasons, so now I have a chest port.

Now, with age, I notice the veins in the inside of my wrist look like a river delta, branching out all over the place, but the skin is too thin for blood draw, found out the hard way.

So maybe his hand is a good draw/insert place for him. Really can't see any other reason to have a bandaid there. But never have seen fresh blood thru a bandaid after needle stick, either.

[shanti]

36. Well...

Some people have deep veins in the arm that make it difficult to take blood. Whenever ANYONE tries to take blood from my arm/elbow, I'm always left with a huge bruise after they dig for several minutes. Now, I just tell them to take it from my thumb/wrist. Much easier, less painful, no bruising. Some think it's more painful there, but it seems to be an individual thing.

[greatauntoftriplets]

25. So that would indicate his veins are bad.

Just a week ago, a phlebotomist told me that because my vein was so good I must drink a lot of water.

[mchill]

87. Not necessarily

I have it done in my right hand for other medical reasons that have nothing to do with my overall health.

[tammywammy]

94. Not really.

I have deep veins that can be shy to get the needle. I'm in fine health, but sometimes they go for the hand instead.

[yortsed snacilbuper]

16. Maybe he's getting hand enlargment shots?

[Gidney N Cloyd]

21. +1

[DesertRat]

49. Lol

[BumRushDaShow]

88. DUzy!

[lame54]

17. I like to think it's from backhanding Stephen Miller

[Yeehah]

18. What a vomit-inducing photo...

Vile propagandist Hannity and the invalid imbecile president.

[Vinca]

20. He might have had blood drawn for something. Sometimes if they can't hit a vein in the arm

they go for the top of the hand. Why would they bother though? No heart, no blood.

[FarPoint]

27. The AC veins are bigger....

hand veins are small, tight, weak and not a good option overall.

[Vinca]

33. I know, but it's happened to me so I know it does happen.

[FarPoint]

34. Yes, indeed it does happen....

[MFM008]

35. No blood

In a turnip with tiny hands.....

[greatauntoftriplets]

23. There's blood on the bandage, too.

[DesertRat]

51. I wonder what that's all about

And why the healthiest person to ever hold the office needs a blood test?

[greatauntoftriplets]

59. And are his arm veins in such bad shape that they had to take it from his hand?

Very mysterious.

[DesertRat]

65. Either taken from or infused into...

[greatauntoftriplets]

69. I've had multiple infusions and am currently having biweekly blood draws.

None come from my hand unless whoever is doing the needle has botched the effort.

[FarPoint]

26. As an Infusion Specialist....

I say yes, and very recently with fresh blood oozing thru the bandaide.

[DesertRat]

53. Thanks. Maybe he gets his Adderall via IV now

I wish a member of the press would ask him about it.

[LovingA2andMI]

28. It's Literally....

Blood on that Band-Aid. Yuck! He could be getting IV Treatments before events for all we know.

[niyad]

29. maybe he damaged it punching holes in a wall?

[niyad]

30. does sean insanity use the same tanning agent? they are the same weird color,

[LiberalLovinLug]

32. Or punching the desk or wall

In frustration at Nancy and Chuck.

[Dave Starsky]

38. He looked horrible at that Texas appearance.

I mean, he's a fugly dude anyway, but his face looked like a Thanksgiving turkey that had been injected with butter and garlic.

[CatMor]

57. Love your description of him.

[yonder]

40. It's the port where they drain the brains and add the Adderall.

[cynatnite]

43. the skin is likely very thin and easy to tear...

Age does that.

Plus, that's not a good spot for an IV anyway and it wouldn't be bleeding like that if it was.

[mantis49]

45. As a nurse in long term care for 25+ years, I'd say it was a skin tear.

Aging skin tears very easily. I am now having that problem myself. I bumped into a wall one time with my hand up in front of me and got a 3-cornered tear on the back of my hand that was 2 inches long. Sucks!

[LeftInTX]

46. I tend to agree..although his skin doesn't appear as thin as my mom's was

She had a tear...

Or maybe he's getting embalming fluid!!

[DesertRat]

56. That happens to my mom too.

But the blood tends to stay under the skin in her case. I've never seen fresh blood seeping under the bandaid.

[greatauntoftriplets]

82. Agreed.

My father's hands were burned during World War II because someone (not my father) did something stupid. AS he aged, the skin on his hands got bad. He'd get terrible bruises and occasionally tears in the skin that would open and bleed. But they covered most of his (large) hands and showed extensive discoloring until it healed.

It looked nothing like Spanky's owie.

[Dave Starsky]

71. Don't those kinds of tears typically happen on your forearms?

You know, the relatively larger parts of your upper extremities that tend to shear across things.

And aren't those skin tears usually dressed with something like Tegaderm? You know, a larger (transparent) dressing that also gives support to the surrounding skin. Not a Band-Aid.

Trump has a Band-Aid on the back of his hand.

Experienced nurse that you are, when you had a two-inch long skin tear on the back of your hand, did you put a Band-Aid on it?

[mantis49]

98. Bandaids are not good for that, no.

You can easily create another tear trying to remove it. But you know, he has the best doctors and others on his team!

I used a Telfa nonstick dressing on it, no Tegaderm at home.

[sfwriter]

86. He is notoriously thin skinned!

😉

[mnmoderatedem]

100. "the skin is likely very thin"

sort of sums him up metaphorically

[GoCubsGo]

44. It could be a diabetic ulcer.

Diabetics can have all sorts of skin issues, especially if they let their condition run unchecked. I would be surprised if Trump is NOT diabetic.

[Dave Starsky]

60. Those are more likely to happen in feet.

A place where you can't feel the damage (because of neuropathy,) see it (because of where it is), or heal it (because you have diabetes).

It definitely seems to me that he is getting an IV for something, and it was hastily removed before the photo op.

[MyNameGoesHere]

50. Treatment for tiny hand syndrome.

[peggysue2]

64. LOL!!

A funny, creative bust on the Trumpster. Made me laugh.

[Cousin Dupree]

58. He's thin-skinned

[Shrike47]

61. It's about the right time for his annual physical. Remember last year's?

He’s 6’3”. Hah.

[flibbitygiblets]

81. And a svelte 235 pounds. Probably the fittest human being on the planet, according

to Dr. Randall P. Bootlicker MD

[Doodley]

62. He rubbed his hand looking for a mushroom.

[ProudLib72]

63. Hannity has a bandaid, too

Fucking bandaid brothers! Wait for all the skin heads to start wearing bandaids.

[Harker]

67. IQ drip? n/t

[Hekate]

68. Could have had a little skin cancer excised. He golfs, he's in the sun, he uses a tanning bed. Meh.

[Hassler]

70. Punching walls in the WH?

[Botany]

85. That is what I thought but in that case it should be the knuckles or thumb .....

..... but maybe after his "hamberder tweet" this AM he might have given a
back hand slap to a table.

[TwistOneUp]

72. One can only hope... nt

[smirkymonkey]

74. He's been mainlining KFC gravy.

He can't get it down fast enough the usual way.

[Gothmog]

75. K&R

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

76. Is he getting silicone injections to make his hands bigger?

Kind of like Malaria's "kidney" surgery?

[ismnotwasm]

79. Whatever it is it's nasty and undignified

When you’re president, why go out with a dressing that needs to be changed?

[Sancho]

84. ...maybe he had a twitternoma removed?

[LuckyLib]

92. Ew-w-w! They both have bandaids! The Dumpster's is gross!

[3catwoman3]

93. He can't be bothered to put on...

...a clean bandaid?

[LuckyCharms]

96. It's a release valve to get rid of the excess bullshit he manufactures.

[Volaris]

97. That's where the addys go now...no more sniffling on the TV machine.

[LakeSuperiorView]

99. Well, he most definately did not slam his hand on the table...

and he DID NOT have a temper tantrum!!!

[riversedge]

101. Hannity has the same bandage on his hand. Wonder what is going on?

[RobinA]

104. Apparently Sharing

the same Tangerine Glow foundation. How weird.
