I suspect congestive heart disease... which is why I don't believe he is taking HC. I also think he probably has oxygen in his residence.
Maybe C-pap for sleeping.

Just sayin. Every pore on his face is screaming for oxygen. I lived through this with my Mom. Her skin has that spongy look too.

It could also explain the late starts at his appearances. He might be getting O2 to get his oxygen levels up before he steps out for press events. I don't think the pResident is well.

The latter is a condition that increases morbidity of CV-19, as well.

his makeup slave just forgot to put the pasty white makeup on them before troweling the orange on the rest of his bloated face.

When he's particularly toxic. This shot looks like he had the goggles on WAY too tight! in some others, the "bags" were lower (more typical for age), but were visibly blue through the TanningSpackle.

And if it was a hydroychloroquine side effect, those folks who take the drug for malaria would have them.

what he claims to be taking. He's promoting it because he's making $$ directly or indirectly from its sales.

Like I posted in another thread, he may be moistening the tip of his finger with the HC, and touching his tongue. That way there is a kernel of truth in his lie. Or maybe taking a teeny-tiny drop.

His health is so bad he wouldn't jeopardize it.

Hydroxychloroquine user here--depending on the dose you can get some brutal insomnia from the drug as it has a stimulant effect. I was on 400 mg daily when I first started taking it and was wide awake all night for that entire week.

And a lot of us healthy people have circles under our eyes that can be purple. Mine sometimes are. It tends to be a function of whether or not I'm short on sleep.
