Donald Trump Syphilis Rumors: Doctors Weigh In

[Emile]

Donald Trump faced fresh speculation about the state of his health this week after a photo showed his hands covered in red marks, a sign that some claimed was a symptom of syphilis, a sexually transmitted infection.

Former President Trump was pictured with marks on his right hand, finger and thumb as he left Trump Tower, Manhattan on Wednesday, January 17, heading to court, facing a second accusation of defamation from writer E. Jean Carroll, after he had previously been found liable for sexually abusing her at a New York City department store in the mid-1990s.

Democratic political consultant James Carville said a "number of MDs" had confirmed to him the marks were a sign of "secondary syphilis." "They don't look like cuts to me. They look like sores," Carville said. "And I asked a number of MDs what medical condition manifests itself through hand sores and the answer is immediate and unanimous: secondary syphilis.

"All right, I think I think there's a good chance this man has 'the clap' and I'm not being particularly secretive about it."

1. Well that fake medical person, the head of health..................

says there is no need for any form of medication, vaccines, shots, creams, etc.

I hope shithole abides by that.

2. Hope it's true

And he suffers and dies soon very soon.

3. Carville has been correct before.

I try to listen with an open mind.

6. from the OP article:

Mabey, a former director of the World Health Organization Collaborating Centre for Sexually Transmitted Infections at LSHTM, said while a rash on the palm of a hand can be a giveaway for secondary syphilis, there would usually be more, different-looking lesions.

"They wouldn't look quite like that. They'd be more sort of little raised papules they're so-called, or sometimes you know with the skin peeling off after a day or two," Mabey said.

Dr. Patricia Kissinger, an infectious disease epidemiologist who has spent decades working on STD research and prevention, told Newsweek that there was no way to make a firm determination without examination.

"This could be so many things including trauma, infection, Whitlow's," Kissinger said. "Moreover, secondary syphilis tends to be more on the palms. There are so many things it could be. I still think that it would be difficult to determine by just looking at a photo."

8. Just release all of his medical records.

If not this, what is he hiding?

[Celerity]

11. the motherfucker will never release any of his records, health or other types

13. Lots of people still don't get it.

"Normal" behavior and accountability still seems to be the expectation. We are way, way beyond that already, not in a good way. Maybe the best we can hope for is some vicious infighting in amongst themselves. Or a military intervention. Or a real, true general strike and shutdown. It ain't looking good.

4. Syphilis or not, more needs to be made of his hands,

and those red marks, or bruises, or whatever the hell they are. We've been seeing them for quite some time. The people deserve to know what the hell is going on here. If those were Joe Biden's hands, they would have been constantly diagnosing him, to the point where they'd just sign his death certificate, and remove him from office.

I have been saying for years that Trump is suffering from untreated syphilis. I'm mostly joking, but who the hell knows at this point? I wouldn't be surprised if it's the case, but I have no doubt he's riddled with all sorts of diseases and afflictions. The biggest waste of our tax dollars is all of the medical treatment that's going into keeping that worthless bag of flesh alive.

5. Trump during a Howard Stern interview in 1998:

Trump: "It's funny Howard, if I had sex with a number of women that I'm supposed to have had sex with, I wouldn't be talking to you right now. I'd be dead."

Stern: "Yeah, you'd be dead. You'd have some disease."

Trump: "I'd be dead."

Stern: "Hey, so wait a second, get back to my question. Let's say you're with a hot chick, right? But you're so germ paranoid, and I'm germ paranoid, do you say to them, 'look you've got to go take a medical test before I do you.'"

Trump: "Well, you'd like to say that, and sometimes you do. The problem is that sometimes your own chemicals take over and you can't wait."

Stern: "So you'll just have straight intercourse with a rubber with them right?"

Trump: "Well, I don't know, you know there's lots of different ways of doing it. It's a very complicated subject. They say that more people were killed by women in this act than killed in Vietnam, OK."

Stern: "Yes, that is true."

Trump: "You know, you get criticized for that statement, but that statement is very easily true."

Stern: "I even went as far to say that you're braver than any Vietnam vet because you're out there screwing a lot of women."

Trump: "Getting the Congressional Medal of Honor, in actuality."

Later in the interview Trump and Stern again compared avoiding STDs to Vietnam:

Trump: "I'm having a good time, but Howard, you know the one negative: It's very, very dangerous out there."

Stern: "Yes it is, it's your Vietnam."

Trump: "It's Vietnam. It is very dangerous. So I'm very, very careful."

Be proud, America, that's our syphilitic president.

9. He's just stupid enough to deny to himself that he has it and not get the shot.

Probably RFK Jr told him a nice bowl of rotting whale head soup would cure it for him.
