Baron von CankleStein & his caked hands, "trigging a fresh wave of speculation about Trump's physical health"

At Trump's speech on Wednesday, one conspicuous detail stood out to a number of internet observers: the bruises on both of his hands that he clumsily tried to hide with a thick layer of makeup.

It's not the first time the nearly 80-year-old president has been spotted with ugly hand bruises — and it triggered a fresh wave of speculation about Trump's physical health.

"Looks like his dentist appointment was rough," wrote the "Angry Staffer" account — a reference to the fact that Trump went in for a dental appointment over the weekend.

It's not that hard. Offstage, I've worn make-up maybe 100 days in my life. No one professionally color-matched my foundation for me, and I haven't ever been able to see a foundation line . . . nor has anyone I have expressly asked to check my make-up.

Melania has been crucifying Trump; it’s their new game. Fun, but rough on the wrists. And frankly, he looks a bit silly in his diapers.

I usually think people are being carried away by wishful thinking. But I gotta say, lately he looks pretty bad.
