Donald Trump Syphilis Rumors: Doctors Weigh In [View all]
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.
