Oops he did it again...

if you zoom in on the photo, you'll notice that Trump's hand appears bandaged and covered by makeup:



My guess why the sticky part is mostly removed: His skin will come off with the bandage.

Goodnight Loon,,,

... he's getting something IV fed. It's weird how he is able to grow an ear back - but can't heal a little pin prick?

The thing is, why the Band-Aid?

I have a very low platelet count, it takes a hot minute for my blood to clot after a stick. Still, I can remove the bandage in 15-20 minutes and it is fine.

Now you see trump, double bandaged with not only tabs the cut off, but under the makeup. IMO it makes it look more visible.

Trust me. A while back I got hit in the eye with a baseball that was hit just right. I had a huge event to go to the next day. Noone could tell I had a massive black eye.

It could be Leqembi, a drug to combat earlier signs of Alzheimer's that is initially given as a infusion.

It can require regular MRIs and monitoring because it can cause brain bleeds and other complications.
