Donald Trump was seen with a noticeable layer of makeup on his right hand on Friday as he left the White House, amid ongoing speculation about his health. The 79-year-old is believed to have used makeup to hide bruising on his hand on several occasions since returning to office, but the application appeared particularly thick during his visit to The People’s House museum.
I wouldn’t say ‘fears’ exactly
lol fears. Hopes more like
Please die you miserable orange baby raping loser
noooo trump pls dont die :(
how will u be punished for raping children? :((((
I am embroidering a banner that says “Hooray! Trump is fucking dead!!!” I have several days of work to go, so please hold on until Tuesday, Donnie.
Tuesday does not work for me, can we do overnight express?
No. NOPE, Nononono. Don’t listen to this guy. Right fucking now is the best time to die of natural causes, painfully.
Let’s fucking goooOOOOOOOO!
;)
Again, I don’t think “fears” is the correct noun here.
Fears is a funny way to describe it.
I do kinda fear JD Vance being president. It’s mostly a “devil you know” kinda fear. There’s the off chance that he’s just the same same as Trump, but younger and, in the worst case scenario, more competent.
Vance is pretty unpopular even with the Nazi base. Without the Führer, the whole movement will fizzle out.
Probably not so much fizzle out as implode spectacularly through infighting about who is going to be their next führer. Vance was handpicked by Trump and has the respect of nobody. Everybody in the RNC will try to become the new king.
Cults of personality tend not to last once the personality dies.
I could be wrong, but I don’t see Vance holding vast swaths of the American public in the palm of his hands the way trump does. I don’t get it, because I find everything about Trump utterly repulsive, but he does seem to have an almost preternatural sway over his followers. I can’t imagine factions of the right having the same fear of going against Vance that they do for Trump. I think there would be more opportunity to build coalitions against the march towards fascism with Vance in the top job. But maybe I’m just a dreamer.
Yeah pretty much my take.
Trump has 3 relevant characteristics, he has evil intentions, he’s incompetent, he’s popular.
Vance has evil intentions, he’s less incompetent, but he’s less popular.
I really feel this is why they’ve been pushing EOs and other methods to increase the power the executive has. Even if Vance comes into power and has the charisma of a used napkin, he can just silence dissent anyway.
Don’t let your fears get in the way of your dreams. They are like moles. Only real way to get rid of them is systematically, one by one.
More competent should be better. It takes a special kind of stupid to betray your country as much as he has.
He might have a better position on the boat but we’re roughly all in the same boat. If he causes a greater depression, that certainly won’t be good for him. It’ll be a lot worse for us of course, but that doesn’t matter here.
The problem is Vance is the main one pushing the christo-fascist stuff. Trump is a greedy stupid narcissist which can (and has) caused plenty of short term damage. Enough short term damage can stack up to long term damage, but even that is recoverable. Over a long enough time scale foreign relations can be patched, soft power slowly restored. Nothing he has done domestically has been too catastrophic yet. Vance though has the potential intelligence to do some seriously long term lasting damage, the kind of stuff that would E.G. enshrine his particular flavor of Christianity as the national religion and make anyone who isn’t male and white a second class citizen. Once society gets tilted in that direction restoring it becomes incredibly hard. Like overthrow the government hard.
Trump in contrast is basically a toddler throwing a temper tantrum. Sure he might break stuff, but broken things are easier to repair than things that have been maliciously constructed. The fascist systems Vance might build are far scarier than whatever Trump comes up with because what Trump makes never lasts. Just wait a little while and it will naturally collapse from greed, incompetence, and infighting. Vance I fear could make something stable though.
The silver lining in this I suppose is that Vance lacks the conman skills that have allowed Trump to weaponize morons and force others to go along with his delusions. Without the throngs of MAGAts supporting him Vance won’t be able to strongarm the rest of the GOP the way Trump has which would hamper his efforts.

i fear it isn’t serious
Fears of joy.
For most people, its a fear of false hope
Hopes, health hopes. I hope his health continues this trend.
Should be renamed Terminal Weak Artery Trouble in honour of him
Do people outside the UK know just how bad The Express is? It’s a bottom-tier reactionary tabloid. Don’t give them clicks.
This story was needed as a filler because it’s too early for the annual “worst winter in twenty billion years” headline.
Yeh, we’re still in prime Princess Diana season
Never heard of it, but thanks for the heads up
The Express is what the Daily Mail secretly wants to be, were it not hindered by its own middle-class aspirations.
There’s such a simple, logical, reasonable explanation for a bruise like this: he had blood drawn recently and the phlebotomist had to draw from a vein on top of the hand. If TFG had any sense of humor he could joke about it. If he had any sense of relatability he would know that this happens all the time. But instead…he’d rather do this. Because he’s fuckin weird.
What if he thinks that if people think he is about to die there will be fewer attempts?
Relax, guy!
Would you like me to apply the baby oil to Satan’s asshole, boss?
HOPE isn’t spelled F-E-A-R, you silly goose.
I don’t fear poor health of POTUS.
But who will take care of us when papa leaves?
Whoever survives the systemic governmental collapse caused by his death.
That’s looks more like a skin graft than makeup. You would think they could get close to matching the color of the rest of his hand but this administration can’t even do that right.
It looks to me like he has a lot of blood pooling in his hands here, so it’s possible that in the morning, at rest with his arm on a table this did reasonably match his skin.
I say this as someone with a condition that causes blood to pool in my hands, so I know how extreme the color swings can be!
It kind of looks like a wound seal. But if he had a wound that big they would graft it.
The time I had a skin graft, they took a portion of donor skin from my upper thigh. So, same skin, but different levels of sun exposure.
For a long time I had this weird rectangle on my leg that looked like a movie theater screen.
To be fair, no makeup department stocks his unique shade of orange. You gotta go to Lowe’s and get a custom mix for that.
Perhaps some aide’s concealer she had on her in the moment.
All the McDoubles are leaking grease.
