He’s been doing this for a while. Probably a big age spot or something similar that he is self-conscious and vain about. There was a similar article pointing this same spot out about 2-3 months ago.

He might be getting regular IV injections and getting some bruising there as a result.
That's what I was assuming.
I had that thought too, but why not just tap in somewhere less visible?
Other locations may be either too hard to access, too fragile from repeated injections, or too inconvenient for a whiney patient.
A friend of mine had to eventually have a port put in, because there wasn't anywhere left she could get an IV she'd had so many.
Trump could be anywhere on that list really. But if he's getting one every 6 weeks, they may be running out of suitable locations. They won't give him a port, that's just as likely to kill him.
What the fuck in Reddit dip shit is this news story this is not news This is a fucking distraction.
Yeah I wonder what's on his left hand
I hope it's cancer and I hope it kills him quick.
Not so fast there champ
I hope it disables him quickly and kills him slowly.
I want something that causes locked-in syndrome and a long ventilator-assisted life.
Maybe then he'll realize that yes, everyone does, in fact, hate him. And even the cowards he surround himself with will do it straight to his face for once.
Anyone seen Common Side Effects?
They'll still roll him out on stage and the morons will still celebrate.
I think he might be aware of that. His recent comments about him not getting into heaven seem to indicate a much larger self awareness than I ever gave him credit for.
and once they take all his money, he'll depend on medicare and suffer even more
I would bet he had an IV in his hand, and the IV caused bruising. He's slathered makeup on it like some fucking idiot.
He did this a few weeks ago, too. He absolutely is getting infusions of something on a regular basis. Could be hydration drips, could be anti-syphilis drugs. Who knows.
The blood of children, like they accused others of doing
The “every accusation is projection theorem” needs to be fully codified like Occam’s razor or Poes Law. Especially if we find out some of the craziest most off the wall qanon/blood libel shit is actually literally true it’s Trump, the GOP, billionaires, Putin, Netanyahu, Jerry Jones, etc that are all consuming human babies in order to stay young forever and doing the bidding of Peter Theil because he’s the one that figured it out and… wait, goddamn it! That’s the belief system of the Super Adventure Club in the South Park episodes mocking Scientology after Issac Hates left for the previous episodes mocking Scientology.
Epstein's Law: every accusation from a Conservative [of being guilty of a thing] is a confession [of being guilty of the thing]
Thanks, Ima start citing it now and hopefully it catches on.
I’m doing it to, it’s gonna be a thing!
Oh there's definitely at least one blood boy being used in that White House.
My money is it being Baron. Have we seen the giant recently?

The White House says it’s from shaking so many hands.
Ah yes shaking hands with only the... Back... of the hand. And at the exact place an IV would be located on the back of the hand.
Dare you question the Bullshit Barbie of the great and powerful Oz?!?!

I’m no makeup artist but this seems like it wants to be seen and talked about. I feel they could have made it less obvious if they wanted.
As we see from his face, he only applies it to himself and he's not good at it. He won't let anyone else do the job
I’m a woman and years ago some makeup artist had recommended a foundation shade that was a bit too light but I didn’t notice.
So one day wearing it, I walked into Sephora and this guy working there looked at me in horror and went “Oh honey…your face is a different shade from the rest of your body…”
I saw it then and changed things up. But seeing the picture in the article that’s immediately what I thought back to… “Oh honey…”
Was this in NYC by any chance?
Soooo, the Epstein file "dump" is actually an interview with Maxwell, and she was given (bribed with) partial release from prison for it. I knew they were going to distract us with something, but them knowing that we want him to naturally die wasn't on my bingo card.
I agree. He’s covering an IV bruise.
But where them Epstein files at?
It's under the makeup
This story encapsulates the Trump administration - more concerned with appearances than substance.

You’d think with those fuckloads of money he could afford an actual makeup artist. Then again, that would require paying someone to do their job.
You don’t understand. He never lets them do his makeup (at least not in the first (and jesus bonghitting christ should have been last) term). It’s a thing of his. Like fearing stairs or being poisoned.

Let’s get to the second act of the stupid circus.
He looks even shittier than usual. It's impressive, in a gawky sort of way.
