Donald Trump is never far away from the headlines, but of all the reasons
for him to be the talk of the town,his hands appearing bloodied or –
according to some – covered by sores, is well outside the realms of normality.
Yet that’s precisely what drew the attention of those gathered outside his
New York home yesterday (January, 17) as the former president left to head to court.
Close-up snaps of the man aiming to become two-time POTUS revealed a number
of strange red marks on his hands, and the internet was quick to notice when the pics ultimately ended up online.
At least three red marks were visible on Trump’s thumb, palm, and finger, with any number of rumors now circulating as to what they could possibly be.
James Carville, a former advisor to Bill Clinton, sensationally claimed that the marks
could indicate that Trump has syphilis. Speaking on Politicon, Carville’s unverified
claim played largely upon the fact that syphilis (an STI) is most commonly characterized by the presence of sores.
“They don’t look like cuts to me,” 79-year-old Carville said.
