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.

There's not a god, because he's lived this long. But I pray to god he dies soon, ideally while I'm typing this.

[–] Ironfist79@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

If only prayer worked.

“Fears”????? What an odd way to spell “Hopes”. Also, Release the Epstein files.

[–] kaklerbitmap@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Completely unrelated, but what are your favorite jumping spiders?

[–] Jumpingspiderman@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Portia are up there. And there are a couple large Phiddipus species with red butts that my grad school Buds used to keep as pets. They were Mutellid mimics and were very entertaining critters

[–] kaklerbitmap@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

Ha yeah Portia are awesome! And as far as the Phids do you mean P. johnsoni? I love them too! I currently have a mated pair in my spood collection, hoping for an eggsac..

Oh wow, he's got a new emotional support hat

It's a shame it's not likely to be gangrene.

[–] crystalmerchant@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

The dude is 80, of course he's got health issues. It'd be weird if he didn't

Term limits and age limits

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (2 children)

He's lived a long time for somebody without a heart.

[–] some_kind_of_guy@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What does he have instead, some kind of grease trap?

[–] k0e3@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago

That's because he's the EpsTin List Man.

Health fears?

Who fears for his health?

The fears are that he remains healthy enough to continue to do more damage.

[–] TwinTitans@lemmy.world 194 points 2 days ago (5 children)

Fears is a funny way to describe it.

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 85 points 2 days ago

i fear it isn't serious

[–] IrateAnteater@sh.itjust.works 51 points 2 days ago (7 children)

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.

[–] Octavio@lemmy.world 58 points 2 days ago (6 children)

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.

Vance is pretty unpopular even with the Nazi base. Without the Führer, the whole movement will fizzle out.

Yes, I fear that at this pace it'll take a while. :(

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Lmao "fears" isn't quite the right word for this one.

The only way health fears and Taco should be in the same sentence is the fear related to health when it comes to conservative policies like: cutting Medicaid, cutting medical research, increased pollution, etc...I don't have any fear at all when it comes to Taco's personal health issues.

Donald Trump health fears erupt yet again over the disappeance of strange spot on hand.

[–] Xatolos@reddthat.com 6 points 1 day ago

He didn't cut the White House / Presidential medical insurance though.

Release the Trumpstein files.

[–] rbos@lemmy.ca 28 points 2 days ago (6 children)

I wouldn't say 'fears' exactly

Do people outside the UK know just how bad The Express is? It's a bottom-tier reactionary tabloid. Don't give them clicks.

Again, I don’t think “fears” is the correct noun here.

I can't believe Vance looks like an improvement. The bar is so low now we'll have to start drilling to find it.

Don't do that. Don't give me hope

[–] lemmy_outta_here@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago (4 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.

lol fears. Hopes more like

This dumbass has never heard of gloves, I guess. It's a nice thing to see his body is matching his cognitive decline, though!

By the way, he should release the Epstein Files.

[–] bizzle@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago

Please die you miserable orange baby raping loser
