What happened to trump's hand?

I just read a news feed from
>>>Vanity Fair <<<
about trump “going off the rails” on day 30 of the shut down when I noticed something weird with his
right hand.
Now, this was besides the fact that his hands and face do not match. There seems to be some sort of injury on his upper right palm just under the first joint of the index finger. The skin looks like it has been stitched together and badly.
I remember kinda recently that the press mentioned a bandage on one of his hands but I don’t remember which hand it was on and it was described as a “scratch”.
If you expand the photo on the above story it is pretty easy to see. My question is - what happened?
I would post the photo but I can’t save it. Check it out.

I only know that there are bots on twitter trying to get people to talk about his hand... who knows, could have been anything. I’m more concerned about what he’s doing to the country!!

Are you calling me a bot from twitter ????
Maybe he put it through some glass. Maybe they got someone who very unprofessionally repaired it. I’m mostly wondering if anyone else noticed it.

No I’m NOT calling you a bot from twitter.
I just think you and I both should go slow on this one... feels to me like a BS distraction the right is trying to gin up.


Remember during the Kavanaugh hearings when the right got a Mexican-heritage conservative woman to sit behind Kavanaugh and flash the white power sign? That distracted us from Kavanaugh’s words. And it was effective; we should have focused on Kavanaugh and ignored the woman. Back then twitter bots were hitting the white-power sign too.

Just wanted to give you a heads up.

Yes I noticed it too... looked into it a bit myself. After spending time on it I started to wonder if it was the right trying to snooker us. Unless some enterprising journalist pulls out more facts I don’t think we’ll know.

as he's so distracted by whatever's on "Fox and Friends" that he forgets to stop chomping down....

There's no link in your post. A couple of days ago, he had a bandage on the back of one hand that in all likelihood was a phlebotomy draw.

But, seriously, who cares.

It was on Vanity Fair. I had just been reading The Atlantic so that was on my mind.

The article was Trump goes off the rails on day 30 if you google that

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vanityfair.com/news/2019/01/trump-goes-off-the-rails-on-30th-day-of-shutdown/amp

There it is 😃

RIGHT CLICK.

CHOOSE "COPY IMAGE ADDRESS" (or similar)

PASTE.




The native URL will cause an issue because there is a comma in it.

Replace the comma with its HTML code: %44

He's got nasty skin on his hands, and a deep fold next to a pad on that hand.

There was thread last week about a bandage on the front of his vulgarian hand where veins are commonly used for a blood draw.
