Donald Trump's Health

It's not a Tic-tac. It's not an Ice Breaker. It's not a Life Saver. It's not an Altoid. It's not an Eclipse.

That's my stash exhausted...

If it's not a tic-tac or a balloon I have no idea what it is.

Looks like we're in for another around of speculation:

A Reddit comment said, "It's at half mast out of respect"

In all seriousness, there was an interesting discussion about this because of the video posted by the White House of Trump commenting on Kirk's death... that it's either all AI or heavily edited by AI:

Do we really need to report on every unusual physical characteristic Trump displays? Or report on the media's mentions? I don't see the point .

Personally, I have nothing better to do.
Jdog beat me to it.

I don't think forum members need to be making medical assessments, but since this thread exists I think it's worth being aware of what's making the rounds. Though I can see this running afoul of the one-claim-per-thread rule and the thread being closed.

it's a "current events" thread, not a strict debunking thread

Mick set the topic himself:

So what's going on? An average-health old man and lots of speculation, or a dangerously sick old man and a cover-up? I'm not seeing any good evidence of the latter.

so the "face-drooping" image and attendant speculation is on topic

the thread could still be closed, ofc

During a Medal of Honor at the White House on Monday, March 2, photos showed what appeared to be a large red rash and scabs on the right side of Trump's neck. The rash spread from behind his ear to the back of his hairline.

White House physician Dr. Sean Barbabella excused the irritation in a statement shared with PEOPLE, saying, "President Trump is using a very common cream on the right side of his neck, which is a preventative skin treatment, prescribed by the White House Doctor."

"The president is using this treatment for one week, and the redness is expected to last for a few weeks," Barbabella added. He did not elaborate on why the cream was prescribed.

wow that might be the best pic of his ear wound i ever saw.

surprised it took people so long to see the rash.. he had it at the SOTU speech too. You'd think if it was irritating him he'd loosen his shirt collars up a bit.
