Hope he's suffering from that ❤️
If we're lucky, we might start 2026 with a state funeral~

I've lost track of the Trump period calendar going into the holidays, but my bet remains:

In the open-label trial of subcutaneous Leqembi, 8% of patients experienced reactions at the injection site, and most side effects were mild or moderate, according to Eisai.
People who take Leqembi and Kisunla are required to get an MRI brain scan once a quarter to check for signs of brain damage, such as swelling and bleeding. Such amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA) can occur when someone uses a drug designed to clear amyloid. Most ARIA are asymptomatic or cause mild symptoms, but some ARIA require hospitalization and special treatment.
Eisai reported that people who received subcutaneous injections had slightly higher rates of ARIA than those who got an IV infusion, but the sample size of the injection group was small enough that an exact comparison can’t be made.
Trumps' been on this 28 day schedule of being very peppy, then dragging ass, then being practically dead, then getting his pep back. It lines up with the visual symptoms we see with his hands. He's also on his like, 3rd or 4th "annual"* MRI for the year.
*there is no annual MRI
This person is not fit and should be in a home.
if by home you mean prison
I specialize in orthopedics and rehabilitation, so this isn't exactly my expertise. However, a lot of my patients are geriatrics and a lot of geriatric patients have hand bruising, especially if they are on a blood thinner like warfarin.
Imo when Trump has his meeting with Putin in Alaska when his entire team panicked, I think he had a bit of a stroke. Strokes are pretty common after long plane rides, especially when you are 80 and your diet is mainly fast foods filled with trans and saturated fats.
We already know he's probably got something like PVD due to his peripheral edema, so a stroke or other cardiovascular events aren't really surprising. I just think he's on warfarin or some other thinner that causes peripheral bruising.
I personally doubt this is from an IV, as the hand isn't the only place you can place those. If he was trying to obscure his treatment they would just place the IV in his forearm.
The hand or the arm are specifically cited as where to place the IV for this class of drugs (at least in the material I've been able to read). It also explains the 3 month cycle (ish) of MRI's, which is called for because this class of drugs increases potential for brain damage (hence the MRI's).

I mean that's most IV drugs as it's the least invasive place to do it. However, for someone trying to obscure their health problems an IV in the hand is crazy.

Same for something like a stroke, or even a slip and fall tbi.
The point is that there are plenty of reasons for an elderly person to have bruising on their hands, but experimental Alzheimer's treatment is a bit far-fetched.
Sure. Its just where I see the body of evidence lining up. Not with tbi or stroke, but with an Alzheimer's diagnosis coupled with the "the very best" treatment medical science has to offer. TBI and stroke are just as speculative but don't explain other aspects of what we see (the very clear cycle of pep and pause). Which is why I'm "betting" that its an Alzheimer's diagnosis. Its a longer shot (maybe), but because its a longer shot the payoff for being right is higher.
I'm 70, in great health, I exercise regularly and have a healthy diet. Even with all that, when I had surgery recently that required general anesthetic, I came home with a massive hematoma on the back of my hand as a souvenir of a less-than-optimally-placed IV cannula.
The White House previously said that Trump's hand looked that way because he shook so many hands. So, how can they explain it on his left hand? Did he get it from jerking off two horses at once or something?
If Jack helped you off a horse, would you help Jack off a horse?
Don't be ridiculous. He doesn't jerk horses off. He doesn't do anything for anyone else.
How? There's only one "Bubba".
Some people speculate is dementia drug infusions.
I did work for about a year doing pharm research for Alzheimer's. Most of those drugs are infusions.
However. None of them stop or reverse loss.
They just slow it down And they aren't even that effective. Honestly the data I saw.... My opinion was. :
-Desperate people are going to pay this $1200 a month infusion cost for literally no benefit and extra risks.
Based on the documents I read, for one of the drugs we were testing (I forget the drug but I recall it's already used to treat ALS)-
The dosage needed to cause a change in Alzheimer's would have a serious health risk of brain bleeding.
The dose we were using was like 1/3 of the expected effectiveness dosage.
I thought this was kind of unethical because people signed up to be in the study with the hope of a medicine that would help them. And that's how it was presented to them.
However. The study was really just trying to see how much brain bleeding occured at 1/3 dose.
With zero expectations for actual effectiveness on slowing down the progress.
I did not like the ethical issues with this line of work.
Anywho I have gotten on a tangent.
The other thing I wanted to say is , if these drugs are to have any effects in slowing (but none stop or reverse , just to be 100% clear on this), then the person MUST start them with early symptoms. What is called "mild cognitive impairment".
They do nothing if symptoms are already noticeable.
And most people don't realize they have dementia until it's already moderate because they mask their symptoms. Or their symptoms are often excused because "pops/Mom is getting old and that's normal".
Its progressive.
Slow at first. And most don't notice until it's gotten pretty bad.
Trump almost certainly has fronto temporal dementia.
I'm not the only neuroscientist to say so.
I'm not clinical but I did work with dementia patients. Plus many clinicians are saying the same.
He's got classic text ook symptoms.
People excuse his word salad because it slowly got worse.
But read out loud anything he writes or says.
It's nonsense. That's not normal. Read this and it's a good example of Trump's speech patterns.

-In a more extreme version of logorrhea aphasia, a clinician asked a male patient, also with Wernicke's aphasia, what brought him to the hospital. The patient responded:
-Is this some of the work that we work as we did before? ... All right ... From when wine [why] I'm here. What's wrong with me because I ... was myself until the taenz took something about the time between me and my regular time in that time and they took the time in that time here and that's when the time took around here and saw me around in it's started with me no time and I bekan [began] work of nothing else that's the way the doctor find me that way ...[5]

is bro an autocomplete
Then you also know he could go another 10 years like this. I'm not optimistic about an election; I think he's in power until he whiffs his last Adderall. His handlers have a stake in this. They'll keep him barely ambulatory for as long as they can, because the orders he's signing and the countries he's attacking are all Miller.
its the worst version of Weekend and Bernies ever.
Yeah you can do a weekend at Bernie's for a long time with enough money to hire full time health care.
I mean the guy beat covid. When it killed so many others in better health than he was in. That's money there.
Someone close to me got early-onset frontotemporal dementia. It progressed rapidly, he was dead within six years. The variant he had made him nonverbal rather than getting logorrhea. It's an absolutely hellish condition, possibly even worse than standard Alzheimers. I'd see my friend every couple of months (I live far from where he did) and even in that period, you could see the decline.
With Trump's venous insufficiency, he could also be getting vascular dementia, rather than Alzheimers. But then, it would make less sense that they'd be treating him with an Alzheimers drug.
Regardless of what it is, he deserves to suffer horribly.
gonna be honest, i think the drug accelerates als.
Considering that micro brain bleeds are a common side effect. I don't see how it wouldn't ultimately do more harm than good.
I read all the documentation on that als drug. The people who wrote it said something like the micro brain bleeds were found with mri scans but cognitive testing didn't reveal that they caused any impairment.
I was like. Wtf.
Do these people not know how the brain works?
Damage is damage. Something has been lost. Regardless if a test found whatever that loss was or not.
Only broad extensive testing of multiple cognitive and motor functions could determine if the micro bleeds were or weren't doing harm. And there are complications with doing that much testing. Plus why would they want to uncover support for increased loss. ?
That was my first experience working in pharmaceutical research and it honestly has made me certain I never will work in pharm research again.
I wonder how many desperate people are paying for drugs with minimum therapeutic value and much higher risks than they think.
I feel like Alzheimer's drugs are predatory in nature because we KNOW that you can't reverse the damage. And there is ample evidence that the processes of dementia likely start in the 30s.
If there is any chance of treating/curing it, it's going to be identifying it early and treating it then. Like in the 30s. And there already is research on going in that area.
But greedy companies want to drain gramp's savings before he dies.
And also. The plaque and tau proteins are likely not the cause but a symptom. So drugs that target them are also probably worthless.
There is just so much research on this. It's unbelievable that they are pushing drugs to target the tau and plaque when we know that's not the cause.

weird enough, insurance covered it 100%. like, they covered all his als stuff 100%. i think it had to do something with the war.
I'm glad it was covered for yours. Some insurance is better than others.
thanks! it's a long and complicated story like it always is. Short version, dad was both in the military (which helped with the insurance, since ALS is considered a service related condition) and he was in a major ongoing medical study involving the brain, so i called in every favor i could in the insurance industry and believe me, i worked in medical accounting for a few decades i had a few levers i had been holding onto for emergencies. everything happened fast and smooth. couldn't have gotten better care for him.
I feel like I can actually get a somewhat of a sense of what this person is trying to communicate though. It seems like there's an actual idea underneath all the confusion. With Trump, I'm not so sure that's the case.
It's just severe in Trump. Its progressive. It will continue to get more and more incoherent.
This is why it's obvious that he's far more impaired than what most people are guessing.
When he started confabulating , that was another big red flag. Confabulations are something that only starts at severe damage levels.
The dosage needed to cause a change in Alzheimer's would have a serious health risk of brain bleeding.
Do all of these drugs have this risk? It starts to line up when it was alleged Trump's team freaked out about Trump apparently having a 'mini-stroke' whilst meeting Putin (someone else in this thread), and when Trump was photographed earlier this year with a visible facial droop on his right side...

I do hope it's serious
I'm not "concerned" or "alarmed" that he may be in poor health.
I'm cautiously hopeful that he may be in poor health.
It's really no mystery. It's where he gets the infusions of baby blood to keep him alive.
Good luck, bruise!
My father had those bruises on his hands in the last coupe years of his life. I don't care what caused them. I know what they mean. Can't happen fast enough.
When you're going through regular intravenous treatments, using one arm or another puts stress on the local vascular system, so they switch arms after some time to not cause issues.
This suuurrreee looks like he's been getting intravenous infusions of some sort. Probably not Chemo because they'd install a port to prevent this exact kind of problem.
Probably Leqembi for his Alzheimer's, although I wouldn't be surprised if he's regularly having parts of his blood volume replaced or run through dialysis.
I'm sure you're wrong. He's just switched to shaking with his other hand.
/s
I don't know why people are thinking this is from an infusion. The hand isn't the only place you can place an IV, if they wanted to be discreet they could just as easily place it in the forearm.
To me it looks like the regular peripheral bruising you see with patients on a blood thinner like warfarin. A good chunk of my geriatric patient population has regular bruising just like this on their hands/forearms it's not unusual to see in elderly patients, especially if they like Trump exhibit signs of peripheral vascular disease like edema of the lower limbs.
They wouldn't use the elbow or forearm for specific drugs which may cause pain to prevent vascular bruising and extensive pain reducing range of motion, or if it is something that requires a slow enough drip that you wouldn't want it introduced close to arteries.
Or you know...somebody who might have a less than lucid moment and rip it out.
There's a reason why nurses use that location extensively for infusions.
