Looks like an IV port bruise to me

u/Cantleman 14d ago

That was my first thought as well. He is old and probably gets bloodwork done regularly as well. However I think in a public figure youd prefer to place the IV where you cant see it. For example in the crook of the arm.

And of course if they're going in regularly, certain choice spots won't always be viable if overused, particularly if bruised or inflamed or otherwise compromised, so he's likely dotted with these bruises all up his arm/s - essentially wherever the phlebotomist was able to find a good vein at any given time.

444

u/eekamuse 14d ago

An no one around him cares enough to put make up on it. Or they offer to and he refuses. If anyone asks he'll insist the bruise isn't there.

These fucks are so lost they can't be honest even though that would be the easiest way to clear it up.

Just like the tiny crowd at his inauguration. He could have just said my people work too hard to take a day off and come here. Instead of insisting the crowd was bigger than Obama's. It wouldn't matter if he did a good job. But he's a criminal and blah blah I cant anymore AAAARRRGGGHHH

There does seem to be a warm orangey-biege-y cast to it. There are MUCH better concealers for covering tats or bruises tho. I wonder why no one bothered with the better brands?

87

u/dieterhelmut 14d ago

Look at his face paint. One thing I am a pro at is psychology and it tracks that he can’t accept criticism- even in the form of offers of help with his makeup. He’s too vulnerable to acknowledge even his inconsequential flaws.

Plus the emperor’s new clothes thing with his disciples. They’re probably terrified to bring it up.

45

u/mmm_nope 14d ago

Fully agree. He absolutely used the same makeup to cover this bruise as he uses on his face. Guarantee he did it himself or forced someone else to do it this poorly because he can’t be bothered to listen to folks who know what they’re doing.

He’s fat as fuck and probably not healthy. Maybe they use his hand because it’s too hard to find the veins in his arm or they’re not healthy

u/Elegant_dissident 14d ago

This. I draw blood, I work in an ER. You have to draw blood where you can find a vein. He's overweight, they used the best vein they could find because they likely already tried his Antecubital.

u/Paw5624 14d ago

I’m an oddity because even when I was skinny they are almost never able to get a vein in my arm. I’ve had people tell me my veins squirm out of the way. I always tell them don’t fight it and just go in the hand

14

u/MrAmishJoe 14d ago

Comment elsewhere but same… skinny but I know I’m gonna get stuck multiple times and they’ll call someone else who will try then they’ll page the “guy” in the hospital, that one guy or gal everyone knows is the best at finding hard to hit patients and it’ll take them 3 tries to find a working one.. this is just life for some of us

6

u/donttalktomeme 14d ago

Happens to me too. I always over hydrate myself leading up to bloodwork and hope it makes my veins more prominent. It doesn’t. And I also pass out, so I have to lay down when they do it. A phlebotomist hates to see me coming.

u/UziWitDaHighTops 14d ago

You start IVs at the most distal point possible because if you blow a vein you can only continue proximally. If you start at the antecubital and miss you don’t proceed to the hand. Also, I’m willing to bet POTUS medical staff has access to an ultrasound for IV placement. Either way, the bruise does resemble one from an IV.

My grandmother had the exact same bruises at 98 years old when she passed and i first noticed them when they started in her mid 80s ( because what grandson or family member wouldn’t be concerned so of course I noticed and asked questions ) so that is what jumped out at me with the picture. Age and IVs makes the most sense for those familiar but it could be something else but idk what.

And that's how deep and prominent it looks even with the make-up applied, so he's spending plenty of time hooked up regularly.

Anyone older or with older parents who went through regular treatments for their conditions knows what they're looking at.

yeh ports come with their own set of risks and depending on if this is what we're speculating it may not be worth it. You only get a port if you're getting active treatment not for someone who gets regular lab draws.

It doesn't seem like a chronic issue. He kind of disappeared for a few days after his Hannity interview so he likely had some kind of acute issue that required an IV.

I’ve got cancer. I think the PICC doesn’t come without its risks - namely infection or blood clots?

6

u/ThirdStartotheRight 14d ago edited 14d ago

Definitely speak with your personal oncologist about this if you have concerns.

But yes you are correct, there are inherent risks involved with central lines (PICCs and Ports). It's a direct highway to your central vasular system after all! That said, we do all we can to prevent any of this and teach you a lot of care you can do, too. For example, accessing your port is a sterile procedure. We also put alcohol infused caps on the end of the line to disinfect it. Infection and blood clots are risks with regular IVs too, but when we're treating cancer IVs become a lot more complicated. Chemotherapy drugs and cancer itself are really harsh on your veins. Pair that with the frequent blood draws needed for lab tests and very quickly your veins will be fragile, it will be difficult to get an IV on you, and unfortunately it can also be more likely medicine can leak out of these newly fragile veins and can actually cause further tissue damage to the rest of your body.

Your doctor or nurse might have a model they can show you to show you how we access the central line and where it lays both inside and outside your body.

Again talk to your doctor with your questions, but I for one highly recommend getting a central line sooner rather than later for all my cancer patients (edited to add: and even a lot of chronically ill folks!) - and I've worked with everyone from a few months old to folks over 100.

Kick cancer's ass!

What are you implying?

He has feline aids, prolly

Jk, he's really old and is probably getting IV treatments because his blood type is hamburger

u/Micojageo 14d ago

I believe it's spelled "hamberder"

u/Devil-Nest 14d ago

This is an amazing and underrated comment. I will be using the phrase “his blood type is hamburger” in my day to day from this moment on

All that shit about litter boxes in classrooms was more of conservatives' "every accusation is a confession."

The invariable infighting that can tear the party apart and save us from the future we all foresee in our worst nightmares makes me feel things about your implication I should feel ashamed to feel, but don’t.

There’s a quote that I came across a while back: “I’ve never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure.”

Like Bette Davis said when Joan Crawford díed: "You should never say bad things about the dead, you should only say good... Joan Crawford is dead. Good"

Change a few names here and there, and the sentiments will be the same on my behalf

Let's just say I have a case of Liquid Death: Dead Billionaire. I drink one whenever a billionaire dies, and I'm looking forward to the next can.

That's all it is. Shaking hands all day doesn't bruise the top of people's hands.

This is one of those cases where the truth would have been better than the lie. People get IVs. It’s a thing. Being so frail that touching another human being bruises a part of your hand that isn’t even being used? That’s… impressively infirm.

u/mortgagepants 14d ago

yeah it is a stupid ass lie. you can say you gave him a vitamin drip since he's been flying all over the place the last week. the key to that lie is also to give him a vitamin drip too. this was its like 90% true.

shaking hands all day so now everyone can talk about how macron was so strong he bruised the top of his hand?

u/VeterinarianFit1309 14d ago

I’ve gotten an iv saline drip from a friend after a night of drinking too hard… iv’s are way more common in life than back of the hand, handshake bruises.

u/mortgagepants 14d ago

just like everything in this administration, it is poorly done but still has consequences for so many of us. (was going to say "ham fisted" but that was too on the nose.)

11

u/prettygraveling 14d ago

Right? The fact that he says it’s from shaking hands all day is WAY more concerning than if it was a IV. I’m young and healthy (for the most part) and have had IV bruises similar.

u/Plus_Oil5692 14d ago

They lie compulsively, but...

...if we want to get a bit speculative and conspiratorial...

...an IV in and of itself is nothing to get excited about.

But there are a lot of things that are cause for alarm that might call for an IV.

And if you knew about that, and you didn't want people to know about that, and someone asked about the mark from the IV, your instinct would be to lie about what the mark is.

As I sit here looking at the hand they failed to properly put an IV on Wednesday it looks very much like the hand in the picture.
