In an explosive interview about his medical treatments, Trump also admitted that he applies makeup to his hands, saying that the large daily dose of aspirin he takes to thin his blood causes them to bruise easily.

He visited Walter Reed Hospital in mid-July after suffering “mild swelling in his lower legs,” and an ultrasound showed he has “chronic venous insufficiency,” a common ailment in older people that makes it more difficult for the blood to travel to the heart from the legs through smaller veins.

    You wouldn’t even wonder what happened to make him say it?

    No, I guess. I genuinely want to hear as little as possible about what that tool has to say. It was rather nice for a bit in 2020 where we didn’t get the mass exposure that every shitty soundbite he drops generated.

    Much like his reasonably normal-for-his-age maladies, I just put his flip-flopping down to his age and declining health. It’s not as if he hasn’t changed direction on things before, on tariffs or conflict mediation or other actually important things.

    Roll on 2028, or whenever the next US election is.
