You know those people you meet who lie about everything, even when telling the truth is no big deal or would actually help them? And they do it so much you just can’t take anything they say seriously because they’re always just so full of shit, even about the most mundane things?
True, but they should still do it. It should just be an endless parade of journalists going in and getting kicked out for asking tough questions. That in itself would be news. "Why are you kicking so many journalists out of press briefings for asking follow-up questions?"
Probably why they put people in the press pool like Tim Pool and Laura “Big Lips” Loomer and exclude real reporters. Also, asking one “impertinent” question will get both the reporter and their employer excluded from future press events, so it’s a balancing act.
Sure, I would totally be down for that line of thought, but you also have to look at who the remaining members are employed by and how they probably have a weigh feeding their families or not. Again, not excusing the behavior, but you also have to survive.
I love how this guy has to preface with, I'm a doctor, like we don't already know that the president has a ton of medical issues just because he's lying through his teeth about everything's fine just like everything else he lies about everything's fine two weeks it's not a problem..
No! It's that he only does manly handshakes, very firm. The firmest.
When he talks about the firmest handshakes, he's certainly not talking about those weak, sad, liberal handshakes you see everywhere... those are a disaster, frankly! They come in with a wet noodle, no strength, no conviction, and that tells you everything you need to know about their policies and their ideas: totally lacking in power!
His handshakes, the best handshakes, are strong, decisive, and frankly, a little aggressive—they show the world we are here to win, we are not messing around, and we absolutely will not tolerate anything that isn't absolutely tremendous!
Isn’t the current thinking that he’s getting an anti-Alzheimer’s med as an IV? That explains the bruising on the back of the hand, the cognitive tests he constantly brags about “acing” and the multiple MRIs he’s been getting “preventatively.”
Edit: The drug that has been posited by some clinicians on Reddit as being the most consistent with the known side effects and reported tests is Lecanemab.
I work in consulting and they're in the peak season. I'm traveling 8 weeks back to back non-stop meeting people, clients, everywhere, blah, blah blah. I might shake around 40 to 50 hands daily minimum when you're on site with one the major players. From the first time you meet to when you take him to happy hour and you take him to dinner, you always greet them with a handshake, the whole group.
I just want to know who in their right mind Thought that this would be the best lie to tell? Like if you're going to lie, at least come up with something 50 to 60% believable.
She is absolutely soulless. She lies with ease and conviction that is simply stunning. Married to somebody over twice her age. Had her entire face butchered to be in with the Mara Lago crowd. She is a disgrace to this country.
See, people are assuming she means he shakes hands with normal people..... but people just don't understand the damage to the back of the hands when you shake hands with the devil every day. Imagine this but with much smaller hands. He's a frail old fraud and I bet that skin tears easily just being grazed by those nails.
I saw something thr other day that said it was likely due to iv injections of some medication for strokes. Kirv or something like that idk.
But it said that when he went missing for those few days he had a stroke and went to get medical treatment and is now having to get this medication through iv a lot and it would cause the bruising and such in the back of the hand. And something about the mri he had was specific to it too.
Imagine being a blue collar guy knowing your president has such soft golden hands that merely shaking them requires medical work. Blue collar America, what happened to hating on ceos and NY businessmen??
If the reporter didn't respond with "that's not remotely true and if the president is so physically weak that a few handshakes need medical attention then he should be removed from office" then they're not doing their job.
Person with a bleeding disorder and a hatred for Trump here. If you have a disorder that causes you to bleed easily or longer than normal you absolutely can get bruises like that through normal contact. Especially shaking hands with those tech bro alpha dog a-holes. And when you’re as old as dirt bruises take a long time to heal.
Do I think that is what’s happening here? Not really, but it’s possible.
I’m on Plavix, and I get bruises on my hands and forearms - but then, I have two rambunctious golden retrievers who like to play with their teeth. Cheeto Jesus never had a dog (clearly), and my bruises are never big enough to require two big bandaids to cover them.
Now if he’s on Wafarin or Xeralto, maybe. They cause even more bleeding.
Trump’s Dorian Gray Image has been slowly burning for years…it is close to burning up in flames…so full of wickedness and decay…Hell fires are smoldering inside that creature’s frame…
Every hand he shakes has had a picnic attachment in it, maybe it’s a rash. They don’t look like they have “employees must wash their hands” signs in the urinals. Some of them might have dust mites
This MFer running around shaking hands with The Hulk or something? The amount of force and volume of it required to fuck up his (granted, tiny) hands that much would be insane.
That should be the news story: why all the people Trump is shaking hands with are such aggressive assholes? It’s an epidemic of death-grip handshakers sweeping the US!
Remember when Trump was doing that stupid power move of grabbing people's hands and yanking them towards him while shaking their hands during his first term? Maybe everyone got so sick of that stupid shit that they squeeze the fuck out of his tiny baby hands now when he tries that bullshit.
You know those people you meet who lie about everything, even when telling the truth is no big deal or would actually help them? And they do it so much you just can’t take anything they say seriously because they’re always just so full of shit, even about the most mundane things?
That’s this entire fucking administration
Absolute cowards in the press pool though, no?
Very little pushback on what are clearly lies lol literally every day. They just accept the answer and move on.
The ones that would push back have mostly been removed from the pool, haven’t they?
True, but they should still do it. It should just be an endless parade of journalists going in and getting kicked out for asking tough questions. That in itself would be news. "Why are you kicking so many journalists out of press briefings for asking follow-up questions?"

Our media generally worthless. Do not trust them and question everything you see or read.
They literally cleansed the press pool the other week and filled it with MAGA sycophants and podcasters. This woman is one of them.

Exactly. People on twitter saying "doctor here" or "engineer here" or "professor in education here" are not needed
They are talking so we know they are lying. The specifics of the lie are just academic.
I mean the president of Finland shakes over 1000 hands during one day (independence day) and I've not seen sny bandages on their hand.
Yeah but nobody wants to put a death grip on the president of Finland's hands

Donnie’s birthday!
"He sneezed."
But does the president of Finland have tiny baby hands that have never seen a day of real work in their lives?
Lil Vienna sausage piglet fingers
I love how this guy has to preface with, I'm a doctor, like we don't already know that the president has a ton of medical issues just because he's lying through his teeth about everything's fine just like everything else he lies about everything's fine two weeks it's not a problem..
He’s a tougher individual.
Trump is filled w fried foods which makes him squishy. So when he shakes hands, after like the seventh or with he starts to break down.
We all know the administration is full of baloney so it’s now entertaining to see what lie they dream up next.
So their explanation is that the president is so weak that shaking hands is harming him?
No! It's that he only does manly handshakes, very firm. The firmest.
When he talks about the firmest handshakes, he's certainly not talking about those weak, sad, liberal handshakes you see everywhere... those are a disaster, frankly! They come in with a wet noodle, no strength, no conviction, and that tells you everything you need to know about their policies and their ideas: totally lacking in power!
His handshakes, the best handshakes, are strong, decisive, and frankly, a little aggressive—they show the world we are here to win, we are not messing around, and we absolutely will not tolerate anything that isn't absolutely tremendous!
That's why he has bandaids on his hands!
I thought he was a germaphobe that never shakes hands with the peasants.
Isn’t the current thinking that he’s getting an anti-Alzheimer’s med as an IV? That explains the bruising on the back of the hand, the cognitive tests he constantly brags about “acing” and the multiple MRIs he’s been getting “preventatively.”
Edit: The drug that has been posited by some clinicians on Reddit as being the most consistent with the known side effects and reported tests is Lecanemab.
That’s exactly what I think it is
Why has no reporter asked "are you stupid?"
Because that's a perfect way to get your news agency black balled from ever being allowed in a WH press conference until 2029.
They run on fear.
Because that's Donnie's line.

i hope these liars are held accountable someday...
Cardboard is abrasive to human skin.
After moving boxes at UPS for 3 years I managed to lose my finger prints.
Never needed a bandage.
But be that perfect health skin, falling apart because it so perfect.
What’s in the box?
Did your fingerprints grow back?
Yes.
"We've given you an explanation." Not even pretending it's the truth
You gonna believe medical science or the Official Presidential SpokesLiar?
She is absolutely soulless. She lies with ease and conviction that is simply stunning. Married to somebody over twice her age. Had her entire face butchered to be in with the Mara Lago crowd. She is a disgrace to this country.
"Karoline Leavitt says that President Trump is so fragile, shaking hands injures him."
The presidents hands are babanas, stop shaking them
They really think we’re a bunch of stupid amoebas
Pretty sure that's one of the official definitions of "MAGA"...
Well, in all fairness, the skin of a rotten demented semicorpse like TACO might be more sensitive than that of real humans
Ivs right? Im guessing hes hooked up to sometging 100 percent of the time hes not in the public eye.
They stole that excuse from a West Wing episode
Best explanation I've heard is a medicine for Alzheimer's. It has to be infused (hello bruises), and requires regular MRIs.
See, people are assuming she means he shakes hands with normal people..... but people just don't understand the damage to the back of the hands when you shake hands with the devil every day. Imagine this but with much smaller hands. He's a frail old fraud and I bet that skin tears easily just being grazed by those nails.
Way to go Representative Morrison with the 1-2 punch, I mean hand shake.
He just didn’t want people to see the stamp he got from Epstein’s Island. He’s still going there.
How about just telling the truth for once?
Does anyone seriously not think it's from an IV?
Surely its nothing more than the mark of the beast...
Don’t they ever get tired of their raging mendacity?
Unless him and JD are arm wrestling every day on who gets to be the racist and who gets to be the homophobe its doubtful.
I saw something thr other day that said it was likely due to iv injections of some medication for strokes. Kirv or something like that idk.
But it said that when he went missing for those few days he had a stroke and went to get medical treatment and is now having to get this medication through iv a lot and it would cause the bruising and such in the back of the hand. And something about the mri he had was specific to it too.

The people shaking his hand need to wear thick gloves and still get a Silkwood scrub down afterwards.
If the reporter didn't respond with "that's not remotely true and if the president is so physically weak that a few handshakes need medical attention then he should be removed from office" then they're not doing their job.
Liars. Absolutely liars.
Anyone with a 5th grade education can see we are being lied to. Wake up America.
Well there's your problem right there. Over half of Americans can't read at a 6th grade level.
I love how his hand bruise is taking longer to heal than his ear that was shot with a 5.56 round…

You wouldn't lie to the American people, would you?
If this is remotely true, it's most likely because his handshakes are a tool for intimidation. Squeezing and jerking.
The double air hand jobs are really taking its toll.
Trump’s Dorian Gray Image has been slowly burning for years…it is close to burning up in flames…so full of wickedness and decay…Hell fires are smoldering inside that creature’s frame…

“I wish these idiots would take my lies at face value the first time I tell them!”
“He’s shaken more hands than any other hands”
His skin fails when it’s touched by other skin?
So she’s confirming his frailty. K.
Has everyone forgotten that Trump doesn't shake hands with anyone because he's a huge germaphobe?
So you are saying he is LITERALLY so thin skinned that shaking hands hurts him...
Noted...
This MFer running around shaking hands with The Hulk or something? The amount of force and volume of it required to fuck up his (granted, tiny) hands that much would be insane.
That should be the news story: why all the people Trump is shaking hands with are such aggressive assholes? It’s an epidemic of death-grip handshakers sweeping the US!
But hang on...wasn't Sleepy Joe Biden a weak, weak, weakling loser? Why didn't he need bandages when he shook hands with people?
Something's not adding up here... 🤔
...or did she mean his hands are constantly shaking?
They are giving the lies away at every turn, then they sit back and laugh because no one calls them on it.
It's so fucking obvious!
"We've given an explanation" "It's not the truth, but it IS an explanation. Next question please. "
Every other president shakes lots of people’s hands. Literally no one else has ever gotten bruised from this.
Maybe his dementia is making him think that, but everyone knows it’s bullshit.
They will take any opportunity to make you a lie whether it’s necessary or not.
These are some dead eyes
I didn't need a doctor to tell me this was complete bullshit
Remember when Trump was doing that stupid power move of grabbing people's hands and yanking them towards him while shaking their hands during his first term? Maybe everyone got so sick of that stupid shit that they squeeze the fuck out of his tiny baby hands now when he tries that bullshit.
