Speculation Surrounds Red Marks on Trump's Hand

Theories Range from Golf Blisters to Syphilis, Campaign Sources Cite Paper Cut

  • Former President Donald Trump's recent public appearances have sparked speculation due to visible red marks on his hand. Theories range from a rash, dry skin, blisters from golfing, to a paper cut.
  • Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones suggested the marks could be from playing golf, a sport Trump is known to enjoy. Dermatologists consulted by Business Insider suggested the marks could be due to dry skin, blisters from golfing, exposure to lime juice, or a variety of other factors causing rashes.
  • James Carville, a Democratic political consultant, suggested the marks could be sores indicative of secondary syphilis, a claim that has been widely circulated but lacks substantiated evidence.
  • Sources tied to the Trump campaign told TMZ that the marks were due to a paper cut and that Trump had accidentally spread the blood around his hand.
  • Despite the speculation and theories, there is currently no concrete evidence to support any particular explanation for the red marks on Trump's hand.
