Trump's Bandaged Hand Shows Up for Kennedy Center Honors Dinner

https://www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trumps-bandaged-hand-shows-up-for-kennedy-center-honors-dinner/

The president has been sporting bandages on his right hand for several days running.

Trump had gathered the honorees in the Oval Office to present them with medallions ahead of Sunday’s recorded Kennedy Center Honors celebration. Honorees included Gloria Gaynor, KISS and MAGA-supporting actor Sylvester Stallone, whose name Trump flubbed twice.

Trump, 79, introduced Stallone, 79, as “a friend of mine, a wonderful person, a really spectacular person, one of the true great movie stars there are,“ going on to read his name out as “Sylvester ‘Sly’ Sallone.”

When Trump is not using makeup or bandages, substantial bruising can often be seen on his right hand, something the White House has blamed on the president’s use of aspirin and the number of handshakes he has to make every day.

He's a fucking sheriff, not a king. I'm sure it was deliberate.

I liked the first season of Tulsa Kings. I will never watch again. There is ZERO excuse to continue to enable TSF.

And everyone representing the administration should be asked. Point blank. It should be the first question everyone gets asked. The second question should be should a sitting president who has received such a diagnosis resign or be removed under the 25th amendment.

Let's start getting people on the record. I think this could be the biggest cover up of this administration, bigger than Epstein.
