I'll float some possible ideas:

I'm totally strong enough to unstick my wet hand from this freezing metal railing (noone had warm water but rumour has it there's another tape he doesn't want coming out now)
If I wear gloves I'll appear weak. Suffers frostbite. Has no idea because he has peripheral neuropathy from dementia from the sugar diabetes.
Real theory? He heard Hitler and the boys didn't bother with British Sudafed. They went all in on crystal meth. They say fascism burns itself out but a little amphetamine really keeps the magic alive. Yes, Trump spent a lot of time scratching one hand with the other over and over. A lifetime of narcissism keeps him from scratching his face, but for how long!

Frostbite doesn't look like that, generally. it starts as a general redness in the skin, by the time it's causing wheals or lesions or whatever, they're basically all over (especially fingertips and knuckles.) Also:

I'm not a doctor, I was just goofing around.

Fingernail cuts from clenching his fists too tightly in the courtroom. ;)

Plausible

[-] ivanafterall@kbin.social 2 points 5 months ago

Good guess.

[-] Jaysyn@kbin.social 23 points 5 months ago

Trump has secondary syphilis, pass it on.

[-] Municipal0379@lemmy.world 24 points 5 months ago

Many people are saying.

[-] MagicShel@programming.dev 14 points 5 months ago

I've seen it confirmed by two reliable sources right here.

[-] Municipal0379@lemmy.world 14 points 5 months ago

BIG IF TRUE!! lol

[-] Nusm@lemmy.zip 7 points 5 months ago

A man came up to him, a Marine, with tears in his eyes, who said, “Sir, I’ve never cried in my whole life until now, but I’ve never seen anyone with such good syphilis as you. You’re an inspiration to everyone I know to get syphilis. Thank you.”

[-] ivanafterall@kbin.social 16 points 5 months ago

Trump would never settle for secondary syphilis. He has only the best and strongest syphilis, folks. You wouldn't believe how contagious this stuff is. It's unbelievable.

[-] ech@lemm.ee 14 points 5 months ago

syphilis

pass it on

Please don't.

[-] gnate@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

I'll see your secondary, and raise it to tertiary.

[-] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

You know... in the past, big ridiculous wigs were used by people suffering from syphilis. Does anyone know if trump has a ridiculous wig?

[-] Whirlgirl9@kbin.social 18 points 5 months ago

Blisters and peeling skin are signs of Adderall abuse...

[-] ThanksObama@sh.itjust.works 15 points 5 months ago

It's just ketchup leftover from throwing his plate of fries on the floor to spite the judge.

[-] HWK_290@lemmy.world 15 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Doesn't seem like a big deal.. Just like his hands. Heyohhhh

Or maybe he was eating cherry pudding.. DeSantis style.

[-] Paragone@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago

Did he sign any agreement .. in his blood .. recently?

I'm not being sarcastic.

Sometimes people DO reach-out for demon-help, for demon power...

Depends on the person, right?

and how desparate they are, for associating with power over others...

"be careful what you ask for: you may be granted it."

Would be pretty neat if it worked that way. I can do an eternity in hell if I can give every billionaire on earth an aneurism right now

Bless your heart! <3

The Hero we need.

[-] WhimsicalSofa@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 5 months ago

If you’re not joking, you’re delusional.

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

No demon would make that deal. If hell is real, he's already got an express ticket.

[-] PugJesus@kbin.social 8 points 5 months ago

As amusing as it would be if it's true, gonna have to put me down as a 'doubt' unless more solid evidence comes out.

[-] Yewb@kbin.social 8 points 5 months ago

Dude thats not a cut it looks like a case of the hand herpies.

[-] iamjackflack@lemm.ee 7 points 5 months ago

I hate the guy like everyone else but really? Looks like red sharpie…

[-] TheJims@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Is he a first grader? Was he eating paste in the court too? Maybe they should take away the sharp scissors before he hurts himself.

[-] iamjackflack@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago

Not going to argue that the guy is a fucking retard. My point was simply news sources are getting ridiculous and overblown.

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

No, I'm pretty sure most first graders behave much better.

[-] flipht@kbin.social 3 points 5 months ago

It looks like red sharpie from the thumbnail, but when I looked at the full picture it's pretty clearly red splotches along the side of his index finger too, and that part does not look at all like sharpie.

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

Looks like a paper cut on the inside of the knuckle, and there's a spot of blood where it was touching his palm when he closed his hands.

What a nothingburger. Let me know when he cuts his own throat so I can go piss on his grave.
