People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

  1. Mark NSFW content.
  2. No doxxing people.
  3. Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
  4. No international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
  7. If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

Yeah that's an IV bruise.

Old people always seem to bruise like that. But the question is... Why? I thought he was in "perfect health." People in "perfect health" don't need IVs.

With all the dystopic shit going on? Yeah that'd check out.

I'm guessing that in the last few weeks, he hasn't been feeling well and they've been giving him IV hydration every night. Not sure about the weather, but I bet it's hot in DC.

That picture they took of him yesterday and Vance saying that he'll take over if anything happens to Trump, leads me to believe something more serious happened in the last few days. Maybe a mini stroke or something?

Any particular reason you're confident it's from a PVC as opposed to venepuncture? I've seen veins blow during simple venepuncture.

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 3 points 11 months ago

Oh I'm not. It just seems less likely to be a venipuncture at that location .

Looks like a spot on the radial(?) vein where the needle went in.

My elderly mother gets bruises like that from bumping into things.

Wait did he get sick after meeting with Putin?
