The president had yet another strange mark on his hands over Christmas, once again raising concerns that his health is not what he has claimed it to be.
Donald Trump—the oldest person to ever be elected president—was photographed with what appeared to be another bruise on Christmas Eve, this time marring his left hand.
The 79-year-old has repeatedly claimed that he is in pristine condition, brushing off public alarm over his deteriorating body.
Is there a citation for a direct statement on this? All I have found is his statement in 2020 of being a transitional candidate or a bridge. I agree it’s reasonable to equate this to not planning to seek a second term. But it would nice to have a more direct and explicit statement of such to cite.
Admittedly, no, I just remember it being taken that way in 2020 when his age was an issue. Definitely possible the media misconstrued it, but regardless if he was acting in good faith in 2024 instead of out of ego, he would have declined to run.
So much of his last year bumbling would have been totally forgivable if he never went on the debate stage, never made the Dems run Kamala without further discussion etc.
