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.

    I’ve lost track of the Trump period calendar going into the holidays, but my bet remains:

    In the open-label trial of subcutaneous Leqembi, 8% of patients experienced reactions at the injection site, and most side effects were mild or moderate, according to Eisai.

    People who take Leqembi and Kisunla are required to get an MRI brain scan once a quarter to check for signs of brain damage, such as swelling and bleeding. Such amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA) can occur when someone uses a drug designed to clear amyloid. Most ARIA are asymptomatic or cause mild symptoms, but some ARIA require hospitalization and special treatment.

    Eisai reported that people who received subcutaneous injections had slightly higher rates of ARIA than those who got an IV infusion, but the sample size of the injection group was small enough that an exact comparison can’t be made.

    Trumps’ been on this 28 day schedule of being very peppy, then dragging ass, then being practically dead, then getting his pep back. It lines up with the visual symptoms we see with his hands. He’s also on his like, 3rd or 4th “annual”* MRI for the year.
