It has come to light that Democratic operative James Carville speculated, perhaps even wildly, that former President Donald Trump has syphilis. It is noted that the basis of the speculation is a photo that appears to show red sores on Trump’s right hand.
Trump was photographed waving as he left a New York City courthouse in the defamation of E. Jean Carroll trial. The photo shows red markings on his fingers that have caused a bit of fury on social media.
Carville made the stunning accusation at the start of the Politicon podcast, which was subsequently uploaded to YouTube.
“If you go to the Drudge Report I think it’ll still be up. Yeah. There’s a story that talks about Trump having hand-cuts, and you can link to it.,” Carville said. “They don’t look like cuts to me. They look like sores.”
“I’ve asked a number of MDS what medical condition manifests itself through hand sores,” he continued. “And the answer is immediate and unanimous: Secondary syphilis. All right. I think there’s a good chance this man has the clap, and I’m not being particularly secretive about it.”
“Maybe the picture was doctored or whatever,” Carville hedged. “Maybe the story goes somewhere. Maybe it won’t. But I’m telling you, at 1:00 Eastern, I’m humping this thing like a young dog on old furniture.”
#SyphilisDon was trending on social media late into the day on Wednesday evening.
Thursday’s Morning Joe speculated that Trump’s apparent bloody hands could have been magic marker or wounds from pounding the table during his defamation/rape trial in a New York courthouse
