Sheesh, that's an esoteric reference (that I had to google).
Somewhere I saw suggestions of "bruises from an IV".
Who knows? He's a very old guy, bound to have medical things going on. Bigger issue is the bad case of fascism the country is coming down with.

I doubt it's from an IV. Bad spot for someone that old, especially with a visible vein just next to it. I think it's more likely just a bruise from any of the various meds they're pumping into him to keep him upright.
The latest photo of his cankles is a REALLY bad sign. Well, depending on how you look at it ... If he's not in CHF, I'll be shocked.
If so, it completely passed me by. Don't think I'd even heard of it till looking that up just now.
Maybe it was 'big' among children - pretty sure I was too old for it though.
Legit pun on "sketchy-looking MF", though, if that was the intention.

Never assume you're too old for a story.
That's pretty bad edema, probably lymphedema (likely very bad at his age).

Trump Diagnosed With Vein Disease Tied to Swollen Ankles
President Donald Trump was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency after experiencing leg swelling, though physicians said he is in “excellent health,” the White House announced Thursday.

Maybe they drained off a couple backed up quarts and upsized the catheter? A fluid buildup caused by his heart?
People typically live 2 to 5 years after being diagnosed with congestive heart failure.
Know what will clear that up? Coke with real cane sugar!
How long until Trump's in a wheelchair drooling in a bucket dragging along an IV stand? Can they pull off a "Weekend at Bernie's"?

Trump should check Tik Tok for herbal remedies.
Yeah, all this sudden 'transparency' about his medical conditions and health - an attempt to distract from the Epstein news, his poll numbers and to garner sympathy?

If they are using this to distract from the Epstein files, they really are rattled.

This story never made any sense:
Virginia Giuffre, one of Jeffrey Epstein's most prominent abuse survivors, dies by suicide
Other Epstein victims credited Giuffre with giving them the courage to speak out.

Interesting article on why people believe conspiracies. (Spoiler alert for many it’s excessive overconfidence)

Very interesting article (though I ran out of energy to read it carefully, part-way through, bookmarked for later - it also in turn links to other interesting bits of research, so still more homework).
For some reason I always get a strong desire to poke holes in anything 'social psychology' related [edit - I mean, as I understand it, the field as a whole does not have a particularly good track record for reproducible results]. I'm distrustful of the entire field. But on the other hand, maybe that impulse of mine is closely related to the very traits they are talking about?
On first scan-reading, the 'overconfidence' referred to seems to be not so much the believer's overconfidence in their own reasoning powers, but overconfidence in the sense that they grossly overestimate how many others believe the same as they do.
That seems, to me, related to how often people - perhaps particularly in this Age of Popularism - seem to believe they are in touch with some supposed overwhelming majority of 'ordinary people', and thus are speaking as representatives of some supposed 'silent majority' against a minority, elite, view. Often, these days, it seems that people with diametrically-opposing views seem to be equally convinced of that.

No, it's a chip and it transmits all auditory in the vicinity of Trump to the Kremlin.
