WH Is Taking New Steps To Hide Trump’s Condition

As I wrote last night for his ‘proof of life’ presser Team Trump’s army of stylists and medical professionals had him looking like he did before he disappeared from public view.  What I, and I think a lot of people didn’t notice was a new tactic that’s started to be used to HIDE the obvious physical issues Trump’s got going on.

For example, makeup thick enough to cover the bruising on the back of his hand clearly shows in photos. Try as he might to cover that hand with the other one Trumpty sometimes slips up. For yesterday’s Oval Office presser a prop was used that would prevent photographers from getting a close-up photo of Trump’s hand. Take a look at the title photo above and note the MAGA hat strategically placed on the desk!

As this article from The Daily Beast explains this isn’t a one-time thing.  The picture above was taken from a tweet from the White House account. The linked article contains another tweet from a separate event that shows use of a different prop to hide Trumpty’s swollen ankles from photographers:

The White House’s photo from Tuesday afternoon wasn’t the first instance of it diverting attention from the 79-year-old president’s physical ailments.

Last month, after Oval Office meetings with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and South Korean President Lee Jae Myung, the White House posted photos with obstructed views of Trump’s swollen ankles. In each instance, a model of Air Force One on a coffee table prevented a clear look.

I’m unable to embed a photo in my articles so  you’ll have to click on the link to The Daily Beast but you can see the tweet for yourself. The placement of that pretty fair sized model of Air Force One was no accident!  It looks to me like not everyone who works for Trumpty is a completely incompetent dumbass. He might want the worst possible people to assist him with forming and carrying out disastrous policies, but when it comes to his freaking image he apparently looks for the best he can get. Lord knows what he has to pay some of his PR flacks, by which I mean the ones who are smart enough to come up with this crap.

It will be an interesting game of cat (hiding Trump’s clear physical issues) and mouse (sharp eyed photographers looking to catch any slip up in the literal cover-up. Trump can’t always control the setting and staging the way he can in the White House or inside at one of his getaways.  However it will limit his movements. If I’m not mistaken he’s still heading to the UK to be feted by King Charles.

And out on the golf course he can make sure to wear long enough pants to hide his “cankles’ but his hand? He’s right handed so a golf glove would be worn on his LEFT hand. I can only think of one pro golfer who wore gloves on both hands and if Trump started doing so it would generate a ton of “what’s he hiding” speculation unless he for some reason chose to play when the temperature is way cold. (I had a set of gloves for those times)

My point is to NOT be fooled. Pay attention to the props Trump uses to hide his hands, his ankles and look for more tactics to emerge. Sides on podiums that extend back to hide his “lean” and the lifts in his shoes? Fencing a few feet high, perhaps with some added screening and a collection of aides in front of and behind Trump to hide his leg dragging?  Perhaps you’ll think of more. My point is to be on the lookout for this stuff because it’s going to be common from now on.

So we all need to point it out, especially those who are active on social media sites. A “Look at him using a hat to hide his bruised/swollen hands!’ type thing.  Trump and MAGAs will be furious and that’s the point. This is a great chance to trigger THEM. They love dishing it out but can’t take it so I say seize the chance to make them suffer.
