In an explosive interview about his medical treatments, Trump also admitted that he applies makeup to his hands, saying that the large daily dose of aspirin he takes to thin his blood causes them to bruise easily.

...

He visited Walter Reed Hospital in mid-July after suffering “mild swelling in his lower legs,” and an ultrasound showed he has “chronic venous insufficiency,” a common ailment in older people that makes it more difficult for the blood to travel to the heart from the legs through smaller veins.

He’s old, old people bruise easily. He’s also incredibly vain, hence the atrocious hair and orange skin. I’m not sure why anyone is shocked that he would wear make up on his hands to cover bruising. Could it be from IVs, could it be from blood thinners, could it be from being clumsy? All are possible and he would use make up for any of them.

Could there be more going on with his health? Yes. But the story doesn’t tell you anything more than what is going on with most people who are 80 years old.

The news isn't that he's experiencing age-related health problems. It's that he's admitting it so freely.

He finally stopped lying about one thing, I’m not saying that this isn’t potentially newsworthy, what I’m saying is that this is not an important news story, it’s not a “shocking” revelation that the article claims.

If he finally stopped lying about it, to me, it means there really must be nothing there.
