About those bandaid on OrangeTurd's hands

Is it normal to need to have bandaids DAYS after an IV is taken out? Am I wrong to think that he's still getting IV fluids?

1. I would think if they were doing daily infusions he would have a line left in not a band aid

The only pain was the lidocaine shot. He’d have to be a real woos. It would have the added benefit of not being seen; it could easily be concealed under a shirt and jacket once the IVs were disconnected.

9. This. My wife has one and it is not seen unless she is unclothed.

I would be shocked it he didn't have one.

3. I'm sure he would not have agreed to be photographed with lock in.

Unlikely they would have left a line in, but they have what used to be called hep-locks so that you just connect the IV line to the lock for regular infusions.

4. They're not supposed to be doing infusions.

The aborted fetus cocktail he took was a one time deal. The steroid were only for 5 days and ended a while ago. He said he’s not taking anything right now.

Sure.

7. It's been long enough since leaving Walter Reed that he wouldn't still need a bandaid from those

venipunctures, typically anyhow.

Maybe he's still getting IV infusions of some kind, or maybe he's just trying to cover up the bruising (I would suspect Trump would just favor makeup, as per usual, if that were the issue though).
