'Whoa – this is new': Trump's visible rash prompts new health concerns

President Donald Trump appeared in public Monday morning with a significant rash on his neck.

The 79-year-old president awarded the Medal of Honor at the White House to Vietnam veteran Terry P. Richardson, who is credited with saving the lives of 85 soldiers during a 1968 battle, and journalist Aaron Rupar noted that photos showed a heavy rash on the right side of Trump's neck at the event.

"Whoa -- this is new," Rupar posted, showing a photo credited to Getty photographer Saul Loeb. "Trump has a significant rash-like injury on his neck today in addition to his disfigured hand."

Trump has frequently been seen in public, including the medal award event, with makeup covering the back of his right hand to cover what appears to be injuries from IV injections, and the photo of his rash raised new concerns about his health.




......"My dad was doubling, possibly tripling up, his blood thinners at one point," posted Bluesky user Nicole. "Parts of his skin would just tear and bleed because of this. If his collar is rubbing up against his neck, the friction could cause this. Wasn't there something about him taking way too much aspirin?"
