A rash spotted on President Donald Trump's neck is trending across social media and now his personal doctor is explaining what's behind it.

On Monday, President Trump made an appearance at a Medal of Honor ceremony at the White House, where the rash, which could be seen on the right side of his neck, was first spotted. The reddish spot on his neck was photographed extending above his collar.

Dr. Sean Barbabella, Trump's physician, told CNN in a statement that the rash is because of a cream he is using as a "preventative skin treatment."

Syphilis? Hep C? Lupus?

As always, they refuse to go into any further details.

Well… looking at the pic in the article and then stupidly looking up pictures of syphilitic rashes…

…

I don’t think that’s syphilis… but in not an expert… not a doctor… but don’t look up syphilis rashes… it’s rough

I'm going to take that advice.

Last year, Trump underwent two exams at Walter Reed National Medical Center, with Barbabella maintaining that Trump remains in "excellent overall health."

what a pity

I don’t think so.

It's not like Vance will be an improvement.

[-] Janx@piefed.social 3 points 4 days ago

I disagree. Trump's real power is his charisma. Those that follow him love him. It's the reason even anti-MAGA Republicans won't seriously go after him; Trump's voters would primary them. Vance has none of that. And can you imagine if politicians were afraid of Progressives because we vote every single election and are united on issues...?

Three months ago I would have agreed. Today, I think Trump is more of a liability than an asset. If he goes, they will load all the bad shit that even MAGA sees on his back and watch it go away.
