Democrats use Trump’s neck rash to mock him with Epstein jab

WASHINGTON, DC: Democrats jumped on photos showing a rash near Trump’s right ear this week, turning what the White House called a minor medical issue into a full-blown political jab.

Social media lit up, with some even joking about Jeffrey Epstein.

Everything started after Trump showed up at a Medal of Honor ceremony on Monday with a pretty clear rash and scab on his neck.

Democrats use Epstein as punchline

Trump, 79, premiered a nasty rash just below his right ear when he appeared at a White House Medal of Honor ceremony on Monday, March 2. A scab was also present as part of the rash.

While speculation about the cause of the skin irritation flared online, Trump’s physician, Dr Sean Barbabella, told the Daily Beast it was part of a treatment being used for one week.

On Tuesday, Trump attempted to cover the rash with his trusty flesh-colored make-up.

That led to the Democrats’ X account sharing a photo of Trump attempting to disguise the rash, photoshopping the face of Jeffrey Epstein onto the afflicted area.

Their caption read “damn it looks even nastier when you zoom in.”

The rash garners reactions online

When the rash was first captured on camera, Gavin Newsom’s Press Office was quick to share the photo with a string of eye emojis.

“President Trump is using a very common cream on the right side of his neck, which is a preventative skin treatment, prescribed by the White House Doctor,” the caption read.

Trump's physician said, without revealing what the cream is actually preventing.

Dr Vin Gupta, a medical analyst for MS NOW, questioned the White House’s explanation and suggested the rash could be “pre-cancerous.”

“The White House medical team didn’t know [Trump] got a CT scan.

They claimed it was an MRI for weeks,” Gupta said, referring to the advanced imaging that Trump revealed he had done in October last year for “preventative” measures.

Dr Jonathan Reiner, cardiologist to Dick Cheney, the late vice president, shared a theory that Barbabella’s statement might not have been written by the physician himself.

“The hint that this statement might not have actually been written by Dr Barbabella is that in it, he says that the medication was ‘prescribed by the White House Doctor’. He’s the WH Doctor,” Reiner wrote on X.

People are talking more and more about Trump’s health these days, especially since he’s 79 and there have been some visible things, like bruises, swollen ankles, and now this rash.
