Sources says it's just a paper cut
Responding to the wild speculations on the marks that appeared night, sources close to Trump's campaign said it was from a simple paper cut, and he accidentally smeared the blood on his hands, as reported by Radar Online.
Though red blotches on his right index finger, thumb, and palm were visible in the morning, his hands were fine when he headed out of the court after the trial.

Alex Jones says Trump has 'Golfer's Rash,' not syphilis
Far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones denied the speculations of Trump suffering from syphilis and claimed the red blotches were only "golfer's rash."

Previously, former Bill Clinton campaign consultant James Carville said that the former president suffered from secondary syphilis, an STD.
Jones backed his claims, saying he used to get it while playing golf. "It's what I grew up witnessing when I played golf ... I would routinely get it. You can see, it's perfect golfer's rash."
"The man plays up to two complete, 18-hole rounds a day. He's a top scratch golfer, almost professional. This isn't just about even defending Trump. It's about defending reality and I'm sick of it. These people are so desperate," Jones added.
