NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Former President Donald Trump's dramatic entrance to attend day two of the E Jean Carroll defamation trial in New York City court made headlines for a whole other reason. The mysterious red marks on his hands.

Astonished by the strange marks, wild theories, and speculations of regarding his health condition started to pop up online. Was it just blisters, a skin condition, or something serious? In light of this, here are three popular theories about the mysterious sore marks on the Republican frontrunners's hands.



 

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.

Marks are from him smacking the table during E. Jean Carroll case

The defamation trial was dramatic, causing the judge to threaten to kick out Trump of the court. The former president's interruptions and loud remarks during the plaintiff's statement were also accompanied by angry banging on the table before him.



 

MSNBC has linked the marks with him smacking the table. According to MSNBC anchors, Trump was like a "toddler having a tantrum perhaps & causing bleeding to his hand."

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.

Internet reacts to the wild theories

Netizens are finding it funny that red blotches on Trump's hand are making the headlines and putting the internet on fire. Responding to the crazy and wild theories, some suggested it might be only marker pen ink.

One user remarked, "Looks like red marker pen to me."



 

Another user said, "I don’t wanna speculate, while they speculate."



 

"Maybe hand if God," read a funny response.



 

One user responded to Jones's theory asking, "Just when has he been golfing this past 2 weeks?"



 

"Waiting for the evangelicals to claim it is stigmata," a fifth user wrote. Another added, "He probably gave it to him."
