*🧵The White House has provided an explanation to Daily Mail about the reason for the bruising seen on President Trump's hands that everyone online is going crazy over. They say it all comes down to a key, public-facing part of his job.*

A White House official said the bruising comes from Trump shaking hundreds of hands of people on the campaign trail and with his current duties.

Those repeated interactions can take a toll.

The official said Trump greets as many people as possible. That explains why it appeared in October, during the height of Trump's campaign to retake the White House.

Early this month, snappers got a good look because Trump decided to hold up one of the many executive orders he signed in his first days on the job.

Once again, it was the same right hand Trump used to ink those executive orders, greet lawmakers, or hit a customized red button on his desk to order a Diet Coke.

It was very pronounced on February 24th, when Trump would hold three tense handshake engagements with French President Emmanuel Macron.

This time, the makeup, if it was that, did not appear to closely match Trump's pinkish, slightly tanned skin. The foundation was a darker brown than Trump, who had every reason to glow after getting in several rounds of golf over the long weekend.

It is most obvious in an image put on the wire by Getty images Monday afternoon in the Oval Office. That means the makeup had already been applied before Trump's touchy meeting with Macron where vied for dominance.

In the absence of clear information, speculation has flared on the Internet. -*➡️*AND DAILY MAIL IS A MAIN CULPRIT OF SAID SPECULATION AS YOU'LL SEE IN MY NEXT POST, THEY'RE STILL PUSHING STORIES ABOUT IT SINCE REVEALING IN THIS ARTICLE THEY KNOW THE CAUSE. 🙄*

**At first blush, it might be difficult to connect dog collars with Ukraine’s war against Russia.

But according to data compiled by Sen. Joni Ernst, the U.S. Agency for International Development spent $300,000 of American taxpayers’ money in 2022 to boost the Ukrainian pet alliance, which markets the country’s products in the West.

USAID also committed American taxpayers’ money to several other Ukrainian concerns: $150,000 to a knitwear company, $255,000 to an organic coffee and tea producer, $89,000 to a vineyard and $1 million to a carpet company.

Ms. Ernst calls the money the “misallocated millions” and says it went to projects that stretched well beyond basic U.S. national interests.READ |** XPOST

Corrupt bureaucrats: “Oh no the government might shut down!”

Me:

I have a hard time getting invested in Congressional spending nowadays.

I just assume that as soon as our tax dollars hit the government’s hands, it’s gone. Doesn’t matter how they spend it, it’s not coming back to us.

Nothing changes until there is sweeping accountability of the corrupt ruling class. Nothing changes until a reckoning is unleashed on Washington.

The swamp must be drained. The corrupt bureaucracy must be eliminated.

Once again rockets are falling around us !

Hezbollah fired 115 rockets since this morning

Again rockets ?

????⚡️- Hezbollah has issued a statement on the attacks in Lebanon today.

"At approximately 3:30 pm on Tuesday 09-17-2024, a number of message receiving devices known as “pagers” exploded, which were owned by a number of workers in various Hezbollah units and institutions. These explosions, the causes of which are still unknown, led to the martyrdom of a girl and two brothers, and the injury of a large number of people with various injuries.

Hezbollah's competent agencies are currently conducting a wide-ranging security and scientific investigation to determine the causes that led to these simultaneous explosions. Likewise, medical and health agencies are treating the wounded and injured in a number of hospitals in various Lebanese regions.

We ask God Almighty to have mercy on our righteous martyrs on the road to Jerusalem, and we pray for the wounded and injured to recover quickly, and we call on our honorable people to be aware of the rumors and false and misleading information that some parties are spreading in a way that serves the psychological war in the interest of the Zionist enemy, especially since this is accompanied by the Zionist enemy’s speeches of intimidation and threats and what it calls changing the situation in the north.

We affirm that the resistance, at all its levels and various units, is at the highest level of readiness to defend Lebanon and its steadfast people."
