Donald Trump's Alleged 'Paper Cut' Causes #SyphilisDon To Trend Amid Wild Theories

Former President Donald Trump was recently photographed with what appeared to be blood on the palm of his right hand. Unfortunately, the photo has led to wild conspiracies and theories on social media, including the trending of the word "syphilis."

The photo of Trump was taken as he left his E. Jean Carroll trial on Wednesday. While waving at his supporters, the embattled politician inadvertently exposed the red marks on his palm and fingers.

While Trump was in Florida supporting his wife, Melania Trump, during the burial of her mother, his name was being dragged across social media for his red hand sores being connected to the disease syphilis.

The wild allegations stemmed from a photo of the ex-president waving at his supporter as he left the premises of his E. Jean Carroll trial on Wednesday.

In the pictures, Trump's right hand looked visibly injured, with what appeared to be red blotches scattered across his palm.

Now, sources close to the Ex-President have since told news outlets that it was simply a "paper cut" that caused blood to spread on Trump's palm. However, social media has run amok with theories regarding what exactly Trump's injuries could be.

On X, formerly known as Twitter, the hashtag #SyphilisDon has been trending, with several individuals claiming that the former President has "hand herpes."

Online commentator, Ron Fancy noted that the cuts looked like "sores" to him. He added that he shared the image of Trump's palm with several medical doctors, asking, "What medical condition manifests itself through hand sores?

Fancy further noted that "the answer [was] immediate and unanimous, secondary syphilis." He added that he believes Trump has "the clap."

A second person tweeted, "Raise your hand if you're the world's 'Worse Germophobe Ever.' #SyphilisDon"

A third individual said, "#SyphilisDon is trending because Trump's word salad is getting much worse, and he has obvious signs on his hands."

Again, Donald Trump's team is clear it was a simple paper cut. Of course, the situation points to the craziness that is ensuing online as the 2024 election is ramping up.

The wild allegations made against the ex-president come amid his trip to Florida, where he joined his wife, Melania, for the private funeral of her mother, Amalija Knavs.

The family laid Knavs to rest after a service at the Episcopal Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea in Palm Beach.

Images from the event showed the former first lady looking straight-faced while wearing a black suit and dark sunglasses. Melania stood with her father, Viktor Knavs, and her son, 17-year-old Barron. The trio stood by as pallbearers carried Knavs' coffin, covered by gorgeous white flowers, into the church, which isn't far from Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate.

The ex-president was also pictured outside the church, wearing a navy blue suit and black tie. Trump had on a sad look as he supported the Melania at the funeral.

Other family members present at the funeral included Ivanka and her husband, Jared Kushner, Tiffany Trump, and Kim Guilfoyle, fiancée of Donald Trump Jr.
