Those rumors, spread throughout the weekend, that President Trump had been taken to Walter Reed hospital, turned out to have been baseless. But that doesn’t mean new questions weren’t raised about the president’s health.
According to The Daily Beast, Trump appeared on Sunday at the Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia, and during that appearance, multiple bandages appeared on him when he posed for a picture with an influencer named Meaghan Marie.
“Flashing a wide grin and his signature thumbs-up, the photo showed Trump with two Band-Aids wrapped around his right thumb and right index finger,” the Beast reported. “In addition, the back of Trump’s right hand appeared slightly discolored, likely due to the makeup he routinely uses to cover his chronic bruise on that hand.”
A wartime president disappears for days. His staff spends the weekend denying he’s hospitalized. He resurfaces to drop an F-bomb on Truth Social on Easter morning. And we’re not allowed to ask questions. Why exactly? https://t.co/OVm539NQhd

This was not to be confused with the bandages that had been spotted on other parts of the president’s hands in recent months. However, bandages had appeared on Trump’s individual fingers in the past, including when he was spotted golfing in Scotland last summer.
On Easter morning, this is what President Trump posted.
Everyone in his administration that claims to be a Christian needs to fall on their knees and beg forgiveness from God and stop worshipping the President and intervene in Trump’s madness.

The president did not appear in public for several days before Sunday, leading to reckless speculation that he was hospitalized or even dead. That turned out not to be true, but the president scared Americans for another reason, also on Sunday: He sent a Truth Social message in which he threatened to destroy parts of Iran, while also ending with the bizarre phrase “Praise be to Allah.” It was likely a tribute by Trump to his friend Mike Tyson, who would use similar language while attacking opponents, although it was exceedingly strange, coming from the president of the United States, especially on Easter Sunday.
