Donald Trump in pink boots and hooked to disinfectant IV? Viral clip fuels online mockery

Rumors about Donald Trump’s health have been swirling for weeks, especially after he appeared in public with bruises on his hands poorly covered by concealer.Some speculated that the president was bedridden and gravely ill.

Trump dismissed the chatter by making appearances, but the internet rarely lets go of an opportunity to mock him.

Now, a viral video on X has added fuel to the fire. The clip shows a man dressed in a hospital gown, hooked to an IV stand with what looks like a disinfectant bottle. This disinfectant part is a jibe to the time when Trump, during his first term in the White House, suggested that an "injection" of disinfectant into a person infected with the coronavirus could be a deterrent to the virus.

In the video, Trump was also wearing a rubber Trump mask with bleach-blond hair. Completing the bizarre look are striking pink boots, making the parody both absurd and instantly shareable.The video is being shared plenty and is receiving many reactions too. One user said, "This is quite clever." Another said, "That's a great Halloween costume idea. Hilarious!"

The discolored hand has been the subject of widespread discussion, especially because Trump himself has frequently targeted his rival and former President Joe Biden’s age and fitness. During campaign rallies and interviews, Trump has often questioned Biden’s ability to lead, framing him as too old or too frail to make important decisions. Clips of Biden stumbling on stairs, appearing confused during public appearances, or mixing up names have been circulated heavily online, often amplified by Trump’s own remarks.That’s why the images of Trump’s hand, bruised and awkwardly concealed with makeup, drew so much attention. For many, it seemed ironic that the former president who mocked Biden for signs of aging was now under similar scrutiny.
