James Carville Goes on Unhinged Rant, Claims Donald Trump has Syphilis

In response to the photos, Dr. Philip Chan, an associate professor in the Department of Medicine at Brown University and medical director of a publicly funded STD clinic in Rhode Island, told Newsweek that the image was “not consistent with secondary syphilis.”

“I think the truth of what’s being speculated upon is that, yes, the rash on the palms of one hand is a strong indicator in people of secondary syphilis. That’s very, very true. But if you look at, if you look at like pictures on the Internet, for example, you’re going to see it’s usually evenly spread out on the palms.

“It’s usually flat. It’s usually kind of like, you know, dots or you know what we would call a maculopapular rash, kind of these flat round spots.

“If you look at what Trump has on his hand, it’s really isolated to one spot on his hand. That’s not really consistent, I would say, with secondary syphilis.”
