Summary

Don is joined by friend of the show Dr. Frita Fisher to take a closer look at something the White House would probably prefer we ignore, a visible rash that recently appeared on Donald Trump’s neck. What is it? A harmless skin irritation? Stress? A reaction? Or something more? While no one is diagnosing from a distance, Dr. Frita breaks down the possibilities and explains what kinds of conditions can cause rashes like that, especially in older adults under intense stress. Because for someone who repeatedly claims to be in “perfect health,” the optics raise questions. How transparent should presidents be about their medical status? And why does health disclosure suddenly become controversial depending on who’s in office? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
