Timcast IRL #942 Democrats Accuse Trump Of Having SYPHILIS Over GOLF BLISTERS On Hand w/Dom Lucre
Episode Recap
Timcast IRL episode #942 aired on January 19, 2024, with Tim Pool hosting alongside co-hosts and guest Dom Lucre. The episode centered on the bizarre media spectacle surrounding photos of Donald Trump's hand, which showed red markings that many outlets speculated were symptoms of syphilis or other STIs, but were actually clearly visible golf blisters. Tim and guests mocked the mainstream media's willingness to run with such an absurd conspiracy theory, with Tim noting that for Trump's hand blisters to be from advanced syphilis, he would have had symptoms for approximately 10 years without treatment. The show also covered growing Democrat panic over Trump's increasing support among young voters, with outlets like Vox and Teen Vogue reporting on the trend. Sean Strickland's upcoming UFC fight was highlighted, with Tim praising him as a warrior defending free speech.
