59. They didn't say the treatment caused the rash
Tue Mar 3, 2026, 02:03 AM

The doctor's statement says:

“President Trump is using a very common cream on the right side of his neck, which is a preventative skin treatment, ... The President is using the treatment for one week, and the redness is expected to last for a few weeks.”

Perhaps we're meant to assume that the "very common cream" caused the rash, but the doctor didn't actually say that.
