The picture shows fighter Kayla Harrison, who had just won the UFC women’s bantamweight championship, putting her belt around Trump’s waist.
One post stated, “Trump appears to wearing leg braces and possibly a catheter. The weakness on his right side has been pretty evident for a number of years. And the bruising on his right hand might be caused from his receiving infusion therapy of some sort. Common with a Parkinson’s type disease,”
The post went viral. Some defended Trump, stating that it wasn’t a catheter at all.
“No it isn’t. That pant leg is close fitting and that perfectly straight line is a crease. Foley catheters are absolutely not standard of care except post procedure. A walkie talkie patient gets self-cath or male pads,” one post read.
So, what is a Foley catheter? As per the Cleveland Clinic, it’s a “medical device that helps drain urine from your bladder. Healthcare providers use Foley catheters if you have a condition that makes it difficult or impossible to pee. You may also need a Foley catheter while your body heals after surgery.” A provider can teach you how to insert and clean a Foley catheter.”
