#Donanemab
Lecanemab (Leqembi) & donanemab (Kisunla) are antiamyloid medicines approved for people with mild dementia due to Alzheimer's disease & mild cognitive impairment due to AD. Lecanemab is given as an IV infusion every 2 weeks. Donanemab is given as an IV infusion every 4 weeks.

Neither cures.

Real answer: Trump receives Lecanemab (Leqembi) or Donanemab (Kisunla) via IV infusion in an effort to slow his cognitive loss due to his dementia.
Q: Can you explain what's going on with the bandages on Trump's hand?

LEAVITT: We've given you an explanation. The president is literally constantly shaking hands.

He is getting infusions of Leqembi (lecanemab) and/or Donanemab to treat Alzheimer's, I'm convinced of it.
Trump's *left* hand -- not the one that is usually disfigured -- now has a large bruise and is discolored

Or the IV treatments for dementia/Parkinson’s (lecanemab (Leqembi) and donanemab (Kisunla)) that require infusion every 2 weeks…

Donanemab is administered intravenously every four weeks and requires regular MRIs.

Intravenous (IV) drug treatments (via hand) for early Alzheimer's disease, such as lecanemab (brand name Leqembi®) and donanemab (brand name Kisunla™), utilize MRI scans (umm, has he had those?) extensively for both patient screening and safety monitoring.

In case you know someone taking MRIs 6 months apart.

Kisunla (generic name: donanemab-azbt) is a monoclonal antibody medication developed by Eli Lilly and Company for the treatment of early-stage symptomatic Alzheimer's disease, including mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia.

It seems all too obvious that Trump is on Donanemab, given monthy via IV. That would explain the hand bruising. It would also explain the MRI, since it can cause bleeding in the brain that can be seen on MRI scans.

Scientists are nearing the development of pills to prevent or reduce Alzheimer's effects. In 2024, lecanemab and donanemab, shown to slow dementia decline by 30%, were approved by several regulators, with 127 more drugs in trials. https://buff.ly/3C9qL1b

When the truth comes out about why Trump is repeatedly going for medical checkups, it will seem absolutely insane.

Protip: This visit schedule, the bruises on his hands, the repeated cognitive tests, repeated MRIs are all consistent with Lecanemab, or Donanemab treatment.
Trump is set to visit Walter Reed on Tuesday for his 3rd checkup in 13 months.

Asked about the visit, White House officials touted reports Trump is in "exceptional" health.

Outside physicians said there are legitimate health questions about the nearly 80-year-old president.

I’ve seen speculation that he’s on Kinsula, which would explain both the IV bruises as the two MRIs spaced exactly six months apart.

The TGA has approved a drug to treat Alzheimer's disease.
Clinical trials have shown Donanemab can help in the early stages of the disease

The pharmaceutical Co that makes the drug said an application for Donanemab to be listed on the PBS would be reviewed by the advisory committee in July

He's on his monthly donanemab infusion, though, and out of it today. Wait 48 hours.

Amazing new paper from @sfackley.bsky.social that exposes the statistical alchemy Lilly applied to their donanemab data:

There is little to no correlation between amyoid removal and clinical outcomes with donanemab (or lecanemab).
