Hard to believe the followers are down with makeup.

      Idk, if he wants to wear makeup and a goody ass haircut, that is fine. He wants to be taller and wear risers, fine, do you. But i never understand how people are fine with being out of absolute shape fatass.

        I don’t fault him for that. Getting old sucks, and it affects people differently. Many get bigger without much effort and there may be underlying conditions that limit ones ability to exercise sufficiently. I’m okay with Trump being heavy, lying about it egregiously is a different story.

          In his case he was bragging about intentionally not exercising so it’s not the same, but you’re right

          Yeah idgaf what he looks like if he’s honest about it or not being a massive jackass about it. He’s an obese old man with bad makeup and bad hair, that’s fine, I wish an obese woman with bad makeup and bad hair could be such a popular politician. But he’s acting like he’s young and fit and his followers are joining in it and it’s just wild. Also the whole fascism thing

            My issue with it is more that he bullies and ridicules other people for their looks even though everything about himself is fake. And yeah, primarily the fascism.

          He has money to hire the best personal trainer ever, I think he doesn’t because he’s from the old school where rich old men were fat and so it doesn’t bother him. He might even get off on the idea that he can be so fat and still cheat on his wife.

                  You’re asking me why people lie to make themselves look better? In particular, you’re asking that about a person with a known following of people who believe anything he says…?

          ’m okay with Trump being heavy,

          it’s the hypocrisy - he mocks everyone else while he’s no paragon of virtue or masculinity or physical health.

          that’s the bit that sticks in my craw.

        goody ass haircut

        ? did you mean goofy?

        Either way, I’d just wonder what you think this means - like overly styled? every politician is gonna have the makeup and hair people hovering around, sure… but donny’s sculpting 9"s of sideburns as hair around the crown of his head. I wouldn’t call that a goody ass haircut, I’d call it copium and mass delusion on the part of his marks.

        the rest is spot on.

    If I were prominent and running against trump, I would literally do all of Trump’s embarrassing things just once each, so that I can use the GOP to generate its own attack ads for me. Not the personal assaults or anything policy-wise obviously.

    It’s be shocked if Biden didn’t put on any makeup tbh

    I just assume anyone who spends most of their time under immense public scrutiny would use at a minimum a very light amount of makeup. It’s basically undetectable but makes a noticable difference in how you are perceived.

    Maybe that’s just the theater talking

    They would straight faced say he’s ashamed of his white skin or he’s pandering to people of color. Maybe someone should pop that question to the orange buffoon and watch his brain short circuit more than it already has

    Meh, it’ll be fine so long as he doesn’t wear a tan suit, I’m sure.
