...lurches when he walks, and too many other symptoms to mention. So when his pupils are hugely enlarged, yes, mention that too.

used to his disgusting appearance.

Use goggles in the sun bed much?

The media would if it were Biden or Pres Obama. They went hypervigilant over Obama's tan suit, grey poupon, & something else.. was it arugula?

Folks,

Trump doesn't look well. I remember how President Obama showed his age during the period of office, but he still has a spring in his step. Trump just looks tired, unwell and irritated a lot of the time.

One lesson that Trump might have learned is that the power of the office carries weighty responsibilities. If he hasn't learned it in his mind, then maybe his body has learned it.

D.

If he didn't have that spray tan on, I would say he looked close to death. At least I hope so. What a repulsive creature! He makes my skin crawl.

Just the sight of him fills me with hostility and unbearable rage. I am feeling very stabby right now.

I can't help myself. I know it's wrong, but I just have this immediate impulse whenever I see him. I cannot stand the sight of him and I want him to disappear from the face of the earth. It's not like I am actually going to do anything. It's just a fantasy.

I thought it might be a regional colloquialism or a typo. I understand what you are feeling. Most of the world feels something similar.

When I see him on TV, I look away. I can't stand his face either.

None of us are going to do anything. We will wait until November, vote, GOTV and fight like hell if they try to steal it.

She also used to say "You've got to sleep sometime".

A lady not to be trifled with.

Yes, the press should comment on Trump's appearance (which is horrid) but



Those pupils are not the size of pie tins.

And I can't stand the sound of his voice either.

I had to quit watching the network news because they show so many clips of him talking

in the pic provided above, not dilated "the size of pie plates". God/dess knows I can't stand the POS COVID45 but the writer is incorrect in this case.

...before or after he did his makeup? I swear, there are 11-year-old girls with shoeboxes full of dollar store cosmetics whose makeup looked better than Trump’s the first time they did it.

how much worse must you look before the hideous orange raccoon make-up to think you look better with it?

Think about it. Trump's ego tells him he looks better as an oompa loompa reject than he does au naturel (his natural state sans make-up).
