A totally shallow observation: We all notice how the presidency ages the person and

many of his/her closest advisors. And that is even when they have but one area of responsibility. But I look at the barely-animate ken-doll, with his portfolio of at least a dozen major areas of responsibility, quite serious ones, and I do not see so much as a wrinkle, a frown line, a gray hair. No sign of human emotion, weighed down with care. Nothing. Very strange.

I mean, even plastic cracks and shows signs of wear and rear. . .but on ken-doll. . .nothing. Is it even human??

of them before and after. He actually looked better and human in the before shot I've seen.

She looks like a different person altogether—nose, cheeks, lips, the works. And of course hair.

Once it unavoidably affects him, watch for the cracks in his facade. Much like is happening with trump*.

in his whole life, his father bought his way into Harvard, his inherited net worth is around $800M, he married the boss' favorite daughter so he's untouchable, his so-called "portfolio" is just some made-up bullshit to make him feel important, he has no real responsibilities or duties, and he's never been held accountable for any of the things he's fucked up.

Why should this pasty-faced, plastic punk look any worse for wear after only four years?

Past presidents were never vain enough to hide the aging.

Also, while he may hide the physical decline, it’s clear he has diminished mentally.

How do you know he’s not showing signs of aging when he wears 40 pounds of orange makeup?
