I guess it figures that he would be insanely vain.

While the nation struggles with a pandemic, Trump goes golfing. Remind Trump voters that he said he would NOT be playing ANY golf if elected. "I'll be too busy to play golf" he remarked. I don't think that, at that time, we were fully aware that he lies about EVERY. SINGLE. THING.

It’s seeing his face with a rectangular white patch after he’s been wearing it for a while and then takes it off.

insisting every day that everyone does the same. But because of his vanity, he didn't do that. To him, his vanity is worth Americans dying.

... in the past when I attended some conferences about a very rare genetic condition that affects me.

It causes early blindness and other problems. One of the minor effects is some skin roughness at the back of the neck and some other locations (which are normally covered by clothes like the armpits and top of the legs).

The women in those conferences repeatedly asked questions about plastic surgery for the napes of their necks! It's not even very noticeable!

Some of them were already blind too, but that slight skin issue was still their main focus. Ugh!

Trump would probably be the same way.

world. And then we go old. Lol. Hopefully one just lets all that go because to continue to struggle with that in old age I can only imagine to be nigh impossible and ruining any value of life experiences cause I got to tell you. Letting all that go has been such a freedom. Society puts a heavy stock in presenting ourselves as appealing to others. Not even for ourselves but for others to gaze upon.

... where so many people have to prostitute themselves for money, doing jobs that almost nobody would choose to do without that incentive.

We're often objects that are subjugated to the power of money, in so many cases.

I mentally broke free from it long ago too.

that he has some sort of addiction that causes his to suck air like an out-of-water fish with his mouth. Gross.

I'm surprised that he's not missing all of the drugs he's been reputed to be taking more than staying in office 4 more years.

I agree w/ others that he will jump ship prior to losing the election very badly and the republicans will have to scramble around and come up w/ another candidate to run up against Biden (a futile attempt, too late by the way). By leaving early, rump avoids the appearance of losing very badly to Biden. He's a coward and can't take such crap. Never could, never will.
