Im surprised Trump hasnt had a nervous break down.
He thought everything was going to be such a cakewalk instead of the shit show it is now.
Unless of course he is drugged to the Gills

(15,124 posts)They always show how much the presidency ages men. Even Bush physically aged more than he would have had he not been president. But Trump hasn't. He's aging at the rate he would have as a real estate developer. It's because he doesn't care about the people that he's serving. He's still only working on how to make money for himself. The children in cages, the abandoned Kurds, the people dying of Covid-19, none of it matters to him.

(1,076 posts)Its not the job that does it, but a factor from the typical age demographic they share. Namely that Presidents are almost always at an age when the visible signs of aging start accelerating.
You can do it by comparing photos of a President to someone of the same age over the course of a Presidency. Example: George Clooney is the same age as Obama. Compare 2008 photos of each of them to photos from 2016. Youll see that they both showed the same signs of aging at about the same rate. Because they were both aging from 47 to 55 over that span of time.
But here are some photos anyway, to demonstrate it:
Obama 2008 vs 2016
George Clooney 2008 v 2016
So its time to put this silly myth to rest.

(17,003 posts)Its a dream come true for a malignant narcissist. All those people begging him for life saving equipment. Constant media attention. An incredible opportunity to rape the US treasury to enrich himself and his family. Whats not to like? He has no empathy so what happens to anyone else doesnt matter, at all.

2) Xi, a highly competent, accomplished, politician would never enter into a conspiracy, of this magnitude, with what may be the worlds biggest fuck-up.

Sycophants pushing the inflated # angle, just dumb evil disprovable shit, but red meat for the
ignoramuses still on board?
It almost looks like dumb people are being targeted for a reduction?
