Donald Trump today doesn't resemble how he looked even 25 years ago.

Reminds me of the Chinese proverb of how for the first 40 years of your life, you wear the face you're born with and the next 40 years, you wear the face you've earned.

I have never thought he was an attractive man. He was always hideous to me. That anal mouth just repulses me. As does everything else about him.

What a disgusting human being. Of course being a New Yorker, I have always know he was a dirtball. I live in Boston now, but almost every New Yorker despises him. He has never impressed anyone in NYC.

He's uglier and more vulgar now, but he was never a man of quality. He has always been reviled by New Yorkers.

And I guess I must have "earned" a lot of wrinkles and brown spots, 'cause I sure have 'em.

I know a lot of older men and women who may not look as beautiful as they did years ago, but the kindness and goodness in them shines through and they are still beautiful to me.
