Same. I scrambled to save the image, thinking it would get disappeared once someone noticed.

Jones doesn’t deserve to be serenaded by such a feat of technology.

Has anyone created the world’s tiniest wet fart?

I guess we have to wait for the Texas appeal for the liquidation of InfoWars to get back on track.

I think he thinks the ‘M’ is a crown.

His hair was ‘disappeared’ due to the backlighting (and its thinning).

Light, thin hair backlit by sun fades to a light glow.

I do wonder why Time would take such a picture. Other than to highlight his hairloss and throat folds.

They’re trying to make him look Presidential.

Taken from the front, if he sees the camera, he’ll preen or scowl as he usually does, which looks ridiculous.

From that angle, he actually looks halfway like he realizes the import of the moment and that it’s not all about him. Of course, he immediately ruined it by complaining about it, but he can’t help but turn everything he touches to shit

Image has been disappeared, just like trump’s hair. What was it a picture of?

Hmm, I can still see the image upthread.

Anyway, it’s a shot from Austin Powers, Goldmember, I think. The character, Fat Bastard, as seen after he lost a bunch of weight, leaving him with a wrinkly, flabby neck. He says” unfortunately, my neck looks like a vagina”. Much like Trump’s neck on the Time cover.

Not me, either on Edge on a PC or Safari on a phone.

Yarn is a shitty web site to grab images from. I know this from experience, sadly.

But that _Time_ photo reminds me of something…

The might have to start putting the magazine behind those opaque boards, given how much his neck resembles the female body part he likes to grab…

I think this back handed compliment by Trump about his Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt could go here:

Do you think the photo was tampered with? I mean, his disgusting neck that holds up his disgusting head is definitely not a pretty sight under any circumstances, but I can’t help picturing (no pun intended) a photo editor enhancing the most unsightly part. Even if no tampering, it’s such a bad photo that I wonder if it was chosen specifically because it is so ugly (and gynecological).
