> [@running\_coach](#): > > Gee, I wonder why? > > 😃 OK, well then let’s throw out all “self reporting medical studies” because no one wants to admit having a symptom that the study is looking for. If my dick wasn’t working, I sure the hell would report it to the doctors in charge of the study so they could come up with some kind of solution for me. ---

I am fairly certain his self-reporting of his ED would be non-existent. In fact his manhood works exceptionally better than a 25 year olds, is what he would say. The best, only the best for old Donnie boy. And size? Let’s not even go there. ---

> [@Beckdawrek](#): > > ^^I remember when my daughter was learning about make-up as a young teen, the girls in her group decided that using concealer under your eyes was a good look. They went around with multi-colored undereyes for a whole year. It was hilarious. Thankfully someone found out how stupid it looked and changed the routine. So Trump is a teen girl playing with make-up. Oh great, I feel better now. > ETA, I have thought why doesn’t Melania or Ivanka clue him in on hair color. I assume they know the ins and outs. Do you mean that they were using multiple shades of concealer? Yeah, that would look weird. ---

> [@nearwildheaven](#): > > Do you mean that they were using multiple shades of concealer? Yeah, that would look weird. Yep, it was the beginning of the contouring craze. Alot of white and pinky brown colors. It even veered into a glittery look at one point. There’s nothing like a bunch of 8th grade girls at the bus stop with an over abundance of glittery makeup and way too much perfume. It’s sickening if you’re caught unaware. ---

I, too, am puzzled as to why he doesn’t have a professional makeup artist even out his skin tone. I mean, has he _seen_ himself? ---

He’s seen the women who are willing to sleep with him, and that’s probably all that matters. Having a shit load of money and fame (or the appearance of same) gets you a long way without having to worry about looks. Have you seen Harvey Weinstein and then have you seen his wife (or ex-wife or whatever she is these days)? ---

Change that to: \*without having to worry about whether your sense of what makes you look good is in any way reflective of what most people think. \* Your random schmo, if he made himself up like Trump, would get immediate feedback from desired sex partners that Trump seemingly doesn’t get. ---

Remember also that he’s a Ron. When someone does tell him “that doesn’t look good on you”, he dismisses it as either fake news, envy, or, if it’s a woman, she’s on her period. ---

Yeah, but the guy is also sensitive to perceived slights. Even tho he apparently watches Fox near exclusively, he can’t be unaware that his appearance is widely mocked. Has no one - an ex-wife, or business opponent - ever spoken uncharitably about his appearance? And he seems narcissistic (in a nondiagnostic use of the term.) Makes me wonder why someone would take active steps - his hairstyle/skin color - to present himself in a manner that he knows people mock. What does he see when he looks in the mirror? ---

I think it was prescient of him to start growing a comb over while still young, so he would have the foundation and scaffolding in place for when he would need it years later. ---

I have always suspected underhanded sabotage. If I were Trump’s makeup artist, that’s just about exactly what I would do to him. ---

It’s basically a double comb-over. It comes in from the side and back, goes across and forward and then back around. So it can be [picked up by the wind](https://www.gq.com/story/donald-trump-hair-reverse-google-image-search) from just about any angle. As to the stupid stuff like hair, skin color, length of tie, etc. Keep this in mind: Remember those car dealers that do commercials in costumes, with animals, etc.? Stupid looking right? But you remember them and they sell cars. I think Trump knows how ridiculous he looks. But you remember him. He’s famous. Fame and money, no matter how he gets it, he’ll be happy. This type of things goes hand in hand with being a conman. You don’t think that clowns are smart enough to run a game on you. You let your guard down. Distract the marks while you’re stealing their wallet. ---

> [@Mangosteen](#): > > Propecia causes ED in about TWO PERCENT of patients. Look it up. Study after study shows this. Maybe the President is part of the 2%, but to make a statement like “The meds he takes (propecia) causes erectile dysfunction.” is just plain wrong. Ninety-eight percent of users do not report this problem. TMI anecdote time: I tried Propecia once, maybe 15 years ago. After about a month, I could’ve slammed my junk in a car door and not felt a thing. Ranking certain priorities higher than keeping hair, I stopped, and it took roughly _a year_ before I felt normal again. From reports I’ve read, quite a few men aren’t so lucky. The stuff screws around with your hormones, essentially, and they don’t like to be provoked. Sure, maybe I happened to be in that unlucky 2%. I would bet, though, that the incidence is a whole lot higher than Merck and their no doubt completely impartial, trustworthy and accurate studies claim. ---
