TRUMP Yeah! It’s a disgrace the way all those Chinese scientists and graduate students, especially _pregnant ones_, fly to Mexico and then wade across the Rio Grande in the dark carrying drugs, and automatic weapons and Oriental [sic] diseases that they spread all over the country after getting their babies on Medicaid and food stamps and teaching them to sit around all day smoking crack! Yeah! Keep out Asian immigrants–they bring our country down! /s ---

I know I am beating a dead horse here, but that application of the (bizarre) orange overcoat on his wrinkled, varicose visage actually manages to make him look worse. Does he not get any advice, any at all, about how the office of POTUS requires a certain decorum? (I mean, obviously “tan suit” debacle excepted…) ---

> [@scudsucker](#): > > Does he not get any advice, any at all, about how the office of POTUS requires a certain decorum? So apparently you’ve been on another planet since Jan. 20, 2017? Because clearly, if anyone around him ever had the temerity to give him such advice, he’s never accepted it. ---

Many Argentinians commemorate “El dia del hijo de puta”, “Son of a bitch day” on August 2, the birthday of the late, unlamented dictator Jorge Videla was born. It would’ve been better may be to select the day he died (sitting on the loo, in jail). Anyway you can have your own “Son of a bitch day” when the orange pustule dies, it will be celebrated world-wide I’m sure. ---

> [@scudsucker](#): > > Does he not get any advice, any at all, about how the office of POTUS requires a certain decorum? Hahahaha!!! 🤣 First of all, Trump has an appearance he has developed over decades that is part of his “brand”. The bronzer, fucked up hairstyle, tacky long ties, etc. It’s more a costume than a style. He will never change that, and doesn’t care if people dislike it. It’s part of what got him to where he is, as ridiculous as it might seem. Second, he infamously ignores advice he doesn’t like. At best, he dismisses it, and will even attack people who tell him things he doesn’t want to hear. Anyone who suggests he needs to change his look risks being fired. He had probably fired a number of people for it already. He won’t ever change. ---

Here is an article talking about his use of tanning beds and bronzer: . > **[Why Is Donald Trump Orange? Let's Investigate His Permanent Tango Tan](https://graziadaily.co.uk/life/in-the-news/why-is-donald-trump-orange/)** > > Donald Trump's skin shade has long been the source of public debate. Read more on Grazia... As to why he does it: > ‘I feel like something more psychological is happening,’ she claimed. 'When Trump took office in 2017, he was significantly less orange… but as his term wore on, more bronzer was applied. > > ‘The more stressed… the more makeup. And then when out of office, the makeup would only reappear for the cameras. But it was mostly toned down. Then something interesting happened. After Trump’s debate with Biden in June 2024, the makeup all but disappears. When Trump was up in the polls, and a victory was all but certain, the bronzer was gone.’ He has done it most of his life, going back to military school according to some former classmates. > Then there’s also his former military school classmates, who have previously claimed that Trump would plug in an ultraviolet tanning bulb to ‘go to the beach’ (via _[The Washington Post](https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/young-donald-trump-military-school/2016/06/22/f0b3b164-317c-11e6-8758-d58e76e11b12_story.html)_), but early photos of Trump tend to show a much paler man than the one we see today. And yes, he has fired people even for not setting up a tanning bed property. > In her 2018 book _Unhinged_, former aide Omarosa Manigault claimed that Trump fired a staff member for failing to set up a tanning bed at the White House properly. ---

A mixture of pity and schandenfreud for her, although my pity is based on my own voyeurist enjoyment of an ever increasing train wreck. > [@dtilque](#): > > She dug her gold. She needs no pity from anyone else. It is depressingly like a vignette from a modern Brothers Grimm fairytale.
