MODERATORS
 

An anti-Trump Republican group is planning to spend $50 million in a campaign to stop the former president from winning a second term in the White House.

Republican Voters Against Trump plans to share testimonial videos of Trump’s past backers who will share why they won’t be supporting the former president come November.

The campaign is orchestrated by Sarah Longwell, a Republican strategist who has long been critical of Trump. The plan is to target “moderate Republican” and Republican-leaning voters in swing states with videos. The group had a similar strategy in 2020, when they shared more than 1,000 testimonials during an election that President Biden won.

You would think a billionaire could afford a makeup artist that could blend that terrible foundation/spray tanner a little better. Not that he needs it, but the thumbnail makes him look like a sad clown. I hope he's as sad as he looks.

at this point, it's 100% intentional. it's part of his brand. Like the shitty poorly fit ties (that are kept in place by fucking scotch tape.)

No, he really thinks he looks great. This man has never shown anything like self awareness.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

Yes. That’s why he does it.

It’s still part of his branding.

Holy fuck this is genius and hilarious. His base subconsciously sees themselves in him all the better when he wears his baggy outdated men's wearhouse sack over his depends.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 5 months ago

It looks like he's wearing someone else's face.

I'm sure all the good ones quit and he uses spray tan on the recommendation of someone who's business card says "tarot reading/tanning specialist/crystal healer/hair stylist".

He probably has the same hairstylist as Ghoulianni as well.

I've got a couple of airbrushes, I'd be happy to paint a couple of racing stripes or something on him free of charge. (Not like he'd pay anyway.)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

I'd paint a 'pinwheel.'

see how long it takes for people to notice.

I read somewhere that he does his own makeup every morning. Too lazy to find sources though so don't listen to me.
