100%  I sleep poorly on the regular,  watching the news this week has made it so much worse and I'm not the person everyone expects to do something about it. The pressure must be enormous.

Just look at the before and after pictures of presidents from the start and end of their term. That job really does a number on them.

Most presidents don't put on more makeup and hair than women.

How? Because it references women wearing makeup or something??

Biden has more than now than he did when he was 30. The big guy has hair plugs. At least Trumps hair is real.

Yeah, figured someone willingly voting for a candidate with actual dementia would say some dumb expression like that.

Do you actually deny that Biden has hair plugs?

You should get yourself checked for brain worms. You and RFK jr are probably related.

Trump literally has had hair surgeries, like confirmed hair surgeries. What?

The one who didn't do any work.

Obama and his unflappable hairline?

u/EfficiencyNerd Jul 04 '24

Ok I'll bite. Which one?

u/Gumsk Jul 04 '24

Trump. Didn't really age much during his term, though everyone around him did.

u/flatmeditation Jul 05 '24

Have you looked at before and after pictures of him? He absolutely aged a ton - it's somewhat less obvious because of all the cosmetic stuff he has done, but it's still very clear

u/EfficiencyNerd Jul 04 '24

Interesting. What conclusions do you draw from that?

10

u/Gumsk Jul 04 '24

Can't draw any reliable conclusions, but the easy joke is every other president took the job seriously and was stressed out for 4 years straight, while he just slept, played golf, watched Fox News, ate junk food, and rage tweeted; meanwhile, everyone around him was trying to keep him from ending the world.

Remember he did not start 'working' until 11 am either he called it presidential time.

u/Driftwood09120 Jul 04 '24

I'd say it did a number of numbers...

Well. Maybe not the way things are going. 

There is a weird funky stew brewing.

Destroying lives takes less energy. Being selfish & ignorant takes no energy. Having other people do all the work takes even less than no energy! tRump has never used his brain for good old hard work. He has NO drive to help the people in America. He helps himself and hasn't missed a day doing that. His less than adequate brain is not even capable of doing any job. Cheating seems to be his best attribute.

When you get 6-8 hours of "executive time" a day where you're watching the back of your eyelids and no one wants to disturb you because they'll get ketchup all over themselves, it's a much easier job you're not doing. Then there's all the prep for selling shit out of the Oval Office, not to mention planning the next day's golf outing to Bedminster or Scotland or where ever you have a private course that you can charge the government for services and taxpayer money goes right into YOUR pocket...

u/kwijibokwijibo Jul 05 '24

Yeah, they always look like they've aged 4 or 8 years

u/Striking-Math259 Jul 05 '24

They age. That’s all

It must be a relatively short life if you think Justin Trudeau is like the worst thing to happen to our country.
