It’s like a makeup artist had to put it on while he was asleep and couldn’t reach that side.

Please stop posting photos of this man. He is SOOOOOOOOOO UGLY!!! He is hideous. I need to keep my food down. Looking at images of him literally makes me gag.

He does his own face. Somewhere I read about how he has to have one full and one partially full bottle of the stuff in his bedroom wherever he goes. Funny nobody has ever identified the brand or the shade.

Funny that he doesn't get Melania or her team's help with this because her makeup and color are usually flawless.

I think his knowledge of the life lived by farmers is largely based on “Green Acres.” Fresh air and one of the Gabor sisters — sounds like easy street! Gas prices, tariffs, interest rates, fertilizer shortages, climate change — in his view, that’s all just fakestream media trying to bum us all out.

Anonymous wrote:From a local reporter in Wisconsin, re the event yesterday

I'm not gonna lie, this has been a rough 24 hours for me... and as much as people don't like to hear about politics, I still consider it to be public service — and watching it constantly get shit on... all the way up to the president of the United States... is just demoralizing sometimes.
What I'm referring to specifically is how the president of the United States is covered by media of all types. They're just so blatantly, willfully deceitful in helping cover up that our country is ruled by someone who is incapable of clear thought, honesty, actual policy, and personal responsibility. He says things that would have triggered continuous coverage about its lack of truthfulness and his mental state if said by any other president. But for this guy, they just let it go because, “that’s how he is.”
I don't normally subject myself to those presidential monologues that ramble on for more than an hour. But I had to make an exception Friday because he was right down the road at an event billed as a "roundtable discussion" about farming.
It was anything but that. This tired, cranky old man told lie after lie, insult after insult... not even the sharp and witty kind, just the juvenile garbage. The only times he ever actually talked about agriculture policy was when he was obviously reading off a sheet of paper... his home base whenever he realizes he's come too far off-topic. After a sentence or two, we've departed the station and are back aboard an incoherent train of narcissism and grievance.
And everybody that covers it pretends it didn't sound like that.
I was going to outline it all for you. I went through the 14-page transcript, but my corrections and observations got to be six pages long, so instead I offer you some highlights that ANY news story could have/should have noted:
1) The untrue claim about how much China is purchasing in soybeans. 2) His lie about the estate tax, which no longer touches a single family farm. (“I saved 2 million farms.” Dude, there aren’t 2 million farms in the whole country.) 3) His claim about giving farmers $28 billion in his first term, not mentioning that it was a taxpayer funded bailout made necessary by his tariffs. 4) His dismissiveness of affordability as “a made-up word,” even though he ran and won on that issue. 5) His continued claims about election rigging that he uses to justify a voter suppression bill.
Little to none of this showed up in the coverage I've seen so far.
"But Pat, there was coverage of the protesters."
Not the point. Protesters aren't there to do your job. Your job is to report factually, which is not the same as stenography. If someone, especially the president, isn't telling the truth or the full story, it is on you to help your audience understand the full measure of an event or an issue. That's not political. That's f'ing journalism.
Okay, this is getting long but I have to give you one more.
6) There’s a lot of good about the “right to repair” legislation that loosens corporate requirements that say everyone, farmers included, can only use certain parts or services. But this guy goes on to brag about pardoning a diesel mechanic who got prison time “because he got caught fixing his car or his truck.”
In reality, he pardoned a man in Wyoming who was convicted for violating the Clean Air Act because he disabled the computerized diagnostic exhaust systems on at least 344 heavy-duty commercial trucks. 344 trucks! He was a one-man wrecking ball to everything we’ve done for the past 50 years to clean up industrial pollution — not someone who “got caught fixing his truck.”
I'm basically begging any reporter to write a follow-up story about this one because it's so easy and shows you give a damn about holding a politician accountable for something. Just administer the usual test: If Biden said it... reporters would cover that claim like white on rice.
I’ve spent too much time on this, but only because I can’t keep bottling it up. The president of the United States is widely recognized as not being Mother Teresa. And he seems to have acquired a permanent pass for a lifetime of unethical, immoral and criminal conduct. Fine. But how about if we cover the guy TODAY the way we would cover any other guy today who fills a speech with demonstrable lies and puts very troubling character flaws on display?
Stop making it all look normal, like it's just another policy speech.
“Unflappable in face of headwinds, Trump draws loyal Wisconsin crowd” the headline read.
It’s so infuriatingly irresponsible.
