    I get that this image has been manipulated to make him look worse, but not by much.

    It’s insane he doesn’t see how bad he looks. In normal pictures he looks like a reverse orange raccoon, and he thinks that’s a good look.

    Like, it’s so sad nobody in his circle can tell him how bad he always looks. They glaze him to the point he thinks he’s fucking Adonis.

    Absolutely sad. And even more sad that the rest of us see how sad this is. I’d much rather see reality and be poor than look like a sad clown on the world stage.

    I’d feel very bad for him and others like him (Elon, several celebrities) except I just can’t, and I couldn’t live with myself knowing how I look like an utter buffoon in front of everyone. But these fuckers have no empathy.

    e: accidentally cut part of a sentence

      Not by me.

        The bottom one. He’s pretty orange, but the contrast was clearly boosted to make him look even more orange than usual.

        Also the top one. His lips never open that wide.

        It is though. Only a bit, but you can’t get that orange even using the orange concealer he uses wrong.

        Fun fact, btw: it’s not spray tan. The real story is much sadder. It’s a certain brand of concealer he buys in bulk, because way back in his the Apprentice days, a talented makeup artist made him look far, far better on camera than he looked in the mirror, and he asked her how she made him look so good.

        According to an interview she later gave, she explained her whole routine. It seems he stopped listening after her fist few sentences, though, because from then on he began buying the first step she used (a certain orange concealer) and just slathering it all over his face as the one and only step.

        Some of his previous maids have confirmed this, and some have said he goes through shirts like no one else because the concealer stains like crazy. It’s not meant to be used that way, you’re supposed to use it sparingly underneath foundation, powder, etc. he uses it alone and in copious amounts.

        Spray tan or bronzer would at least make some sense. The real story is worse.

        He is that inattentive and stupid.
