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.

MODERATORS
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.
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 His base subconsciously sees themselves in him all the better when he wears his baggy outdated men's wearhouse sack over his depends.
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.)
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.
What's the saying... You can't use logic to reason people out of beliefs that they didn't use logic to get themselves into?
How could there could possibly be moderates at this point. People who are like... Hmm, I better wait until the next debate or I'm still thinking about it. We already know what we're going to get... With both guys!
If you haven't been paying attention for this long then this is one time when you should probably not show up to vote.
There's always swing voters mate.
"Moderates" in this election are just people who don't care about the issues. Like they think all politicians are crooks and don't pay attention to the news. Maybe they lean one way but don't like what their candidate is doing right now.
Forget about moderates. You have to turn out your base. Why do you think Biden is doing this "mea culpa" thing building a pier in Gaza? It looks good to his base, probably not too risky to American soldiers. Costs little because all that equipment and those soldiers are just training anyway. It's actually very smart.
Honestly delivering food is great training for the military: it's hard, achievable, and the end result is good vibes. Plus it makes both Israel and Hamas look like dicks.
That's not nearly enough money.
They are going up against billionaires paying for free busing and events to fringe supporters. Hell, they have spent way over that busing the poorest migrants all the way from Texas to New York. There's a lot of money being spent to turn the US into a completely corrupt oligarchy, and it's way more than $50 million and even the 500-400 million that Trump owes, all coming from the business empires making their record profits from screwing people.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
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.
The plan is to target “moderate Republican” and Republican-leaning voters in swing states with videos.
The ads featuring the former Trump voter testimonials will be deployed on TV, streaming platforms, billboards, radio and digital media.
“Former Republicans and Republican-leaning voters hold the key to 2024, and reaching them with credible, relatable messengers is essential to re-creating the anti-Trump coalition that made the difference in 2020,” Longwell, the president of the group’s Republican Accountability PAC, said in a Tuesday statement.
“It establishes a permission structure that says that — whatever their complaints about Joe Biden — Donald Trump is too dangerous and too unhinged to ever be president again.
“The peaceful transfer of power is one of the defining pieces of our democracy, and I could not believe that someone I had formerly supported would get behind an effort that would throw that under the bus … There is no choice.”
The original article contains 372 words, the summary contains 177 words. Saved 52%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
This year is going to be entertaining. Republicans vs republicans.
Last time that happened, trump won
Fair enough really.
gee. thanks.
$50 million when they could do it for $5
