President Trump went on a Twitter tear Saturday — retweeting an embarrassing picture of himself and ridiculing the Democratic Party for its troubles in the Iowa caucus and his impeachment acquittal.
“This was photoshopped, obviously,” Trump wrote over a photo that revealed the obvious limits of his fake facial tan. Several versions of the snap had been making the rounds on social media.
“The wind was strong and the hair looks good?” he continued. “Anything to demean!”
Earlier, the president needled the Democrats with a quote from Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-Mich.), who told Fox News on Friday that “This has been, in my whole career, one of the worst weeks ever.”
“She could have had a much better week if Crazy Nancy, who is the most overrated person in politics (going to lose the House a second time), didn’t bring the phony & corrupt Impeachment Hoax,” Trump commented in response.

Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.
And he could stand to drop a few pounds too. For the same reason. Look what "nicely toned arms" did for Moochelle Obunga.
I’m so sick of the middle-school sniiping going on in DC.
Thank God you are not him.
Not on your best day.
Article says, “several versions of the pic are circulating...”.
Several versions? So Trump is correct, it must be photo shopped.
Doesn’t matter what he looks like, or whether the pic is photoshopped or legit, as long as he keeps America on the right path forward.
We elected a president, not a fashion model.
Although we got the model, too. It’s just not him.
There’s a color one and a b&w one, both released by the White House. My dude has a weird orange spray tan, and that’s just the troof.
I don’t believe Trump operates from a plan as much as instincts, and this is a great example of how our political world is working out for those instincts.
Since the 1990’s, the goal of politics and political journalism was to “win” the news cycle. Keep the media talking about the things you want them to be talking about and prevent the opponent from talking about the things they want to talk about.
The Democrats thought they would get a “win” with impeachment, maybe not by ousting the president, but by spinning the outcome as a smear on republican senators. Nancy Pelosi thought she would get a “win” by tearing up a government document on live TV. The Democrats and individual democratic candidates thought they would get good press from the Iowa Caucuses and Democrat debate ahead of the New Hampshire primary. Friday comes and they smell blood in the water with LTC Vindman getting removed from his position.
Finally, this unflattering photo (or modified photo... I don’t care and it really doesn’t matter) appears. The Twitter universe thinks it finally has a win this week and can talk about how dumb he looks. Instinctually, Trump runs into the fray and compliments himself. Now Democrat political campaigns who are trying to get attention and build momentum are fighting for public attention with a meme for another news cycle and his opponents have to act even more unhinged to get the attention away from him. Trump’s instincts keep anyone from landing a square blow on him, highlight the faults of his opponents, and keep his opponents from highlighting their own messages, other than “orange man bad”, which we already knew was their position. At the end of all these attempts, the only thing they ever come away with is that one message, and it’s a loser.
Trump doesn’t give a hoot what people think of him or say of him. That’s one reason why he’s so effective.
If I were him, I’d reply to every one of these snarks by saying “Yeah, and I sleep with a supermodel every night, too!”
All the Dimms are really capable of doing is REACTING to him.
Found this...........
It is well documented, by the official presidential physician’s report, that President Trump has the skin condition called Rosacea.
It is common amongst fair skinned people of Scots/Irish and Germanic descent.
Depending on the severity and age of the person, it can appear as red rashes, raised bumps, overall ruddy appearance on the face, neck, chest.
It also can be very uncomfortable causing severe burning or itching. Hot temperatures, spicy or hot foods, stress and sunlight cause flare ups.
Severe cases migrate into the eyes and can interfere with vision. Trump is documented as taking an oral medication for rosacea as well as a prescription topical anti-inflammatory cream, which is usually tinted a tan/flesh toned color.
The shaming, ridiculing and visual exaggeration of a documented medical condition by so-called enlightened and compassionate people is disgusting and reprehensible.
Oh stop
Hasn’t used it since 2016
Maybe you should lose a few pounds
