I don’t know….
Put Trump in a diaper, then let’s see.Report
I was really hoping someone would suggest that! First comment, too. . . great minds and all thatReport
Ivana see that.Report
Wanting to see The Donald in a diaper is an oddly specific and disturbing fetish, guys. I try not to judge, but Do Not Want.Report
Hey, you don’t harsh on my kink, I won’t harsh on yours.Report
Well, you know my preference would be a onesie to see if Donald knows the trick for dealing with his own poonamies.Report
Is it now OK to mock people for their appearance on OT?
Because if so, I’ve got some things to say about Reagan and that 1940s hairdo he wore long after it was out of style. And don’t get me started on the size of Jimmy Carter’s collars.Report
Perhaps it’s splitting hairs (GEDDIT?), but I don’t think of whatever that thing is on Trump’s head as part of his personal “appearance”; it’s more of its own thing or a pet/accessory, like Blofeld’s cat.Report
I do find it amusing that he repeatedly denies that it’s a comb-over or a piece. Own that shit, man.Report
Apparently it is, as this is Zic’s second thread doing so. And people say that i bring down the rarifed intellectual atmoshpere here.Report
Consider this is a safe zone; so long as the politicians being mocked belong to the majority of politicians ever and are not some minority status.
Mock away. Points given for creativity.Report
Boy, that Taft sure looked like a walrus!
It feels good to finally get that off my chest.Report
Pretty sure Johnson didn’t take a shit the entire time he was in office:

I think I’ve seen Tommy Lee Jones make that face.Report
Apparently I am not the first to think so.

All presidents are eventually reincarnated, even the ones who were impeached, usually as entertainers of some sort.Report
I thought Reagan’s hair was pretty awesome.
Anyway, I’m generally reticent to go there (I wrote a post on Christie’s weight), but I think Trump’s hair is fair game because he pretty clearly chose that in a way that can’t be explained but my his own volition. That, in combination with the fact he’s Donald Trump. Neither alone is sufficient, but together…Report
As an aside, I was watching Back to the Future with my son last night, and we saw the scene where 1955 Doc Brown first meets and is quizzing Marty to see if he truly is from the future.
Hmmmm….maybe a Trump presidency isn’t as far-fetched as I thought.Report
Then that episode of Sliders… “The Cleveland Indians won the World Series? Oakland Raiders? OJ Simpson is on trial for murder? I’m afraid we’re in the wrong timeline again, boys.” (paraphrase)Report
Oh, I think the fact that he is Trump is more than sufficient. Like all politicians, he was not unwillingly thrust into the public limelight, he actively sought it, pursued it, and ran it down like the hunters of old. That fact that he did it with his own… panache, just makes it even better.Report
If he had some sort of skin disease, I think that should be off-limits whether a public figure or not. I think it matters whether it’s a thing you chose (hair) or not (skin), even if you’re Donald Trump.Report
Those seem like fair rules to me; particularly after living through the debates about Hillary’s pant suits, head bands, haircuts, etc. etc. etc.Report
Well that’s just common decencyReport
On one of John Oliver’s early shows, he described trump as a clown made of mummified foreskin and cotton candy. I loved that.Report
