I may have figured out why trump* thinks he looks young and vibrant

Is it possible that someone, and I'm not going to guess WHO (Melania) had a full length 'fun house' mirror installed in his bathroom?

Just a guess, but I think it's as good an explanation as any.

I'm at that weight and I definitely call "bullshit" to Trump's claim of 239, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that he's lying his ass off about his weight.

But somehow I think Melatonia wants nothing to do with the bloated old pus bag and only makes the required arm candy appearances as required by her contract.

There was one of those in the ladies' locker room at the gym I used. It made everyone look elongated. I laughed.

That's probably why he's hiding his medical records, he's in bad health, and its showing now.

It's his behavior. My mother died of Alzheimer's, and I see a whole lot of familiar behaviors.

Every morning he stands in front of it and chants, "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the studliest of all?" And the mirror, wanting to keep its job, obediently says, "You are, Mr. President!" but laughs hysterically after he leaves the room and starts wondering how it could go about applying for a better job, maybe at an old movie stars' home in Hollywood.

who thought she was a gorgeous, little 18 year old. (She lived in the room next to the lady who would only eat lima beans and cucumbers. It was an interesting place.) I think Don's delusions are just that . . . delusions. He's bonkers.
