At a recent public event, Donald Trump gave photographers an unexpected instruction. He looked toward the cameras and made a blunt request about his appearance.
"Make me look thin for once, you're making me look a bit heavy," Trump said.

The comment was brief, but it did not go unnoticed.
Omg that's his biggest concern, he needs to look in the mirror. Who's the piggy? He has paint varnish on his face; he's also a reckless fascist thug! A threat to global security!

Eats nothing but McDonald's and hates exercise, but is surprised that he always looks fat.

Maybe you should lose some weight, then.

Before making the comment about his appearance, Trump shifted gears, scanning the room and calling out a familiar name from the press pool. He singled out New York Times photographer Doug Mills and began praising him loudly.
"Pulitzer Prize! Pulitzer Prize! He got one for the bullet," Trump said, referencing Mills' award winning photo.
He followed that praise with a sharp contrast.
"I don't like the people back there as much," Trump added, gesturing toward other journalists.
This was not the first time Trump has complained about how he looks in photos. Last year, he erupted over a low angle image published by TIME magazine. He said the photo made his hair look strange and accused the outlet of making him look bad on purpose.
"They 'disappeared' my hair, and then had something floating on top of my head that looked like a floating crown, but an extremely small one," Trump wrote at the time.
"Really weird! I never liked taking pictures from underneath angles, but this is a super bad picture and deserves to be called out," he added.
That outburst now reads like a preview.

Arvo..being less orange would be better, but there again..😁
but that color contrasts best with bovine fecal material in most all stages of decomposition ...

True. I made the mistake of eating at McDonalds a few weeks ago because it was the only thing nearby on a long drive. Hadn’t eaten there for probably 20 years. The fries tasted like they were cooked in motor oil, but the sloppily made quarter pounder at least tasted good (though clearly not a quarter pound). Got back on the road and had to stop ten minutes later to deal with the endless diarrhea it gave me. Never again. Plus it was stupidly expensive.
Arvo... wouldn't eat Macca's crap if you paid me..but I guess sometimes as in your case if it's the only thing around..🤢
Their coffee isn't to bad, but I don't eat the supposed food..in my entire life I have eaten Macca's twice..
Once when we came out of Russia and we were desperate for half decent food and went to a Macca's in Germany and once here...
That was enough for me..
I think they switched over to kangaroo meat many years ago ...
not a lot of examples of that in the UK, with fish and chips as the exception, maybe ...
Nothing wrong with roo..

Backwater..🤣🤣 we always think Seppos are fine in their place, but we just can't keep the dunny door shut..🐨

The eternal question:
Honey do these jeans make me look fat?
He can't complain about this. They made him look a whole lot thinner than he really is for this picture.

Yes.
