I was gonna say, he looks like he aged more this summer and fall than he did his entire presidency. And that's incredible, 4 years in a super stressful job should age you a bit.

What the hell is stressing him out so much that a few months he's gone grey and leathery?

Assassination attempts will do that to a man that's afraid of stairs.

Pending sentences and the weight of inevitably.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 9 points 6 hours ago

What's super stressful about playing golf all the time?

[–] WhatYouNeed@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Melina doesn't want to fuck him anymore as he is being fucked by someone else.

The Dept of Justice.

Freud would have had a field day with that.

Fentanyl-related offenses should receive the death penalty, but it's completely fine to just sell opioids to millions of people for decades and possibly cause a societal meltdown in the process because that's just being a smart businessman or something.

Abolish capital punishment. We're better than that.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 hours ago

Can I continue to advocate for the vigilante killing of Musk and ilk? Because I am not better than that, its what my ancestors wouldve wanted actually my ancestors wouldve put him in a ditch for being stupid and English but thats besides the point.

I have smart children...I would always tell them, no drugs

Doesn't seem like Jr got the message.

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 59 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

"can I have a pony???". "No, drugs."

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 19 points 12 hours ago

Some real Lionel Hutz "no, money down" vibes there.

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 17 points 12 hours ago

I have smart children...I would always tell them, ~~n~~do drugs

[–] morphballganon@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

I don't think Jr was the only one.

[–] Num10ck@lemmy.world 5 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Trump would've benefitted from more drugs.

if prescribed by a psychiatrist, certainly - but I hear NPD is ~~untreatable~~ difficult, but treatable.

his street coke aint working.

edit: correction.

[–] kofe@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Please be mindful of the misinformation here. NPD is nuanced and difficult to treat, as with any personality disorder, but it is absolutely possible.

[–] qprimed@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 hour ago

important point taken. thank you.

[–] Num10ck@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

maybe some offline time with DMT and no mirrors would be a start.

[–] qprimed@lemmy.ml 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I am not sure anything can kill that ego. :-/

I hear the French have a device that will take care of things right quick.

[–] Baggins@feddit.uk 1 points 5 hours ago
