[riversedge]

Trump will not admit he is going bald, needs glasses--and what else??


President Trump’s vision is deeply impaired and he refuses to wear corrective lenses in the presence of other people, NYT casually reports halfway down a long feature about his twitter use. https://nytimes.com/interactive/20

1. Don keeps his tweeter in the closet?

New from Ronco... the closet tweeter.

2. Gosh, it'd be a tragic shame if his vanity caused him to miss a step somewhere.

8. Yea

he better hold on to that railing when he is disembarking his plane.

3. Here is pic of trump with his glasses on........

actually, there are quite a few pics on the net with trump wearing glasses........




What a difference 18 holes makes! Trump turns away from the cameras with his glasses on during his trip to the golf course - but gives a huge smile and two thumbs up on his way back to Mar-a-Lago

President Trump left his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida to play golf Friday morning
He turned his face away from reporters as he made a rare appearance in glasses
Despite avoiding the press en route to the golf course, on the way back he removed his glasses to enthusiastically wave and give a thumbs up to crowds

22. That's what he looks like with his mouth shut. nt

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

5. No wonder he can't see what's coming...

Maybe audio clues would work...(sound of slide whistle going down.)

[GusBob]

6. Oh good grief, exaggerate much there twitter guy?

Needing reading glasses is not deeply impaired vision

Nor is it blindness thats plain stupid

[Ms. Toad]

14. My reaction, as well.

My arms are way too short to read a my phone, or even a teleprompter by now without glasses - but I passed the driver's license last year with flying colors. My spouse, in the other hand, is blind as a bat- and has to remove her glasses to read her phone (and holds it about an inch from her nose.

Whoever wrote that article has no clue about age -related far-sightedness.

[GusBob]

15. Nor much knowledge of golfers

Most fanatical golfers, even most duffers, are fussy fussy about their vision take it from me. He may wear contacts or shit he can afford Lasik

And you are right , presbyopia is not considered a vision impairment by any insurance company, motor vehicle, FAA, etc

High myopia ( your spouse) on the other hand

The twitter poster really is doing a disfavor to folks with real vision problems

[dixiegrrrrl]

24. Thank you!!!!!!!

Cannot believe how stupid that news report is.

The guy is 73......vision changes happen to most of us as we get older.
Dunno if he wears contacts for distance, and don't care. He obviously can see to read a teleprompter.
I am sure he manages to make out enough from having the tv on, he's an audio person anyhow.
Him being too vain to be seen with readers on is his problem.

Long as he isn't driving a car with poor vision, it's not an issue.

The insanity that swirls around in his head, THAT's an issue.

7. ". . . and what else??" How about dentures?

The talk about Trump probably having dentures was a topic earlier this year, but the story did not have the teeth to wear on.

[milestogo]

11. Because its not a story.

Plenty of people, young and old, wear dentures.

9. "The President Is Actually Very, Very Smart and Very Well Educated" by Maggie Haberman

Another fine example of Trump apologia, brought to you by the New York Times

[Sugar Smack]

10. I'm so proud we have a Super-Genius as President.

[Skittles]

26. he was upset here because he was being upstaged by an eclipse

and I can HONESTLY say my index finger is longer than his

[KY_EnviroGuy]

12. Doesn't do a thing to correct the asshole part.

KY..........

[tblue37]

13. Why is the same tweet posted 3 times in the OP?

[2naSalit]

16. +1

Been seeing that a lot lately.

[tblue37]

17. It's frustrating, because one has already wasted the time to read each tweet, at least partially,

before being certain that the subsequent ones are not there to provide new information.

[Aristus]

18. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that he doesn't have the skill or coordination to put in contact

lenses.

[smirkymonkey]

19. I don't know why he is so vain. He is uglier than sin.

If he really had any pride he would walk around with a bag over his head. Or actually, one over his entire body for that matter.

Besides, can't he afford corrective laser surgery? Along with a stylist and a decent tailor? He's such a ridiculous slob.

[Totally Tunsie]

20. Really, Dude?

Like glasses are going to make you look any worse...?

[PA Democrat]

21. Well, he just wouldn't be the same stud with glasses!

[Poiuyt]

23. Trump's mind is deeply impaired and he refuses to get a lobotomy.

[Skittles]

25. HE IS SO FUCKING PATHETIC

WHAT A SMALL, PETTY LITTLE MAN HE IS

[greytdemocrat]

27. So?

[NCLefty]

29. Even his Twitter photo looks like he's squinting.

[Kablooie]

30. Oh why can't he just go blind?

And lose all control of his excretory functions.
