However, Matt Gaetz is a pedophile and I'm sure he was trying to make himself look younger so he could prey on little girls. Fortunately, he only made himself look more creepy.

Trump's speech was like a scene in that movie where the Joker uses makeup to look like a normal person, but the makeup gradually wears off to reveal the deranged clown he is.

Another comparison was made the version in The Dark Knight, where the Joker attempts to "prove" that deep down everyone is just as depraved as him, which is exactly what the MAGAddled believe. Let's make November the proof that, no, "you're alone!"

Guessing in the year where people are focused on 'looks old' instead of has a great track record, even not old pols are gonna be trying to capture their teen look. That or Matt is having trouble picking up teen aged girls now.

WHY should President Biden recognize him? I wish I didn't know who this pedoophile is.

Then the eyebrows got threaded and injections of Botox and Juvederm followed, with some plumper added to his lower lip.

The plastic surgeon must have been running a special.

It certainly gives that certain artificial look.
It gets rid of wrinkles but many get addicted to it and do multiple treatments that give that shiny plastic appearance and also do the pouted lips treatment while they are at it.
I would rather see a gracefully aged look and not think, wow, that face and those lips might just pop if you touch it.
