The please Trump plastic surgery look..

This seems to be common in the Trumposphere.

In the early morning hours of January 28, as dozens of Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers arrived in New York to round up undocumented immigrants, a shimmering Kristi Noem appeared in the Bronx. She wore a bulletproof vest and a baseball cap, but also dramatic makeup and hair coiled to show off a set of pearl earrings. “We are getting the dirtbags off these streets,” the new Homeland Security secretary said in a three-second clip she posted to social media.

The operation seemed designed for maximum coverage, despite actual goals achieved. (While Trump officials claim operations round up felons, many of the migrants arrested by ICE so far have no criminal record.) Still, Noem would later tell CBS News that the raid was not about creating a “spectacle.” Instead, she said the government simply sought “transparency.” But was that all? Here was a top-ranking Trump appointee asserting the absence of performance after a theatrical show of force. That Noem tagged along for the predawn crackdown in the full glam of a Real Housewife made the claim even more absurd.

1. Transparency? So far, we have no idea whom they're deporting and no idea what the grounds are as opaque as you can get.

Oh and Kristi people are not dirtbags. They are human beings. Puppies aren’t dirtbags either. What in hell ever happened to the morality in these people.

This pathology is now considered the norm in Trump world.
Nasty criminals are the only group the GOP likes.

These are very wealthy people, walking around with what we used to call "bad facelifts."

I'm guessing that Trump likes the look - he has atrocious taste - so people are deliberately disfiguring themselves to get in with Trump.

The plastic surgery, hair extensions, clown make up.
It is the look Trump loves.

Women humiliate themselves looking like the Trump Tramps.

necessity, such as reconstructive surgery after a bad car accident. Many of these women who are having this done are taking what might be considered a pleasant looking or even pretty face and turning it ugly. They look awful.
He really wants them all to look like his daughter, ivanka.
