Honestly if you are running for president you are more than likely out of touch with real Americans. It takes a lot of money to run, and even though anyone can do it there really is a pay wall in the way to run a national campaign against millions and millions of dollars in special interest groups and PACS Not to say it impossible just more than likely no presidential candidate is also living paycheck to paycheck
Yeah it's clear how miserable he is, he's on a gigantic toy lion any kid would love to have, but he's dressed in an uncomfortable suit and posed well away from his parents who are both looking at the camera and closed off from him in terms of body language.
That just struck me as so pathetic. Like, he's so desperate to appear rich. He thinks that's what rich kids have. Which is bizarre, because wasn't he a rich kid himself??
You liberals are so crazy with this shit. It’s totally unfair to compare the two. Saddam Hussein killed way fewer Americans and by all accounts never fucked his daughter or some pageant kids.
Not to mention Pelosi with her portfolio of real estate. She, with her husband, owns some $200 mln and they made some good buck for example selling their Apple stock juuust before an antitrust action against the company. Politicians are not your friends, no matter if they smile nicely
That family photo says a lot about the family in question. Most family photos fit nicely in an 8x10, but this asshat needed a wide angle shot to keep the kid as far away as possible.
Trump as a sneering smirk, Melania is posing as a model, and Barron being on a toy most kids would kill for looks so fucking miserable while being several feet away from his parents.
I remember G. Bush the 1st going shopping (at JC Penny) to show he was "in touch". He bought a package of underwear, and was amazed when the cleck scanned the price code. He had never seen a price scanner before.
Years ago Bill Gates was on a talk show, the host asked him a couple of questions about prices of common items his answer for one banana was $5.00 ..this was in early 2000’s . Yup completely out of touch of common people
I do remember a story about an interview with Barbara Bush as he was leaving office, and they asked her about his plan for “driving away” after the inauguration. She said she wasn’t getting in the car with him because he hadn’t driven himself anywhere in 30 years.

Republicans are also shameless fucking liars, though.
KleptoKea
The only reason Republicans still have leaders in power is because enough Americans vote for and elect them, and that is something to be ashamed of.

To be fair, the trump family has a lot in common with their base: they're all fucking idiots

I mean, yeah, but we're waaaay past this point now. Remember selling secrets and instigating a coup? Well that's where the pressing issues are now.

And to think this son of a bitch STILL took a salary as president. What a lowlife

It does look like a DALL-E discard. But she always looks like one of those.

It's the plastic surgery. She was actually fairly attractive when she was younger, but that's not good enough for the idiot she married.

The difference is, we don't claim he's in touch. He was not a good choice, just the choice that wasn't literal fascism

Everything in that photo is showing off a trophy for him. They aren't family, they're property.

When Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf retired, he ran out of gas on the interstate - twice. When you're a general, the gas tank is always magically full.

Whatever history lesson includes this information is one I wish to participate in.

Not true at all. The NYT purposefully fed the narrative with an innocent picture that Bush was out of touch. The AP even called the NYT out on it but the fable persists. https://apnews.com/article/george-hw-bush-north-america-us-news-newspapers-politics-61f29d10e27140b0b108d8e12b64b839
