Vain Trump Yells at His Staff to ‘Turn Off the Cameras’ Because They Were Showcasing His Bad Combover

IT'S NOT LIKE NOBODY'S NOTICED IT YET, DONALD.

During a rally in Michigan, his first since the “assassination attempt” in Pennsylvania, Trump stopped mid-show to complain about a bad camera angle.

Now, we all know he’s conceited. But if he had an ounce of common sense, he’d know that he could just embrace his flaws and wear a suit that doesn’t look like it belonged to a Sasquatch, or ease up on the bronzer, or for God’s sake, get a haircut.

It’s not like he’d lose a single voter. Nobody on this green earth voted for Donald Trump because he looked like a model.

Maybe it’s all those years of being rich, and therefore attractive to women who think wealth makes a man attractive. But Mick Jagger knows he never had sex with a groupie because he looked like the muscle-bound hero on the cover of a romance novel. Benedict Cumberbatch looks like a cat’s butthole, and he could bed anyone he wanted to.

But the fact that Trump has said to women’s faces that they wouldn’t even have the JOBS they have — reporter, host of a show, etc. — without their looks means that he actually DOES think that he’s good-looking. I mean, maybe he’s just holding women to a different standard and thinks all mean are entitled to be treated like an Adonis, but he has to know that he’s goofy.

So when he stopped his rally abruptly to tell his staff to turn off some cameras that were showing a bad angle of his hair, I thought, “Hey, maybe he’s finally acknowledging a physical shortcoming!”

Nope.

It was mere seconds before he reversed course on his hair looking bad, and turned to the screen with that angle and called it a “work of art.”

“You know, I have to just interject… If you would turn off those cameras, cause I don’t want this… See the screen up there of me? That’s very severe, that combover. That’s a severe sucker! What’s with that one? It looks okay from the other side [audience laughs]… But that is very severe! I apologize. Man! I looked up there, I said “Whoa!” Look at that. Wow. That’s like a work of art!”

See how he almost sounds like he’s going to say something negative about himself for real this time, then just switches it up?

Responses were swift from social media. “He’s so vain,” said one user. “That is possibly the only moment in Donald’s life when he’s shown any self-awareness,” said another.

Don’t hold your breath for his next bout of self-awareness.
