My mom used to make this dish in the oven, and I swear it was one of the only ways she could get me to eat anything but turkey and stuffing at Thanksgiving.

She’d take yams or sweet potatoes, slice them into thick disks, caramelize them in butter and sugar, then put a layer of mini marshmallows over the top of it all in a casserole dish and bake it.

After the latest untouched picture of Trump from his recent Las Vegas rally, all I can say is, I’m going back to stuffing. Because he looked like about three scoops of my mom’s candied casserole, and I think it’s thrown me off it forever.

After MeidasTouch.com editor Ron Filipkowski posted the picture on X, other commenters were less generous with their assessments.

“I am sorry but the orange makeup makes him look like a drag queen,” said one person. Another asked, “He’s so orange there are we sure he’s not engaged in the cultural appropriation of various members of the citrus fruit community?”

Hey, at least we’re back to food comparisons.

But most people just went straight to contemplating what the heck it is he puts on his face. We’ve wondered for a long time. But he must really be getting worried about looking old since Kamala stepped into the race.

“Looks like he’s slathering on that bronzer with a paint brush now,” quipped an astute observer. “Oh there’s more than bronzer in that. I’m going with some foundation with formaldehyde as a base,” added another.

Some were highly specific in their evaluations: “It looks like he uses 1″ 3M Scotch® Exterior Surface Painter’s Tape 2097 to make a fake tan line an exact inch in front of his hairline.”

During the actual event, users even speculated about the setting he’d chosen, with one saying “I think Donald is at Olive Garden.” Quick to get in on the joke, another user said “I really want to hate on Donald, but I also really like endless breadsticks.”

It’s not like this is all of the disgustingness that’s surrounded the Trump campaign in the last week. He was briefly given a bump when Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. gave up on his independent run at the Oval Office and endorsed Donald instead.

That was short-lived when the public caught wind of the time Kennedy cut off a whale’s head and strapped it to his car with the windows down, spraying his kids with whale juice every time he hit a bump on his way home to mount the head on his wall.

I wonder if any trophy hunter would ever display Trump’s head if he keeled over from the weight of his makeup.
