I don't give a **** why 45 is aging. I want to know what causes him to age. There's got to be some top notch psychoanalyst out there that knows WHY he's aging. What is it? And how can we accelerate it?

nah I think Trump is probably more stressed than the average president. Sure he's playing a lot of golf and not actually working as much as other presidents but there is also this little Mueller probe that can potentially bring his whole world down. He's probably also super stressed due to whatever Putin has on him.

It's because he wants to turn on any news channel and receive growing praise. He turns on CNN every day hoping it is the day CNN will praise him. Every day just pisses him off more.

Trump's probably not aging as much as him not getting made up like he did on the Apprentice.

Trump seems to have aged more in the last two weeks than the first two years of his presidency.

Second photo has much more definition and detail, making him look older.

Interesting for those in CA. Note that trends in CA are not unlikely to spread to other parts of the country.

lol, best part is those who are delusional to the end:

Not everyone agrees that Trump is the cause for the party’s bottoming out. This week, former state GOP chair Shawn Steel, a member of the Republican National Committee, argued in an op-ed published in the Washington Examiner that “it’s not Trump” who lost Orange County dominance for the party. He laid the blame on millions of dollars in “dark money” raised by Democrats

bahahahahahahahahaha

Makes sense imo; there's dark matter and dark energy, why not dark money?

Trump has to be pretty stressed out being one of the dumbest humans on earth trying to do one of the toughest jobs of earth while having one of the largest egos.

To the guy who posted earlier Trump hasn’t always been really stupid, it’s just senility. I say prove it. There is not a shred of evidence he has ever been anything but one of the dumbest living humans.

Do any of you guys have parents or grandparents you see over the course of the years?

For past presidents like Obama, Bush, and Clinton there is the fact that 8 years is actually quite a long time and people look a lot different after that amount of time.

For trump there is the fact that he’s in his 70s and sometimes people in there 70s go downhill fast physically.

What strikes overseas observers about pics like this is not only how little resemblance Trump has to a president or in fact any kind of politician, with his embarrassingly awful USA hat giving him the appearance of a tourist, but also how oblivious to this he is.

Tourist? That's how the overwhelming majority of his male voters would dress :P

He looks like the kind of tourist I'd engage in light political chat with before ascertaining they are a complete arsehole and giving them duff directions.

I'm not seeing the age thingy anyway. Trump looks as ****ty as he always has. Maybe didn't have enough time to hit the tanning beds.

Right, which is how they dress when they visit countries overseas, which is why to non USA#1ers he looks like their definition of an American tourist.

But now let's say that for some reason all able bodied woman decide that it was extremely important to reach their potential in that race and trained accordingly. Restricting this scenario to those between 20 and 50 for the sake of simplicity, would any of you disagree that more than half of all woman would be able to beat all but perhaps the top 3% of men? (Gonna guess that's about four hours and fifteen minutes if not slower.) Present day men that is, who rarely have the ambition to get good at the marathon.

The same is true regarding adeptness at algebra, probability and basic logic. Even in the unlikely case that certain races were genetically less talented at this stuff, that difference is certainly smaller than the genetic difference in running between men and woman. And given that the aversion among white people, especially Americans, to get good at those three subjects is at least as much as there is to long distance running, it means that any time that a minority group decided that they could surpass white people by concentrating on these subject they could easily do it. I actually would like to get involved in such a project.

Here's a concrete example where your surpassing project is already underway: music made in the USA has been dominated by one particular minority during the last 100 years - blues, jazz, rock and roll, R&B, rap - 4 or 5 major music forms have originated in one minority population.

So there's also bluegrass, country, and probably something else, but backwoods southerm is also a minority.
