Donald Trump, the thinnest, skinned man in America is whining about Fox News allegedly, intentionally using unappealing and unattractive photos of him in their broadcast. So on Truth Social, early this morning, he wrote the following, three people in New Hampshire asked me why Fox News uses such horrible pictures of me when doing or promoting a story. The coloring, distortions, everything is just so bad. Because he's a

model in real life. And so they use the unflattering photos of him to lie to us all about the way he actually looks. Well, even then, you have to work to make those make them look bad because the raw material is almost unassailable. Like, you know what, we might be guilty too. I haven't seen a single attractive photo of Donald Trump. Look at that. I mean,

look, but honestly, that is... We did do him dirty there. Let's keep it real. We did do him dirty. That was Getty, did him dirty. Damn Getty. Let me give you the rest. He says they must sit and look at 100 different shots and then take the 10 absolute worst. My staff has even complained about it for months, but to no avail. Fox News just, can

you freaking imagine? Can you imagine being the former president of the United States, hitting up your staff to hit up your up, Fox News, to complain about the images they're using of you? Imagine a moment doing this. I just, I can't. I can't. I love this. And I don't, is it not obvious why I love this? I don't mean just because the buzzard. It's because if

we are to believe that what he is saying is true, not about whether they're doing it, but that three people came up to a new hamster. And his staff is complaining for months. The world that apparently exists is every day Donald Trump has people coming up to him saying, you look like hell in that picture, man. They are ruining you. Look at this thing. You look

terrible. I've never hoped that one of Trump's bleats is true. It's as much as I do right now. It's 1000% alive. Not a single person has approached him to say, like, Hey, bro, I think Fox News is intentionally using unflattering images of you. If I ever meet him, I will. I will point it out. You know what? Good. Good. You're an American hero. I've seen. He

likes it. So he also says, this is the craziest part of his post. We're really bearing the lead here. He says, Fox is just bad news, but I'm leading in the polls by record numbers. So perhaps their bull is just not working. They are down 37% for a reason. Is he alleging that people have soured on Fox News because Fox is not using flattering images of

him? Could it be he said crazier things today? That's true. But could it be that the departure of Tucker Carlson played a role? So I love the idea that the solution to their Tucker problems is just Photoshop, like really hot thirst traps of Trump. Just wall to wall. Like him showing like sweat, beaded abs. And people are like, I don't even miss Tucker, man. That's hot.

You know those stories that we've done in the past featuring like Trump NFTs and how he's like just ripped in every single one of those? Do you think Trump genuinely sees him? Like you know how there's body dysmorphia? Yeah. Do you think he might have the reverse of that where he looks in the mirror? And he sees the like six pack and like the body anamorphia?

Maybe. Yeah, he sees himself as a hot cat. I wish I had that. Like, why can't we have that? Some people have that. Yeah, does he? Yeah, probably. Yeah, well, the standards are lower. It's easier. Does he actually see himself as very conventional attractive? I don't know. He's got to at least a little bit. And the reason is he obviously is a very, very vain person.

I think that we all understand that. He is very interested in women. He desperately wants women to be attracted to him. He desperately wants to be seen as a vial, viral, vigorous alpha man. And yet for decades, he has done seemingly nothing to make that happen. He has the fake hair or whatever. And he tans his face. But aside from that, he has never asked anyone

12/26

for style advice. He's never asked anyone, hey, or soon it's supposed to be tailored. Like never. And don't talk about my suit. I don't have much money. And I've got a lot of weight. But anyway, like he doesn't, he could hire Marvel trainers. No, no, you guys train him. He doesn't do any of the stuff you would do. I know you guys, some of you frown

on elective cosmetic surgeries. I totally understand that. I disagree with you. And I think that wealthy people have an obligation to us all to always look good. They have the resources for it. Like what they do. And by the way, you don't even have to go so far as to get elective surgery. They have the money, the resources for trainers for personal chefs. They could go

get a massage and a facial multiple times a week. And it wouldn't break the bank. Okay. I mean, I would try all sorts of like, you know, cutting edge beauty treatments at the spa. Like why not? Why not? Oh, it's a $500 facial. Why not? I'm a allegedly a billionaire, right? It is weird. It's weird. Like you might think, well, why does he have to do

15/26

that? Well, no, I don't think that they're all obligated to be proud or whatever. But like, but he is the person who projects himself in that way. Joe Biden doesn't give us any reason to believe that he thinks that he's hot or whatever. Bernie Sanders clearly doesn't care if people think he's attractive. But Trump has always desperately wanted that approval. And so it's so weird to

have the massive gap between his obvious need for this attention and his complete lack of interest and actually pursuing it. So, LeKey didn't clarify which specific images or photos he was talking about. But we went through some recent Fox clips that used B-roll of Donald Trump. Great work, Kate. And overall, they didn't use particularly terrible pictures of him because most pictures of him are particularly terrible.

So let's watch. Audio emerging of President Trump allegedly discussing highly confidential documents detailing a blueprint for a possible attack on Iran. The tape is now being used as evidence in the special counsel's indictment over Trump's handling of classified information. It's also important to note that, you know, these indictments always read to defense counsel as horrific documents. Every time every case I've ever had when I've read

18/26

the indictment, my heart is just sunk. You know, John, I'm beginning to think that it's not about the images that they decided to use. I have a feeling that it's more about the content of those broadcasts. Could it be that former President Donald Trump doesn't take kindly to any news coverage about the criminal indictments that he's dealing with? Could it be? I could be wrong. It's

possible that they shot him from his unflattering side, which is outside where there's light. I actually think, based on the last photo I thought, if I were him, I wouldn't like that. But other than that, those were above average images of Donald Trump. And they shared like several things in common. They're all good photos, I think fairly objectively. Good saturation, good lighting, and all that. But

20/26
This sectionLinkBookmarkComment

they're also all quite zoomed out. The issue with Trump, and look, this is true of, you know, a lot of people, just a little bit of arms reach, you know, closer you get, it's rougher. These cameras are very powerful, so getting really close to Trump's skin. It only gets better as he gets closer. No, it's a close-ups that are rough. I think that this, I think

21/26
This sectionLinkBookmarkComment

it's just unfair to say that Fox News is trying to make it look bad. I'm not being sarcastic anymore. They're not doing that. People do that, they're not doing that. But look, we are going to give him a little, at least I am going to give him a little bit of credit, or at least lend a little bit of merit to his argument here. If he's

specifically talking about Fox and Friends, because they used a sequence of photos of Trump. So let's take a look at that, and then you tell me if you change your mind. They're angry about the education system right now, in terms of what they're teaching we talked about, the test scores, because we're focusing on letters and LGBTQI plus 2S and race. No, it's pretty bad. There wasn't

a single, like those were like every photo is like mouth is open. Those are worse. Yeah, it's not necessarily that they're specifically trying to make them look bad, but why are you basically taking a still frame from a video? Like that's like in motion. You don't need to do that. You have access to the exact same bureaus or as to Fox News. Look at that picture.

Yeah, that's not a great photo. That's a weird expression. I think he could take a little bit of, a little bit of issue. However, he is making a strong claim against Fox, implying that they're effectively sort of defaming him in terms of his appearance. No, come on. And I want to defend Fox News. And I'm going to do that tomorrow on the damage report. And the

25/26
This sectionLinkBookmarkComment

way that I'm going to defend them is I am going to show Donald Trump the photos they could use if they wanted to destroy him. And they're not using those. So I think this will be a strong defense. Tune into the damage report. Sharon Reed will be joining us. All right, I love it. Thanks for watching the Young Turks. Really appreciated. Another way to show support
