It’s hard to imagine Trump appearing in an even more sinister light than we already seen him in naturally. But under a vengeful God, all things are possible, and we now have photographic evidence of a time before the Donald assumed his current form.

After this photo, people are wondering if Trump is losing patience with Elon Musk

Way back in 2019, when the nation was still in the throes of Trump’s first (and hopefully only) term in office, Trump visited a Virginia pastor’s church to pray for the victims of the Virginia Beach shooting. To do so, he made a rare bare-faced appearance, seeming to eschew his traditional poorly-matched foundation and aggressive contouring in favor of a more sober look. At least, that seems to have been the idea. But instead of looking serious and somber, Trump manages to resemble one of the Righteous Gemstones.

He almost looks human, if it weren’t for the strange duck’s ass hair formation we can see in the side profile.

This look reminds us of a lot of things. Not just Uncle Baby Billy and Queens of the Stone Age lead singer Josh Homme, but Saul Goodman’s deranged lawyer brother Chuck McGill from Better Call Saul.

And we can’t forget the iconic look served up by Tom Cruise himself as PUA extraordinaire Frank Mackey in Magnolia.

These images has people thinking: were we accidentally exposed to this version of Trump after he escaped from a different timeline? One in which he looks human and doesn’t oppose all forms of human rights?

He only appeared out of drag for this one occasion, and we’re desperate to know who his stylist was.

Apparently people were shook when this happened: hence the return to form, perhaps?

Whatever Trump decides to do or not do with his hair, these photos are proof positive that no amount of pomade can transform a dog’s a**hole into a passing human being.
