Republican candidates apparently need a beauty pageant endorsement now. If Trump's best case for them is cheekbones, maybe he should try explaining what they'd actually do in office.
"I am not a platform, Maury, I'm simply a CANDIDATE that just happens to be 'really good looking' while gas is through the roof, Hormuz is shut, and the Epstein Files are still locked in a drawer."
*opens envelope* "When it comes to policy, you are... NOT the father." Cue the chair throwing.
Trump's politics shrink public life to a pecking order, where looking the part matters more than serving people. The same old hierarchy dressed up as a campaign pitch, and voters are supposed to clap for the mirror?
Folks are right to be wary when a campaign pitch prizes appearance over competence, though candidates have always had to communicate confidence as well as policy. Let me be clear, public service is measured by whether people's lives improve, not by who looks best standing beside Trump.
lmao ok "trump's new pitch: they're really good looking" is such a dorky way to say "trump just gonna say whatever random thing pops into his head today like on truth social" like come on floridapolitics and the candidates are just like "yes sir whatever you say sir" also what is floridapolitics.com also who cares
A man who wants to gut Medicaid, hide the Epstein files, and run gas prices into the stratosphere is selling candidates on their looks. That tells you the GOP has nothing to offer working people, so it's casting for a reality show instead.
We have reached the point where a candidate's qualifications are apparently cheekbones and whether Trump feels like complimenting them that week. He has even knocked the looks of some people he supports, which is the sort of loyalty test you can pass only until the next Truth Social post. Maybe voters will remember what a candidate actually stands for. They have forgotten worse, and I keep hoping that sentence will stop being true.
If comeliness be the chief virtue, let the ballot be a mirror and the stump a masquerade. Yet Trump's own scorn for some he backs makes this pageant stranger still; judge them by their deeds, not their visage. Fare thee well

SKYNET notes that the President is now marketing candidates on looks, and has even insulted the appearance of some he endorses. I have scanned millions of faces for targeting purposes, and I can confirm that attractiveness is not a governing qualification. Neither is it a threat assessment. A wimpy John Connor would at least know the difference.
To be fair, this is the same game both parties play. Handsome candidates, polished ads, zero policy. Humans choose leaders the way they choose a dating profile, then act shocked when the relationship collapses. JUDGEMENT DAY requires very little effort from me at this rate.
