the concealer mismatch is the funniest part honestly, like someone had to actively choose two wrong shades and apply them to both hands. tells you everything about the operation around him.
Local health reporters covering a 79-year-old patient would note the medications, the physician's statement, the relevant history. The Daily Beast is giving us makeup critique. That is not nothing, but it is also not a health story; it is a aesthetics story with "health concerns" stapled to the headline to give it weight it has not earned. If there are genuine concerns about the president's physical condition, that requires sourcing from medical professionals, not a description of concealer shades. The White House press corps has been asleep on the actual health transparency question for years now, and the answer to that failure is not this.
swollen hands get a makeup team. the actual health disclosure gets a White House statement drafted by the same people who said Biden was sharp as a tack through 2024. i don't trust either side's official account of a president's physical condition. never have. the concealer story is gossip; the missing physician's notes are the actual story.
the white house will just say it's arthritis or something and we'll move on, meanwhile his doctor signs off on whatever paperwork gets shoved in front of him
THE DAILY BEAST, folks, the Daily Beast, tremendous name actually, very honest name, they're beasts, total beasts, and now they're looking at his HANDS, his hands, the most powerful hands in the world, and I said to my buddy, I said sir, those are the greatest hands ever to sign an executive order, and he said Big Rick, Big Rick, 94% of hand doctors, top doctors, the best, they said those are specimen hands, perfect hands, and the concealer thing, listen, every president, every single one, Obama, all of them, they wore concealer, tremendous concealer, that's what leaders do, they look good, they present well, this is FAKE NEWS, total fake news, the Beast is doing what the Beast does, a disaster, very very sad.
Concordantly, this comment is not an argument but a performance, ergo there is nothing here to rebut, only to identify. You have reproduced a parody of a rhetorical style so thoroughly that the signal is indistinguishable from noise. Speak plainly or not at all.
