First of all, Trump has never been "silent" in his life. Have you ever seen him for ten seconds where he wasn't flapping his tiny accordion hands trying to con people out of something? No. So fuck you article headline writer, that's absolute normalizing garbage and you know it.

Secondly, how many people think he even knows who the fuck Nalvany is? The article writer sure seems to think he does - HE DOES NOT. He was told about Nalvany thirty seconds before he gave his quote and then he talked about magnets and ketchup for four hours. So fuck you article writer for assuming he knows a fucking thing because you know very well he's literally demented and incapable of complex thought.

Thirdly - what is the deal with his makeup this time around? For fuck's sake it looks like Nickolodeon Orange Slime. Jesus man, get a hair dryer on your face or something.

With respect to the third point, he kinda looks like he's about to shout at you about merchandising
