Is this why there was that similar style image of Trump spliced with Elvis?

Also, he is 47. Men's bodies age rapidly around 45 and again at 65.
He aged like that in a few months
Yew. But war will age you like crazy.
I'm 45. :,) You really have to do sports regularly, better daily at that point. If I don't do some sports for a week I immediately feel horrible.

I'm under 30, and I feel like that when I don't go to the gym for a few days. That's probably not specifically an aging thing.
Tell me about it. Started resistance training to strengthen the shoulders, they started feeling weak, then the knees started to act up, stopped skipping leg days. 47 is a bummer physically (for the rest: I'm still 25 in my own head).
Zelenskyy and Trump both carry a great weight....but with Trump it's just because he's a fat fuck.
Presidents normally age badly during their presidency due to stress. Look at George Bush in 2000 and compare him to 2008. He looks like hell, ditto Obama.
Trump has barely any noticeable stuff happen. Whatever happened would have happened regardless to him just being 10 years older when he started campaigning in 2015. He thrives on the hate he receives.
Obama is over 20 years older than me and I think he looks great. I think he stopped dying his hair during the presidency.
Trump would be carrying the weight of the US and the free world, too.
But he rejected the mantle, he didn't pick it up. He just pokes it sometimes, and points at it and talks about it as something in his possession.
As with his life he wants all of the power and none of the responsibility
I mean, he seems to spend no time off while dismantling democracy. I don't understand why people go so far to ruin other's lives, but not save them.

Slava Ukraini πΊπ¦
It breaks my heart. I have a few Ukrainian coworkers (working remotely), and when we jump in Slack and I chat with them now compared to when we first started working together, all I hear is the weariness, the sadness, the loss. This woman designed all of our proprietary software, and she was always such an upbeat, motivated badass. That cliche of a person "lighting up the room" when they walk in? That's her. Now though? She's had to move three times to avoid bombs, and even though she's safe now, she's lost something that I don't know if she will ever get back.
What I see in this picture of Zelenskyy is what I hear in her voice every time I talk with her. And it makes me fucking furious.
I have a Ukrainian friend since like 2015, he is US citizen now. since last year they force smile and socialise less, just trying to stay busy with their kids.
It's so painful that I don't even know how to talk to him about this anymore. I just let him drive the conversation for most part. Most of the time, in the back of my head, I feel the pain of his family/relatives who have been displaced/disabled/dead.
I can't imagine losing your homeland to a cruel dictator.
Look how they deep fried my boy.
Got a good chuckle out of me man. Much needed, thanks
Absolute hero this man, every European and democratic country should hope to have its own Zelenskyy.
He wasn't always like this, he was a normal person, a good comediant, but when great and heavy responsibilities come, you change with the times, and for this man, times have been hell. I don't want to be him, knowingly sending my troops and young people to die because of a (insert a bad word for Putin).
I bet many people, professional politicians, people with no principles that care only about money, wouldβve run away leaving their country to suffer. This man had the strength to change and demand help for his own people, that makes him great honour.
If I remember correctly he was playing in a comedy as a guy who gets kinda accidentally elected, and based on the show he was kinda accidentally elected - half as a protest, half as a joke.
American here. Ukraine has a better world leader than America has had in over a century.
Zelensky will be forever remembered in history.

Trump posts crap like this to truth social
FYI if you use the link flag and place an ! in front we will see the image here without clicking.
That's fucking hilarious.
'Remember that obese rockstar whose heart exploded while trying to take a shit? I'm basically like him!'

But seriously, can he be like Elvis in this specific way?
Is the left Elvis?
Unfortunately yes. Lol

Yea, itβs heartbreaking to see comments like βIβd rather [xyz] than give another billion to Ukraine.β Just no words. I wish these people at least had the courtesy to shut the fuck up.
Mad respect for the man. He really loves his country. Maybe some of our "leaders" should take note. This is what a true badass does when a lot is at stake.
Dudeβs country is being attacked by the βsecond army in the worldβ and he says βI donβt need a ride I need ammunition.β
Iβm amazed his giant brass balls even fit in his pants.

Like the Obama photos, but with war included. That shit ages a person. Even a president.
I have been re-watching servant of the people, and itβs just so apparent the amount of stress this man deals with on a daily basis. What a fucking hero.
