To be clear, I don’t care if men in general wear eyeliner, but he doesn’t do a good job of it. He should be made fun of not for the fact he wears it, but the fact he wears it poorly. It’s so distracting.

I do have a problem with men who are against other people being their genuine selves trying to change their image. It’s hypocritical. People in general wearing makeup? Go for it.

Yes! Agreed! I wasn’t trying to insinuate that there was an inherent problem with men and makeup, just that he’s not good at it and he’s regularly on national television trying to convince people to like him.

And even that’s okay - we all start somewhere. But at his level, I would assume he could afford to have professional help (I mean, come on - look at Trump…that spray tan of a face must take hours to achieve the proper shade of orange). I suspect he may be too embarrassed to ask, and that’s a problem on society as a whole, but his party and people like him are the ones continuing to perpetuate it.
