GQ Posts Trump Makeover Video, Laments They Can't Change His Misogny and Racism, Etc.

GQ magazine thought it would be fun to troll President Donald Trump by making a video of a presidential makeover. Cut the hair, fade the bronze skin tone, get a skinnier tie and a smaller suit. The magazine writes:

The number of objectionable qualities possessed by President Donald J. Trump is rising by the day. But what excuse does he have for his outfit? We've had bad presidents in the past, but at least they have—at the bare minimum—been able to get out of bed and look presidential.

Fortunately, Trump's suit game is the easiest thing to repair. From his comically large red tie to his JNCO-capacity baggy pants to his unbearably bad haircut, the president's wardrobe could use a few easy fixes from GQ's style editors. Now, for the laundry list of other things that need fixing, like his disregard for women and people of color, blatant pursuit of selfish corruption, lack of moral compass, and inability to write a coherent tweet? Trump's going to have to figure those things out himself.

The video itself is lighthearted fashion tips at first, but the video ends with a series of disingenuous remarks. "He may look a lot better, but we can't change the: [and then these sins crawl up the screen]"

Misogyny

Racism

Homophobia

Class Warfare

Islamophobia

Corruption

Lies

Bad Tweets

Isolationism

Hypocrisy

Maniacal Self-obsession

Willful Ignorance in Face of Facts

Vitriolic Twitter Rants [Bad-tweet rerun]

Acts Against Veterans and their Families

Promotion of Conspiracy Theories

Calling Sexual Assault [?]

The video ends with the message "Here's hoping his values get an upgrade, too."

Of course GQ would never think of doing anything like this when President Obama was in office. Obama belonged on Mount Rushmore! But there’s a rambunctious Republican as president now.
