Is “hotness” a presidential quality? At a recent rally in the Bronx, former President Donald Trump took the stage with his usual confidence, boasting once again about how “hot” he thinks he was. He proudly stated, “I was sort of like a hot guy. I was hot as a pistol. I think I was hotter than I am now and I became president.” Some might see this as just another sign of his large ego, rather than a real leadership quality.
Trump: “I was sort of like a hot guy. I was hot as a pistol. I think I was hotter than I am now and I became president. Okay. I don’t know. I said to somebody, was I hotter before or hotter now? I don’t know.”

Trump’s odd obsession with his looks didn’t go unnoticed. Social media users jumped in quickly, with one reply sticking out: “Stormy Daniels says otherwise…” This refers to Trump’s ongoing legal battle with adult film star Stormy Daniels, a historic case because it’s the first time a former U.S. president is on trial. The case involves claims that Trump tried to hide a $130,000 payment to Daniels, made by his lawyer Michael Cohen, to silence her about a supposed sexual encounter in 2006. So, while Trump boasts about his looks, his legal troubles keep adding up.

Trump, of course, denies everything—no affair, no wrongdoing. His lawyer, Susan Necheles, tried to shake up Stormy Daniels’ story, but she wasn’t having it. She shot back, “You’re trying to trick me into saying something that’s not entirely true.” This trial isn’t just about juicy gossip; it’s serious business. Trump’s facing 34 felony charges for allegedly messing with business records.
Twitter users weren’t buying Trump’s “hotness” claim. Ziggy (@theziggiestzag) hit back, saying, “He’s just feeding his narcissism and psychosis.”
I’ve said it time and again. He is doing all of this because it pumps his narcissism and psychosis.
He is an absolute loon who just wants to hear himself talk and listen to people talk about how great he is. That’s not a leader. That’s not someone you should look up to.— Ziggy (@theziggiestzag) August 24, 2024
Ryan Stewart took a funny swipe, adding, “You are NOT hot. Your hair does you no favors, your poorly fitting clothes make you pear shaped, and whatever your skin regimen is, STOP now!”
What is this obsession with hotness? Dude I’m saying this objectively regardless of party. You are NOT hot. Your hair does you no favors, your poorly fitting clothes make you pear shaped, and whatever your skin regimen is, STOP now. @realDonaldTrump

SandieB couldn’t help but mock, “’Hot’ is now a presidential quality?! I think that ship has sailed.”

Lee shared a throwback: “I was a beautiful young woman in the 80’s. I wouldn’t touch that guy with a ten-foot pole. He was never hot, and he was a known crook 40 years ago.”
I was a beautiful young woman in New York back in the 80’s. I wouldn’t touch that guy with a ten foot pole. He was never hot, & he was a known crook 40 years ago.

It seems Trump’s hotness didn’t exactly warm up the crowd!
The Trump show is always a wild mix of big ego and ridiculous moments. While he’s busy bragging about his old “hotness,” his legal troubles are heating up. This trial isn’t just a courtroom drama; it’s Trump trying to rewrite his story to fit his version of reality. Meanwhile, we watch the spectacle, wondering if this is the new normal in American politics.
