Today in fake, waxy smiles we have former president Donald Trump and his former aide Kellyanne Conway standing beside each other displaying good dentition in front of a pair of American flags. Perhaps all those white teeth are what drew Ron Filipkowski’s attention, I don’t know. But I’m glad he dropped in for a comment.

Trump and Conway are giving a thumbs up to something, I don’t know what. But Kellyanne, especially with that fixed gaze and frozen hand, looks like she belongs in a wax museum. Trump doesn’t get off much better here. He’s standing stiffly, grinning in a way that suggests he might really be grimacing instead.
Lots of folks on X (formerly Twitter) noted both looked like candidates for Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum. Including @judejam43238219, who wrote:

At least one person singled Trump out for special attention.
“He looks like a wax figure,” @ChrisWozney posted.

@ArbiterofCool had another take on Kellyanne.
“I thought CONway was a cardboard cutout… or a dressed-up, made-up scarecrow.”

@MukaRRamAli_005 brought up the obvious, but I don’t think these two are capable of doing this. Neither are capable of understanding the pain of others. Trump has never been this way and if Kellyanne were the least bit able to do this she wouldn’t be one of his most avid supporters.
It’s frustrating when actions feel more like PR than genuine concern. People want to see real support and empathy, not just staged moments.

This sentiment, from @CoffeeForever5 is short, not-so-sweet, and appropriate.

Okay, okay…here’s one more and it makes me chuckle.

Trump is probably one of the fakest people I’ve ever seen. He never supports anything unless it benefits him in some way. He’s the dude who thinks he can approve swiping classified documents in his mind. He’s a gold leaf veneer covering a cauldron of lies inside.
And we can be glad that Kellyanne’s former husband Conway has fought a tough battle against Trump and that somehow the former couple has a daughter, Claudia Conway, who can think for herself. I think Claudia has worked hard to distance herself from her mother’s support of Trump and yet still be kind to her mom, no matter how wrong-headed she is.
It must be quite a battle.
But it’s no wonder so many social media users observed how fake Conway and Trump looked here. People are wearying of these two. They want them gone. Out of the spotlight.
Both are past their expiration date.
