I think you're engaging in a bit of humor, here, but Trump was born at the top of the socioeconomic ladder. There's nowhere for him to go but down. I don't think this study applies to people like him.

Was he actually ever considered attractive when he got "on the scene", so to speak?

Money is attractive, too. I'd be pretty flexible on my standards for a partner if it meant I could never have to work again in my entire life.

I feel like age hurt him for sure. You see Donald Trump in Home Alone and he looks like an average white dude. But now he looks like a troll.

What's the deal with the orange? When do you think that became "a thing" and why do people do it? Its beyond repulsive as a similarly fair person...

Plus, an average-looking dude in the 90s had a chance regardless.

And an average-looking billionaire has even better chances.

You mix an average male with an attractive model and something decent may come out. Plus she could afford surgeries.

Outside of ones feelings for Trump ...Ivana holds the standard of beauty. Those who loathe him prior to their dislike of him ..those ppl and the majority of them thought the same about her looks. That she is natural beauty even prior to any plastic surgery.

Attractiveness runs in Trumps family. He afterall was the Paris Hilton / Kardashians of the 80s and early 90s. Those types of socialites have beauty and wealth and society loves to follow them because of it.

What is Trump's main pathology as it relates to his wealth? There's always this conjecture that he was like Nouveau Riche and wanted so bad to be accepted in line with the Old Rich? Why does he care so much, did Fred beat it into him that they needed to assimilate or why's it such a huge fucking deal to him?
