White House trying to improve optics? [View all]

We have seen the recent attempt to make Trump look empathetic and honest.
And to make Melania look decent and normal.

It all appears to be a coached and rehearsed attempt to cover up the fact Trump is a
ruthless psychopath. And Melania is not much better.

Trump has been pretending to have empathy for the military loss of life in the Ukraine/Russian war.
This from a man who is a known criminal. He did not care at all about 1 million Americans
who died during Covid as he did nothing to help them. In fact he and Kushner sold
much needed taxpayer funded medical equipment and supplies to foreign countries for cash.

Trump did not care about the women he raped, delighting in tricking and manipulating them.
Trump did not care about the members of congress when he sent a vicious mob to attack them.
There are too many examples of Trump's callous disregard for the welfare of others to list them all.

But now we are supposed to believe he is so distressed about the loss of Ukrainian
and Russian soldiers. When we know that he he sees the US military as suckers and losers.
And cannot even be bothered to show up at memorial events for them.

Recently Trump made reference to himself as an honest man in a Time Magazine interview.

All the while we see Trump lying repeatedly in TV interviews. Lying about tariff deals, talking
with other leaders, etc. Trump is a pathological liar and criminal.

Then who will forget Melania's appearance at the Pope's Funeral. Dressed in widow's weeds, all
black, lace veil, gloves. Looking grief stricken and heart broken. She looked like a mafia
wife at a mob funeral. She and Kristi Noem are the top Trump Barbie dolls who are good at
cosplaying various Trump propaganda points. They look ridiculous, dishonest, and crazy.

I guess the WH wanted to rehab Melania after she showed up at Jimmy
Carter's funeral wearing a Valentino Coat with a large collar depicting a nude couple having sex.

Will the US public buy the WH attempts to rehab the Trump crime syndicate?
