I see that Donald Trump is still droning on about Kamala Harris's Time cover. It's fake, maybe, or it looks like Melania or Time is in the tank for Kamala or something. Just in case you're wondering what this is all about, here's the Time cover and the Getty photograph it's based on:
It's an ordinary photo illustration, and it looks precisely like Kamala Harris. Everyone satisfied?
It's quite obvious that all women look the same to Trump.
Except for the non-beautiful ones that he doesn't feel are good to grab, and they aren't really people or something.
Didn't he confuse E. Jean Carrol with his second wife Marla Maples? lol. He's such a schmuck.
Trump has a vast vocabulary for demeaning and insulting women.
By the only expression he has for praising (whether genuinely or to cover for his rank misogyny) is that a woman is “beautiful.”
The average six-year old boy has greater emotional capacity.
There’s a reason Trump’s own running mate compared him to Hitler.
It’s odd. On the time cover I get the sense that there is a Native American flavor to the pic. Maybe it is the things along the edge of her hair? Hard to say. Beautiful woman regardless.
I got the same Native American vibe. Seeing the two pictures side by side, the drawing gives her a longer, bonier face than in the photo. And the hair is wrong. I don’t think it’s a great drawing of her. But I don’t have any “feelings” about that. It’s no big deal. Trump’s just pissed she’s on the cover of Time, which used to be a thing.
I do sort of get the same impression. I also tried to figure out why and the best I could come up with was the light colored shirt triggered an impression somewhere in my mind. I guess I've seen images with Native Americans with their clothing in a similar position. Maybe?
Making her hair black instead of brown (it's a B/W drawing, so no avoiding that) helps create this. You can see a similar effect by changing the original photo to monochrome and lightening it a little bit.
The backdrop, especially on the sides, makes a difference on the Native American impression too. They've replaced the bokeh of the photo with vertically-aligned convention placards or something along both sides that look vaguely like braided and decorated hair, or the kind of side locks that eagle-feather headdresses sometimes have. And, along lines others have mentioned, the monochrome seems to emphasize underlying structure and de-emphasize mouth and lips.
I think our pouty little former guy is also pissed about the pose looking too visionary for his taste-- only men like him should be shown like that so women can gaze adoringly and admiringly at them.
And when you get right down to it, that cover should be him, dammit! Every cover should be him, if you ask him.
This whole thread is weird.
Can you imagine anybody discussing JD's lineage based on his appearance?
Seriously?
When comparing art and photography, yes. Gender wouldn’t matter. Get over it
Get over what? Laughing at you?
Really?
I don't think so; it just go funnier.
Yes, he clearly appears to be descended from the gerbils who came over on the Mayflower, from Gerbellia.
And she doesn't look at all like Melania.
Is he mental?
Does he have face blindness?

you assume he's ever looked at a woman's face
I was going to make a similar repy to Josef above, but your comment is more subtle than mine would have been.
I think I must have that. When I look in the mirror I see this old guy I don’t recognize at all.
> Is he mental?
Well, yes. But we knew that anyway.
Trump is just pissed that in comparison he looks so weird.
This is just Trump shooting his mouth off with little thought whatsoever. As usual.
From the long history of conservatives stepping on a rake in California,
Trump laments San Francisco was a 'great city' 15 years ago — when Kamala Harris was D.A.,
https://www.rawstory.com/kamala-harris-vs-donald-trump-2668973537/
--and Gavin Newsom was mayor.
Ah, but you see, 15 years ago SF was just coasting on the coat-tails of good things done by previous city administrations …
Of course those were probably all Democrats too 🙂
I wonder what the critical mass of say homelessness is required to cross a threshold of notice.
Before Newsom it was that guy he knew quite well. Had a helicopter ride with him. Or maybe not.
lol. He really has no idea what he's talking about most of the time.
Ah, yes, like when Meg Whitman ran for governor of California against Jerry Brown, she lamented that California was nowhere near as great as it was when she first came to the state in 1981. It had to be pointed out to her that in 1981 the governor was... Jerry Brown.
And trump at some point contributed to one of her campaigns.
Yaaaaah! Something something A.I. something immigrants something BORRDERRRRR froth foam bacon something like nobody's ever seen!!
It's like bad Dadaist poetry, but all his groupies love it.
t-Rump is obviously jealous.
Well she has a nice smile regardless. I’m a sucker for a good smile!
Remember, this is what he's got.
It's not a question of whether or not the drawing hewed closely to her visage. This from the man who could not tell E Jean Carroll from his ex-wife Marla Maples just a few years ago.
What he's doing is objectifying women and creeping out by comparing Kamala to Melania. With age and decline in his prefrontal cortex, he cannot control his rapey, sicko, fondling, ogling nature.
I assumed Trump's claim that she looked like Melania was just another petty insult.
To both of them?
I came here to say that the outfit she is wearing in that photo/picture - and I've seen it elsewhere - completely kicks ass. That works so well. Kamala is not doing the Nancy Pelosi monochrome dress and string of pearls, but stuff like this and I like it quite a bit. The string of pearls was good, mind you. Better than what, for instance DiFi would wear in the 80's and 90's.
Yeah, also in the drawing her cheekbones are ever so slightly higher, which also adds to the "Native American" vibe.
