It’s one of the oldest photo ops in the political grab bag: Have a politician running for office pose with a baby or young child, even kiss the kid and make it appear that you absolutely love children.
Most politicians pull off the baby photo op with assured aplomb, but that’s because they’re comfortable around young kids and likely helped raise their own children.
Which brings us to Donald Trump, who isn’t comfortable around anyone and likely had absolutely no role in actually raising any of his five spawn, Don Jr., Ivanka, Eric, Tiffany, and Barron.
At a campaign stop this week, a brave MAGA supporter/cult member handed their infant child to the Donald, who held the poor baby like it was a bag of potatoes and then proceeded to kiss the kid, which is about like letting Sasquatch babysit for the day.
Mockery is deserved, and it was heaped on, along with plenty of disgust for Trump’s bizarre interaction with the child.
Omg he looks like he’s never held a baby in his Fucking life. No one holds a baby like it’s a fucking Taylor Ham. 🤦🏼♀️

The actual baby has a higher emotional IQ than the adult in a baby’s body who’s holding her 🙄🤷🏼♀️

He couldn’t look more uncomfortable.
He can’t even fake affection.— jaytune (@8888keys) October 25, 2023
Pathetic? Yes. Disgusting? Even more so. And the woman who handed that kid to Donnie should be charged with child abuse.
