His Dartmouth cap, unlike this one, has been worn before.
- Neveranonymous - Monday, Jul 2, 18 @ 3:31 pm:
What is this costume supposed to be? He looks like some of my 80+ year old relatives. What kind of footwear is involved?
- Claud Peppers - Monday, Jul 2, 18 @ 3:32 pm:
The varicose veins on the arms match the neck. These bulges are probably because there is very little body fat.
The question is why is there little body fat?
- Uh, OK - Monday, Jul 2, 18 @ 3:32 pm:
This was in Rochester. Should be a solid area for him, but he was greeted with crickets…….

He lloked ridiculous. No one cheered him. He grabbed hands. His costume belonged in Picksley or Hooterville, not Illinois.

I’m not sure holding 3 pound hand weights when rollerblading qualifies as pumping iron.
Maybe he has gotten some pull up tips from Greitens.
