Donald Trump has defensive meltdown about how badly he’s been sweating
This past week a photo went viral which appeared to show Donald Trump’s face so sweat soaked that his orange bronzer was melting. Trump’s handlers seem to have him pretty well isolated from real news these days, but he must have gotten wind of it, because now he’s on a defensive bender about how badly he’s sweating:

A few things stand out here. First, while Trump was giving today’s speech in the often sweaty city of Las Vegas, the viral photo of him wasn’t from the city. To that end, while Trump spent his speech rambling about how it can often be 100 or 110 degrees in Vegas, that’s in the summertime. Today’s high temperature in Las Vegas was about 64 degrees.
Also, and Trump doesn’t appear to understand this at all in his increasingly senile state, he’s only causing even more people to talk about his sweatiness by bringing it up. Trump is now so far gone that he continually hands out free talking points to the other side.
