In the old fart's defense, if I had advisors who thought was a good idea to spray me burnt orange before going in front of TV cameras in a failed attempt to be presidential, was married to a woman who most of the time looks like she had her dresses made at an upholstery shop, a degenerate grifter of a son always in the media, and a blogger no one has heard of that keeps reminding people I sold my driveway by mistake, not once but twice, y'all would be scared of my ass too!
