        Just because you like to have strange body modifications doesn’t mean you should demand that others make the same strange body modifications to their bodies.

        Also, do you realize how much it costs to run a US presidential campaign? Certainly his competition is spending more than his net worth by at least 2 magnitudes

          Are braces “strange body modifications?” Because that’s what he needs. And if he doesn’t have dental insurance, well… He’s apparently worth half a million dollars, which is a half a million more than we have and our daughter has braces.

            Yes. Teeth braces are strange body modifications. This is something very few people do to their bodies, but its fairly popular in extremely rich places

              Making it easier to chew your food and less likely to have health problems later than life = strange body modification. Got it.

              Just curious, are eyeglasses a strange body modification? How about an insulin pump? I’m just curious what medical intervention counts as strange body modification.

      He’s seemingly been just as disappointing a flip flopping, questionable vote chasing candidate this cycle. Unfortunate given his previous record.
