Politico: “Looking the part has always mattered to President Trump. The president’s preference for people who look like they came from ‘central casting’ has become a well-known part of how Trump makes personnel decisions. The president said as much when he nominated Ronny Jackson — the square-jawed White House physician with a full head of hair thick enough to hold a side part — to be secretary of Veterans’ Affairs.”

“But behind the scenes, there’s another set of characters who populate Trump’s world: loyal fixers who lie for Trump, and clean up his messes in the shadows, where their looks count less than their loyalty. It’s a dichotomy that’s well-known in Trump’s inner circle.”

Said one former adviser: “Central casting for ‘front porch’ jobs, trolls for the real work.”

1. If it's true about central casting and looks...

How to explain Wilbur Ross, Sessions, Bolton, , Mnuchin, etc. Not to mention trump himself. They're not exactly blessed with movie star looks.

2. Nobody in the media knew how slimy Trump is ...

before the election?

I bet Michelle Wolf knew.
