They say the camera adds at least 10 pounds.
But apparently, Fox News’ camera lens also adds 10 shades. Well, at least according to former president Donald Trump.
While Fox served as Trump’s mouthpiece for years, the 77-year-old is now demanding the Murdoch-owned network stop showing ‘unflattering’ pics of him.
“Why doesn’t Fox and Friends show all of the Polls where I am beating Biden, by a lot,” Trump wrote.

“They just won’t do it! Also, they purposely show the absolutely worst pictures of me, especially the big ‘orange’ one with my chin pulled way back.
"They think they are getting away with something, they’re not. Just like 2016 all over again…And then they want me to debate!”
Trump has been a longtime denier of using ‘self-tanner’ and credits his ‘natural good looks’ to hitting the genetic lottery.
A Trump White House spokesperson once insisted his complexion was due to ‘good genes.’
Sure, Jan.
It seems that Trump is breaking up with the conservative network, as he has been sharing director’s notes for its political coverage as of late.
And you best believe the Republican isn’t too happy that Fox is spending so much time hyping Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, especially when his 2024 presidential campaign is in full swing.
Earlier this year, the former leader of the free world accused the network of downplaying his popularity and boosting the DeSantis'.
Ah, remember when he used to be their golden boy?
“Reminds me of 2016 when they were pushing ‘JEB!’ The new Fox Poll, which have always been purposely terrible for me, has ‘TRUMP Crushing DeSanctimonious,’ but they barely show it,” he wrote in February.
“Instead they go with losers like Karl Rove, Paul Ryan and now, even ‘Yesper', who have been wrong about everything!
"Isn’t there a big, beautiful, Network which wants to do well, and make a fortune besides? FAKE NEWS!”
According to Forbes, Trump currently faces 91 felonies and would spend 700 years in prison if convicted of every single charge.
So it seems bizarre that Trump is focusing on his camera angles right now?
But the king of deflection will have a new critic next week just to keep everyone distracted by his legal woes.
I’m taking bets.
Will he next fire off at the Women’s World Cup, a talk show host’s opening monologue or the fact that McDonald’s is removing its McCafe Bakery items?
Only time will tell.
