TRAVERSE CITY, MI—In an effort to reach out to swing voters crucial to his reelection bid, former President Donald Trump reportedly attempted to soften his image Friday by distributing airbrushed JCPenney beauty shots of himself at a campaign rally. “Here you go, these are nice glossies of the president we took at the JCPenney Portrait Studio—he looks great, huh?” said senior advisor Corey Lewandowski, who spent the event passing out 8-by-10 and wallet-sized photos that were taken during a 30-minute session last week and that feature the Republican candidate in soft lighting with a coquettish expression on his face. “It was the photographer’s idea to have one with him in jeans and a matching denim jacket. Kind of silly, but we think it shows off a gentler side of him that most people don’t ever see. We also have this great one where he’s holding a hand to his chin in a pensive pose and has a sweater tied around his shoulders. Really sharp, right? And it didn’t break the bank, either.” At press time, reports confirmed the campaign had further targeted suburban moms with a holiday photo of Trump’s senior staff in matching striped shirts in front of a roaring fire.
