Transcript
- 0:00It's just been 2 days since Susan Dell appeared
- 0:02in the Oval Office, and the internet still can't
- 0:05look away. Today, in breaking absurdity and important
- 0:11public service announcement, Susan Dell is definitely
- 0:14not Stephen Miller. We're also testing your knowledge
- 0:17of MAGA makeovers with 5 before photos for you
- 0:21to identify. And finally, the internet has some
- 0:23theories about Susan Dell's transformation. Some
- 0:26of them are almost plausible. When I first posted
- 0:31a reel of Susan Dell in the Oval Office, I started
- 0:34noticing something in the comments. People kept
- 0:36comparing her to Stephen Miller. Facebook, TikTok,
- 0:39YouTube, Instagram, different platforms, same
- 0:42comparison. So, in the interest of responsible
- 0:45journalism, it's time for an official fact check.
- 0:48Susan Dell is definitely not Stephen Miller.
- 0:51She is, in fact, Susan Dell. And I'll share my
- 0:54theory on why the internet even thought that
- 0:55in the first place. Stay with me. But this wasn't
- 0:58the first time Susan Dell had captured the internet's
- 1:00attention. A few months earlier, she appeared
- 1:03in the Oval Office while Trump was talking about
- 1:05TikTok. I made a reel focusing almost entirely
- 1:08on her facial expressions. It took me about 5
- 1:10minutes, but it went on to become my biggest
- 1:13TikTok reel. And here's the interesting part,
- 1:34people were fascinated by her before many of
- 1:37them even knew her name. Her expressions had
- 1:39become the story. I'd argue this was Susan Dell's
- 1:43debut in the MAGA absurdity sphere, and once
- 1:46people started paying attention, they began looking
- 1:48backwards, comparing photographs of Susan Dell
- 1:51then and now. According to the internet, this
- 1:53is Susan Dell in the 90s. And this is her in
- 1:57the mid 2000s. And this was her at the White
- 2:00House the other day. Granted 30 years is a long
- 2:03time, but some people say the difference is so
- 2:05striking that they barely recognize her. And
- 2:08I can definitely see their point, she does look
- 2:10different. But what caused it? Is it just natural
- 2:13aging? Is it plastic surgery? Is it some new
- 2:16drug? The internet has theories. We'll come back
- 2:19to those. Because Susan Dell isn't the only woman
- 2:22in Trump's orbit whose appearance has become
- 2:25a subject of online fascination. So I've put
- 2:28together a little quiz. Five women, five before
- 2:31photos, all associated with the MAGA universe.
- 2:34Your job is to identify them. I'd call this quiz
- 2:37moderately difficult because I've made 50 episodes
- 2:40of Breaking Absurdity and I didn't even get all
- 2:43of them right. Okay, let's get going. Here's
- 2:45our first one. Now this one's interesting because
- 2:48she hasn't always been MAGA and she did become
- 2:51a familiar face on Fox News. Now this one's slightly
- 2:54easier. She's a former South Dakota governor
- 2:56whose political career took her to Washington.
- 3:00And now this one married into the Trump family
- 3:02and went on to help lead the Republican Party.
- 3:06And she's a former television news presenter
- 3:08who became one half of a billionaire power couple.
- 3:12And finally, a far -right activist known for
- 3:14provocative stunts and an unusually close association
- 3:18with Trump. So be sure to write your answers
- 3:21in the comments and we'll do the big reveal at
- 3:24the end. I'll give you a second to do that now.
- 3:29Going back to Susan Dell, her recent appearance
- 3:32generated plenty of discussion about the Trump
- 3:34accounts she was there to promote, a program
- 3:36presented as a way to support the financial future
- 3:38of America's children. But online, the discussion
- 3:41took a rather different direction. People wanted
- 3:44to know why she looked so different from older
- 3:46photographs, and the internet has produced enough
- 3:48theories to fill a small medical conference.
- 3:51Well, the bangs haven't changed, but everything
- 3:53else has. I mean, hi, it's Dr. Jenna. Welcome
- 3:56back to Celebrity Review. Today we have Susan
- 3:58Dell, very highly requested, so we're finally
- 4:02here. So let's start at the top and go down.
- 4:05Well, bangs are the same, so we can't see the
- 4:09forehead, but let's look at the brows. So if
- 4:11you look at the brows, see how the brows are
- 4:14like in the same place? She's obviously aged,
- 4:19her brows should go down, and that skin should
- 4:22fall forward. As you can see, the brows are in
- 4:25the same place. So we know that she's had a brow
- 4:28lift. And then also, with that brow lift, this
- 4:33tissue has been taken out. So she's had an upper
- 4:36bluff with the brow lift. Now, we've talked about
- 4:40this a million times. See how she has this nice
- 4:42almond -shaped eye? Almond -shaped eye. She lifts
- 4:46the brow up, the tissue is flush. But when they
- 4:49lift the brow up, because we see that she's had
- 4:52a brow lift because it's in the same place, they
- 4:56took the skin out as well. When you don't need
- 4:59to do that, because it would have been flush,
- 5:01and the patient opens their eye and the skin
- 5:04hugs their eyeball, making it very round looking,
- 5:07which is exactly what we see here. See how this
- 5:09looks like? Very round. I call them punched out
- 5:11eyes instead of this almond shaped eye that she
- 5:15has in her before picture. So we're going to
- 5:17add to that pinched out look by, do you guys
- 5:20see in her before picture, she has a little bit
- 5:23of skin here. You can see like the little, so
- 5:25she's had a lower bluff. She's had skin taken
- 5:28out of her lower, a lower bluff, which is skin
- 5:32taken out of your lower eye here. So that's adding
- 5:35to the strange look of the eyes. And then going
- 5:39down the face, if we look at the nose, she's
- 5:41a nice nose. I like her nose. But she's had a
- 5:44rhinoplasty, because you guys see in her after
- 5:46picture, it's crooked over the side, like this.
- 5:50In the before picture, it's straight down. So
- 5:54she's had filler, but it's too low. This is already
- 5:58where she holds her volume, down here when she
- 6:01was younger. And it's like they've added that
- 6:04volume back. to that lower part of her mid -face
- 6:08and then 100 % she's had a lip filler so see
- 6:11her lips are bigger in her after picture and
- 6:15then also she got Botox in her chin she had Botox
- 6:18in her chin here because you see how this lip
- 6:20is pushed up like this on the side that's because
- 6:24they went to lateral with Botox here and it's
- 6:26pushing her lip up right there when she smiles
- 6:28Another creator has a different explanation pointing
- 6:31to a simpler explanation about the drastic change
- 6:34in appearance over the years. For anyone else
- 6:48who was just mindlessly scrolling and then became
- 6:50very alarmed and startled to see Susan Dell's
- 6:53face, let me explain. I'm Dr. Regina Rodman,
- 6:56a double board certified facial plastic surgeon.
- 6:58And for once, this is not a political post. This
- 7:00is not a roast of Susan Dell, although this video
- 7:04is with President Trump. I wanted to come on
- 7:07because I saw a lot of the comments in different
- 7:11posts that like, this is terrible plastic surgery.
- 7:13This is what plastic surgery does to you. I feel
- 7:15the need to come on here and defend myself and
- 7:17my colleagues. This is not plastic surgery. Looking
- 7:22at a comparison from when she was younger. The
- 7:25crazy thing is the brows. That is not surgery.
- 7:29That is not necessarily a brow lift. That is
- 7:31tattooing, microblading, crazy heavy brow pencil,
- 7:37excessive eyeliner. Maybe she's had a blot that's
- 7:40making her have those crazy like super open eyes,
- 7:44but the nose I think actually looks worse. Her
- 7:46lower lip droops a little bit. That happens with
- 7:48age. Her face shape is largely the same. This
- 7:51isn't plastic surgery. This is a lot of just
- 7:53weird makeup. But you look at her in that photo
- 7:56we just saw of the after, even compared to now,
- 8:00this is massive fat loss in the face. This is
- 8:04excessive fat loss in the face. And I don't know
- 8:07what's happening with her. It doesn't matter.
- 8:10She's a human being. Something is happening that
- 8:13is not right. And it's really mostly fat loss.
- 8:17You can see in these photos, even she's always
- 8:19been lean, but you can see kind of the girth
- 8:22in her midsection in her arms. even very lean,
- 8:26she now she's got on puffy sleeves but she almost
- 8:29looks like a skeleton. That's what's happening
- 8:32to her face. We see here every bone in her face,
- 8:37every bone in her cheek, her jawline. I can see
- 8:40every muscle of animation that you usually can't
- 8:43see those in people because we have a little
- 8:46bit of subcutaneous fat covering it. We can see
- 8:49Every ring of her trachea. That's not plastic
- 8:52surgery. There's no plastic surgery that makes
- 8:55Skeleton izes your trachea. In fact, I do a surgery
- 8:57to take down the anus Apple but not that what
- 9:01you're seeing here that looks Disconcerting is
- 9:03she looks like a skeleton. She has no facial
- 9:06fat She's painted in a lot of eyebrow and a lot
- 9:11of eye But I mean literally you could see every
- 9:14bone in her face That's not plastic surgery.
- 9:17That's excessive, potentially dangerous level
- 9:22of fat loss. So two competing theories. One person
- 9:24says plastic surgery. The other person says radical
- 9:27weight loss. But we actually don't know what
- 9:30caused the massive difference. But what we do
- 9:33know is everyone really cares and apparently
- 9:35they won't adjourn until they've considered every
- 9:38possibility. Now that we've overanalyzed one
- 9:40woman's mysterious transformation more thoroughly
- 9:43than an Epstein File redaction committee, let's
- 9:46turn our attention to five more women in the
- 9:48MAGA universe whose before and after photos deserve
- 9:51a little scrutiny. It's time to reveal the answers
- 9:53to our MAGA makeover quiz. Okay, here's our first
- 9:58woman, and you remember she wasn't always MAGA.
- 10:01She actually was married to Gavin Newsom for
- 10:03a while. We're talking about Kimberly Guilfoyle.
- 10:06Here's her before and after. I'd love to hear
- 10:08in the comments if you recognized her. And our
- 10:11next one, which I think a lot of you probably
- 10:13got her, because she was huge in the media last
- 10:16year, but we're talking about Kristi Noem, former
- 10:19Secretary of Homeland Security, who was better
- 10:21known as Ice Barbie. And up next, I'm going to
- 10:26give you another little hint about this one.
- 10:28This one might be a dead ringer for you once
- 10:30you see this clip. That's right, it's none other
- 10:45than Laura Trump, which you probably guessed
- 10:47from that viral clip. Laura Trump is a Fox News
- 10:51presenter and she's married into the Trump family,
- 10:54being the wife of Eric Trump, and apparently
- 10:56likes to sing karaoke. And we advise her to not
- 11:03quit her day job. And who did you think this
- 11:06is? Well this is actually Lauren Sanchez, wife
- 11:08of Jeff Bezos. And lastly, let's reveal who this
- 11:14is, this is actually Laura Loomer. far right
- 11:17activist, and close associate of Donald Trump.
- 11:22So how many did you get right? If you got all
- 11:24five, congratulations. You spent the truly unreasonable
- 11:27amount of time looking at the people orbiting
- 11:29Donald Trump. And if you got none of them, honestly,
- 11:32that might be the healthier outcome. Thanks for
- 11:34watching Breaking Absurdity. And remember, don't
- 11:37stare into the abyss alone. Let's do it together.
