When Trump claims he can ‘do anything’ as president, he wants us to take him at his word. And unfortunately, many do. But the reality tells another story: he is largely a paper tiger whose power is checked by four distinct forces out of his control.

Trump's Victory 47 for Men promises “rich, masculine notes with a refined finish” without actually listing any of the ingredients or its scent profile. But early reviews from users at fragrance forum Parfumo describe it as “oriental-fruity” and score it at just 1.9 out of 10.
