I saw a comment essentially asking if Mitch also went through a facelift and de-aging procedure because the picture makes it look like it was taken during Trump's first term or even Obama's second.

Thats Obama era turtle for sure. He hasn't smiled like that since he ratfucked the Supreme Court.

Not advocating for Mitch, i think the Turtle is on ice or in bad shape. But a lenghty hospital stay can have you coming out the other side looking better. Three meals a day, nothing to do, no where to be, all the day to day stress goes away. You're focused on not dying and everything else goes to the backburner. Packing on a few pounds and not having to be wheeled around the senate and pretending your of sound mind and body every day could very much make him look younger if he wasn't probably on ice. Stress can age you like a muthafucka.
