Former President Donald Trump's old secretary of state made his case Thursday for the MAGA leader, but a startled internet heard very little of his speech, appearing to be too focused on his unrecognizable appearance.
Mike Pompeo served as Trump's secretary of state from 2018 to 2021, and before that as director of the CIA from 2017 to 2018. Talking to a crowded Republican National Convention Center, Pompeo slammed Biden on foreign policy decisions and said Democrats are lying about the truth surrounding Joe Biden's cognitive health. He said Biden "can't handle that 3 a.m. phone call."
Additionally, he slammed Biden's hostage negotiations.
"We brought them home," he said, "along with dozens of others, dozens of other hostages. And we did so without paying one single penny to the terrorists."

But if you asked X, formerly Twitter, what happened, they'd give some version of: "Who was that?"
"I truly did not recognize former Secretary of Steak, Mike Pompeo," wrote podcaster Jeff Storobinsky.
"He's half the man he used to be. is he on the Ozempic?" asked Allan Hoving.
"All of them are face shifting," quipped @nikbrn, attaching before-and-after photos of Pompeo.
"Pompeo lost weight. Good for him. He’s still an antisemitic Christian Zionist lunatic who’s trying to create the End Times so Jesus will come get him," jabbed @jimstewartson.
"Who is this and what did they do with Mike Pompeo?" asked @Cosmic0rigins.
"Is everyone on Ozempic?!?!" an aghast @ackwhacker questioned.
