This is a great idea. If teens have skin that looks like RFK Jr's then maybe Trump will keep his hands off of them.

What the heck is wrong with these people? Republicans are obsessed with harming children. Yep, it's sooooo important for kids to spend time at the salon getting nice tans. Gotta help out the poor struggling tanning bed industry.

They didn't get to RFK Jr in time.

Between years of tanning and heroin addiction, his medical prognosis over the long term isn't good.

It already fried his brain ...

The GOP wants your daughters to get skin cancer, so they look more sexually appealing to old white men.
