I cannot fathom how this is a real picture.
We truly are in the worst timeline.
Agreed. Looks like “NotTheOnion?” trigger warning is required.
I was almost convinced this was generated by a prompt to AI. Unreal! Like going over to your mate who thinks they’re all that’s house so they can show you their trainer collection. What a massive dickhead
That was my first reactionas well. Bit then I looked at their faces and remembered that Trump really is just that vain.
In the future this will be used to illustrate the term “kakistocracy”. Provided there is a future, of course.
This is the most i’ve been second-hand embarrassed
2 hats on the top left with Trump 2028 😬
culture war won
Like hanging out with a shitty, spoiled, only-child, but as an adult.
It’s like watching a spoiled kids gunko pop collection. They are cheap and ugly but he’s still proud and wants praise even tho he didn’t do anything for it.
Someone probably showed him a collection of trophies or something and he was like: i want that, but without the trophies.
Kid, I literally could not care less about your Pokémon card collection.
Everything is new-in-the-box, not to be played with. DON’T TOUCH THAT!
All the theoretically coolest stuff (well, not in this case), but in the most joyless, unfun context possible.
Not to diminish what the soldiers at the front have to go through, but having to play nice with such a shit person as Trump, only for your country to still get less support than under sleepy Joe, must be painful beyond belief. I wouldn’t even last a day having to kiss Trumps feet.
sleepy Joe
Can we not use MAGAt language? Call him other names, except anything that legitimizes their rhetoric.
Probably a BoTh SiDeS person. Lotta those on Lemmy
I am not. But Biden was a walking corpse for half of his term. We were robbed of Bernie, I am not going show any respect to a man and a system that did everything in their power to block Bernie.
Using the term “sleepy Joe” doesn’t look good on anyone. No, he was not a “corpse”.
If Biden was awake Trump would have been prosecuted for Jan 6 (or any of his countless other crimes) and we wouldn’t be dealing with his shit today. Biden fucked us all. He deserves every bit of disrespect coming his way.
This has nothing to do with what Biden deserves. It has to do with not wanting to hear maga rhetoric normalized
Sleepy Joe is a big part of the reason we’re in this mess to begin with. I say fuck him, he had his chance to earn a better nickname.
Oh, fuck that shit, no, the reason we’re in this mess to begin with is because rich douchebags won’t get their fucking dicks out of politics because woe is them someone might actually take their ill-begotten gains to benefit everyone, so they propped up a fucking fascist and then bought all the media to make idiots like you blame Biden for it.
So we agree, rich douchebags took over our democracy while Sleepy Joe sat back and did NOTHING to stop it. Jan 6th? Trump sees no consequences. Numerous other indictments for Trump? No need to rush. Musk buying votes in PA? Seems fine.
All the while Joe sits around insisting he’s strapped in and ready for another term. He got elected on the premise that he would be a 1 term president then decided he was comfy, in spite of incredibly clear polling numbers showing that his policy was remarkably unpopular. Then Kamala picked up the mantle and when she asked what she would do differently? No notes.
Policy-wise Joe was better than most but politically he gave away the country to the fascists.
No, we don’t agree. You’re a MAGA trying to blame Joe Biden for the evils of other people, or even the inactions of other people. Biden isn’t a prosecutor, nor is he a judge.
Nice name by the way, rather gives you away.
Lmao I’m a MAGA? You’re a clown. 🤡
Nah, dude was like 78 years old and mentally gone. That rhetoric is legitimate. The last thing we should be doing is pretending that he was an acceptable candidate and the Democrats did nothing wrong.
And by the way, Trump is 79 years old and also mentally gone, as you can see in the OP photo.
The enemy of your enemy is not your friend. Come up with something clever, I don’t care what you call him. Don’t legitimize MAGA. That’s it.
No. Fuck Sleepy Joe, just slightly less than Trump.
“Fuck Joe” is fine, though? I didn’t say don’t criticize the dude. Lol
Is it okay if I call him Senile Joe? What about Slow Joe? Shaky Joe?
Sure. I’m only saying don’t legitimize MAGA’s rhetoric. I don’t know why people think I’m saying anything more than that.
Yeah but trying to police what terms they use to criticize him in a way this specific is weird man.
Bruh, policing? I’m not enforcing anything, I’m asking.
Can you do two things for me:
- Stop putting words in my mouth
- pay attention to what I’m saying
Much appreciated.
No, they used the word correctly. What you’re doing is absolutely considered policing on the internet.
The only thing I hate more than seeing a standard “MAGA” merch is seeing “TRUMP 2028” merch. It’s disturbing how many of those I’ve seen around since the last US election.
The hats aren’t even of good quality. Most rip apart easily. Chinese-made hats are better than that.
Also overpriced. I saw them for $15… seriously? In my country I can get better quality ones for €5.
Where do you think Trump makes his hats? Also China can make good quality stuff but you have to pay for it. If you cheap out you get what you pay for.
Oh, they know how to sell full price crap.
To get quality you must have water proof deal on paper and constant vigilant quality control at your end.
Or just buy brands popular with Chinese. It just takes research that no one is willing to do, then they complain that thing they ordered off AliExpress is crap.
Bingo. I work with clothing and people like to complain about the generics, but if you get something above the absolute cheapest shirt we offer (go figure, it’s what most people go for), you’ll end up with something pretty nice.
MAGA doesn’t care about quality. Like, at all. All of the customers I’ve gotten that are clearly on that side of the fence all want it cheap and fast. Who cares if it looks or feels good as long as you tick the box. They wouldn’t know taste if it threw up in their mouth.
I think I’d prefer a comprehensive test of each maga hat’s tensile strength, just to be sure.
Why not? There are other Trumps who are eligible. If Junior runs, they don’t even need to change the banners or the hats much. They dont even need to hide it, they can have big “Donald Trump jr for President” banners still. Dad can go campaigning, and they can make perfectly clear who will make the decisions.
I hate that you’ve given me one more plausible concern… this is all predicated on us even having elections in 2028
There will be elections. There have to be, in order for the new Congress to be seated.
The only question is how ratfucked they will be…
It almost looks like an ‘exit through the gift shop’ kinda thing
Yeah that’s not a collection, that’s stock.
Seriously, there are little piles.
I got five bucks that says he was trying to charge them.
Yup, he’s making world leaders stop at his merch table.
Imagine being Zelenskyy, your soldiers dying on the battlefield, children abducted and your cities bombed. Daily.
Now here you are, having to pretend being interested in some narcissists fascist cap collection
I hope Zelensky goes back to comedy after his political career. So much source material!
if it wasn’t real and extremely depressing I might agree.
Must take every fiber of his being not to just beat Cheeto chimp into a quivering pile of piss & shit.
Imagine how powerful Z would appear by doing that?
Yes, I believe Z would still make it back to Ukraine.
If he beats up an old man they’ll both look weak.
Bullshit. Trump is his enemy as equally as any Russian troop or Putin.
Then like vaultdweller says, there’s a chore that needs to be done, not a test of manly strength to be proven.
I honestly don’t know why he even takes these meetings with trump. I don’t want to sound like an asshole, but damn, it really makes me wonder about his intelligence and really, just his awareness in general. Its so fucking obvious he’s going to get nothing from these meetings even before they happen. Just seems like an extreme waste of time for a man that has much MUCH bigger things to deal with.
Even if you know you’re going to lose a match you still show up to play. Zelensky is playing the game that’s politics and yeah I bet he knows how trump doesn’t give a fuck or care besides the last compliment he received but Trump gets to say yes or no especially to the arms deal was “talked about” for 100 billion so Us gets money and Ukraine gets “NATO 5 security protections” how ever doubtful is going to happen he has to play or at least be there to listen to the and be able to use his for voice for his country’s survival. I get and understand your view and frustrations as from well and if we can see it here “arm chairing” the situation from here I’m sure it’s plenty palatable on what the situation is there on the “ground floor” . Look how levity acted right after the meeting with Putin and everyone reaction who attended meeting after, there faces and tone said it all the US is capitulating to Russia over allies and Ukraine and from the look of things that’s probably not going to change with the tan mango or US foreign policy as brine soon. Hope you don’t take this as me disagreeing with your perspective because if you’re not frustrated and upset you’re not paying attention. I want Ukraine to win and the clock is running on time and support as more countries still move towards the far right with elections results and the US isn’t helping things in that sphere either… sorry about the ramble and long reply and hope you took my reply as a different view on the same situation but hey I’m just a very concerned person with the state of the world right now same as you where our sphere of conserve is global but our influence is very minuscule in comparison. Do what you can from the bottom up locally/politically if you’re able too and that’s going to be on what you consider possible and safe for your own self and loved ones. Shit has been scary and continues too get worse by the day hour it seems at the end of the day we each have to decide our own level of involvement for whatever reason that may be (I’m not trying to hate on any one who cannot voice their opinion because it might put them in danger of being kidnapped by ICE in the US or reprisals that may get you fired or black balled in your work or industry but if you can work either in the shadows or your in a privileged position or class please use your voice for those who cannot or have already been silenced)
Heard.
But please… paragraphs.
Shit my bad :( will work on that being on a small screen is no excuse on that front appreciate you reading/wading through my comment haha
P.S. great the username and sorry Canada swear that we are trying to cleanup the dumpster fire that is the US right now (honestly has been for awhile) definitely keep boycotting the US and working on moving away from anything with the US infrastructure.
You’ve always been a great neighbor and friend that we definitely didn’t deserve.
Apologies… embarrassed we couldn’t even put on a friendly face for such a great ally. Please do everything you can to distance yourself from us till we prove we “got our shit” together.
We are definitely are not to be trusted our track record isn’t/wasn’t good in the first place. We are just “mask off” in fascism decline and it’s going to be a shitstorm to clean up, but it’s our mess to clean up and we know no one is coming to us.
- Your crazy neighbor 💕 ( hope we get our shit together and we can get on that long road of repairing and doing things right from there but honestly I’m not sure if we can)
The White Trash House.
Give them another four years and it will be the White Trash Trailer Park
Reminds me of this bullshit
When Trump served fast food to college athletic champions…
Richmond Valentine did it better.
Mind-blowing
I was going to reference Valentine as well with the hats. Trump gives some serious Velntine vibes asthetically
This guy is just so fucking cringe I’m getting third-hand embarrassment through my phone.
MOFO is recording a reality show 24/7. Everything he does seems one of those cringy episodes from E! or MTV shows from the 2000-2010s.
If I’m not mistaken, the first time he met with Zelensky he was caught saying “this will make good television” or something like that. Now, what is the exact goal with this? I don’t know… Seems conservative low IQ people like to consume their politics as entertainment programs and that keeps them hooked?
I’m sorry, does that fucking hat say “Trump 2028”
You guys can do it. You’ve already managed to elect him twice.
i hope this time the democratic party parades dick cheney himself to get the huge “moderate republican” voting bloc
Lol what a cuck
So many things to unravel…the gaudy style in the white house, his literal display cases of merch, showing his cringy ass merch to other world leaders like some toddler showing their newest Lego contraption to daddy 😵💫😵💫
Also “Trump 2028”…they mean one of his shitty kids, right?
Right??
or wife
I hate this country so fucking much.
🤜🤛
Are you American?
Yes
Instead of mildly infuriating, I would call this vicariously embarrassing.
if he wants a nobel peace prize so bad he should do something to deserve it and die
It’s wild to me someone so close to the end of their natural life span, who hates their own children, is so hellbent on consolidating so much power and money. For fucking what? Because it’s not for his kids and grandkids. Just why? Why all the mayhem to stroke an elderly degenerates ego. This world is lost.
He’s not really elderly. He just never matured from the “child” stage, and those mental states can be pretty similar in some regards.
79 years old is elderly, and he clearly has dementia.
Zelenskys expression is like when your kid shows you his rocks and sticks collection.
Rocks and sticks are cute. This is more like your kid showing you his roadkill collection.
cringe
God I can’t imagine what it must be like for him, desperately fighting an existential war every day for years, then having to politely listen to this infantile hitler-wannabe. I’d donate every penny I have to watch Zelenksky knock one of those trashy hats right off his head and call him out for being such a cowardly bitch.
