How is it such a petty and immature person is deemed fit for presidential office I may never understand.
77 million petty, immature voters who put selfishness and hatred ahead of country.
Not to mention the whole rigging the election thing he openly bragged about.
Half the USA doesn't seem to mind.
Worse, a whole lot of those are actively helping the Drooling Diaper Dude. Including the big seven tech companies.
It's unfair that most of us have to behave professionally at work when the president doesn't
Trump openly uses the autopen, you can't get this dumb can you? Oh yes, of course you can.
Blatant hypocrisy is a feature. It helps sort the sycophants from the future concentration camp residents.
I can't get over his current Sith Lord portrait. The fuck guys, he looks like a movie villan...
I thought it was his mugshot, it's basically the same.
NEVER SURRENDER! lmao
He's such a whiney little snowflake bitch
#1 MAGA Karen.
For once it's actually a little funny even if petulant.
I don’t agree with it, but it is a surprisingly clever dig for this group…
The thing is that he has always joked like this. His fans eat it up. He's popular for a reason.
I miss having a president with some class in the White House. The autopen theory is fucking stupid. I strongly disagree with pretty much everything that Trump says about Biden, or at least the extent he takes it.
But damn if I didn't chortle a little when I heard about this.
For once? Trump's entire political career is based on belittling and exposing the previous system as a sham. He has always been bombastic, crude and--clever in subtle ways. He appeals to a very specific slice of america. No not just white. No not just rich. No not just male. But a surprisingly diverse group that hates the status quo. Hates the decorum of the old ways.
The mentality is embodied in any social media post like this one. The performative pearl clutching, faux-outrage with how vulgar trump is. The refusal to examine why Trump appeals to millions of people, and the ever present moral judgement about America as a whole.
Trump is a result of America's politics. A mirror of society. He is or at least was, a master showman and clown but not as a pejorative. After all that is how he got elected.
Captain Butthurt is just still so sad about losing in 2020...
Trump's mugshot belongs in the presidential portrait gallery
Cool. Now release the Epstein files. All of them.
And he put his own mugshot, didn't he?
It's the same "look" as the mugshot, but I don't think it is actually his mugshot.
Are US Dollar bills valid when the Secretary of the Treasury didn't sign them by hand and the signature is only printed by machine?
All class
Pointless distraction
Fucking petulant child
So he couldn't look success in the eye.
