Sycophants. That's all that's left in his inner circle.

He is using satire to make a point.
If only that were satire
I wish our journalists did ANY amount of push-back because calling it satire is just a red herring and I wish they wouldn't even engage with it.
OK, let's assume it is satire used to make a point. What point exactly was he making? That he IS a king and is shitting on us all?
At least I have more dignity and self respect than a large portion of the people running my country
I mean, technically: the most powerful man in the world cannot do satire, because it requires punching up.
There is a lot of punching up he can do: morality, intelligence, compassion, basic human decency. When you’re at the very bottom of something, there’s nowhere else to punch but up.
Shatire. As Sean Connery might have called it.
Republicans don't understand satire or metaphor. They think trolling is wit.
They can't even wear fighter jet masks properly over their nose.
Time to make AI videos of trump eating actual shit from a horse’s ass, go crazy and flood their zone with ‘em.
"The president uses social media to make a point," Johnson told reporters Monday. "He believes that he is a king and that any protest against him or his appointed officials is treason. In essence, he is a fucking traitor who never should have gotten elected the first time, let alone the second, and I and my colleagues are going to work to impeach him and remove him from office, just as soon as we take our tongues out of his asshole."
-- Mike Johnson, if he was slightly less of a toady piece of shit traitor.
The video:
My favourite thing about this is that .... he'll be remembered forever for shit like this (no pun intended).
Think about it ... JFK had famous speeches and lines like 'We choose to go to the moon' ... Eisenhower is thought of to his line 'the Military Industrial complex' ... Roosevelt for his 'Day of infamy' speech ... even Reagan is remembered for his 'Tear down this wall' speech
Trump? ... he'll be remembered as a senile old buffoon who shared childish videos to make fun of the citizens he was supposed to govern.
.... and it isn't just representative of Trump ... no matter how the country feels about it ... his stupidity reflects on the entire nation.
His grave should be the only location where public dedication is legalized.
Oh, Lord, this guy really drank the Kool-Aid. (jk)
If only.
Should America one day go back to something resembling a functioning democracy, his legacy will be "who could have seen it coming" "no-one I know voted for him" "voter fraud" "we were too afraid" "at least the trains ran on time" "it was China/Russia's fault". I've heard most of those already.
Variations on all these lies and more were peddled by the Germans after the war and believed by the world. Even by American judges right after WWII who acquitted the overwhelming majority of Nazi War Criminals tried at Nuremberg despite mountains of evidence.
Anything but a society, culture, and individuals holding themselves accountable for easily predictable and predicted failures to govern.
You mean "defecation" right
The “speech” I’ll always remember is still when he was mocking the disabled.
… and it isn’t just representative of Trump … no matter how the country feels about it … his stupidity reflects on the entire nation.
This. I don't think about what Trump will be remembered for as much as what mark will he leave on America. His orange face will forever be included in the lists of US presidents reminding everyone how stupid this country has become. The monuments he's building and reforming will stay in Washington for centuries. The broken alliances, dismantled institutions, discarded laws... The US will never be the same after Trump and it will be his real legacy.
he’ll be remembered
That's what he wants. To have more money than other people, and to be remembered.
In a way, that's one nice thing about how he's destroying America. America will be weakened so much that maybe soon some other country or some new country will rule this land, and the United States will be relegated to history books. And then, Trump will only be remembered by very specialized historians.
In China they have these statues of a corrupt official and his wife that killed a loyal general like 1000 years ago. People spit on those statues to show they haven't forgotten the betrayal. Maybe Americans can take a cue from that and always "remember" Trump in that way when he's gone.
Hear me out; we take all the statues of Confederate losers and whatever gaudy atrocious bullshit cheeto comes up with, set them all up in a swamp with catwalks placed close enough that people can spit, piss, and if so motivated and properly prepared, projectile vomit/shit on their memories.
He doesn't care about being remembered per se, just getting his ego stroked now. And all his shitty juvenile impulses fulfilled.
some other country
Yeah, because anyone who's attempting to control this country is doing such a great job in their own that it's something we should look forward to.
How do you think all this shit got started? Trump didn't really have the friends or influence domestically.
it's fucking baffling, even the people we all remember as being the definition of evil are also remembered as being quite serious (in public at least), but modern fascists seem utterly hell-bent on being remembered as parodies that were somehow 100% real
Man, his diaper was really full!
King Dump.
fun fact : in the U.K. the word “trump” is slang for “fart”
i really believe that we need to start using that colloquialism a lot more frequently
Yeah my personal favourite part is the stench clouds appearing around his face. I imagine they are there in real life.
Can I unsee that?
Im impressed how far AI has come, it even knew he wouldnt wear an oxygen mask properly just like a covid chin diaper.
To the people like me who are confused, this is the actual video the US president posted. I figured this was too far even for that guy.
The Pedo Pooper Presidency
They also don't care he just took a wrecking ball to part of the White House. They don't care that he has crashed the economy or broken the government. They are coward sycophants.
I think the demolition of the White House is particularly poetic. It also shows us what our federal government is willing to let the regime do without input from the commonwealth.
The No Kings numbers was a warning, a bellwether. Let's see if they're able to pick up on what it means.
when I saw the pictures I thought it perfectly represented the state of the US and our government.
haha
Oh, man... imagine not reading the news for the last few days and then reading this title.
just imagine Obama doing that during his term. i think half of them would just straight up die to an aneurysm. they had conniptions when he wore a tan suit.
Don't fall for it. Trump is using poop to deflect from the pee. Never forget the pee! Release the Epstein files and put this guy in a cell already. It's finally time for the victim's of these rich powerful people to win one.
I'm reminded about when he broke up a protest against police brutality to get a photo op in front of a church in 2020. I guess that sort of thing is just another tuesday
I never forgot about that. But the problem is that every fucking day Trump does something insane. It is actually really, REALLY hard to keep up. When anti-Trumpers do something wrong, it is often the biggest thing they did and people will not shut up about it.
I mean imagine if this a crime like burglary. A guy who did a single burglary years ago has obviously done something wrong, but what if you got a second person who provably did hundreds? I'm sorry, but you can't just focus on the latest shit. Trump has been doing this basically his entire life. He has no redeeming virtues whatsoever. Even during his 'business' days in the 80s and 90s when he was going from failure to failure, he would insult his investors that he didn't screw them up even more... and they would still give him more money for his next failed scheme. I don't get it.
Do his diapers collect it for the strafing runs?
I knew he was full of shit, but Jesus Christ he was full of shit.
This is the setup to the wildest aristocrats joke. Once somebody releases the video of trump banging his daughter in a room full of shit it will be complete.
Really gotta hand to the dems for their fantastic response lol
It's shocking to witness what's happening in the US of A as an outsider.
Well, unfortunately many other countries aren't looking at the USA as a warning, but as an example.
The right wing is gaining ground in a lot of places that should know better.
The warnings were there when the George W. Bush administration was doing all the things. We should have learned then never again to vote Republican, but we did. Twice. For the same monster both times.
We need to be having a sober conversation as to why and how that happened, given democracy doesn't work when people vote based on vibes or propaganda feels.

Unfortunately, it seems like a lot of people are primarily vibes driven. Everyone is, in some cases or other. For example, a lot of otherwise reasonable people will flip their shit if you suggest eating less meat for environmental or animal welfare reasons. You just get excuses and variations of "but i like it" and "but i'm a good person".

That is the line of reasoning that leads to anti-democratic authoritarianism. Humans use heuristics and emotion to make decisions the vast majority of the time. We might call that a values-based judgment if we are being charitable.
The current leadership uses notions of loyalty and in-group/out-group membership, and their MAGA supporters are swayed by disgust emotions manipulated by propagandists. However, I'll admit that I'm driven by sense of fairness, or even moral outrage at naked corruption and abuse of power, waste, etc. We all do it. When people are hurting, you have to give them a solution that feels good -feels like it will make things better. Sending a strong message that crony capitalists are siphoning all the wealth off the middle-class to make you poorer, and they need to be taxed into the dirt feels like vindication and something that could work, for example. You have to hit both sides of the human coin.
No, this is a line of reasoning that leads to something different than what we got, which could be authoritarianism, or could be a better democracy... or we could try sortition, eliminating the role of the politician, entirely.
This was established in the Federalist Papers, that democracy works when the constituent a) knows their personal best interests and b) votes accordingly. In fact much of the post Southern Strategy GOP movement towards authoritarianist domination of the federal theater has been focused on getting constituents to vote against their own best interests, whether in favor of vibes or towards single issues (e.g. abortion access, gun control) or based on cultural pressure (liberalism = communism).
There are many directions we can go to make the system more democratic, many of which include moving away from FPTP elections (which promote a two party system, making third parties untenable) but we've also had some success in actually educating the constituency and instilling in them a sense of duty to do their civic homework and know what they're voting for.
If people didn't respond to these, then Trump would have won in November 2024 by a much wider margin than fractions of percents spread across several battleground states, and he wouldn't have needed the support of the EC and gerrymandering to give the illusion of a mandate. The GOP and its vibes-based voting system is propped up by a trillion-dollar propaganda machine to keep Americans uninformed and believing in the Joe Rogan way of life.
If that's the best that democracy can do, I will be the first to dispose of it for something better. But I believe democracy can absolutely do better.
It’s upsetting but I am the least surprised I could ever be. They’ve had decades of warnings and done nothing about it as things just got worse and worse and even still they refuse to admit where they are.
Ah we finally got a real president with such class and decorum -ppl that voted for orange
I really hope dems keep using that against them but they are spineless until proven otherwise. I would drooling at all this ammo just handed to me.
"He's not calling for the murder of his political opponents" yes he did. He said certain political opponents are terrorists and deserve the death penalty. Also, this is about him shitting on his own people, don't change the subject you piece of shit.
