Now this MF is building “statues” of himself. How many red flags can they “slip” past?

Monuments to oneself are a classic dictator move

He's in the shallow end of the pool, but he's going to keeping getting worse and more unhinged

The suspension of Habeas corpus is deep end

... Shallow end of the pool with a goddamned diaper on...

[-] Irelephant@lemm.ee 19 points 1 month ago

There are plans to create a 9-foot-tall version in bronze in the works, according to the project’s website.

Good fucking lord.

[-] RedditIsDeddit@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

We'll just cut the head off that down theroad.

[-] Irelephant@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

I look forward to seeing the video of you guys pulling the statue down.

[-] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 month ago

BTW, Trump was never hit by a bullet. He hurt his ear when a SS guard rushed to cover him and hit him with his gun holster.

[-] coherent_domain@infosec.pub 15 points 1 month ago

If he is gonna spend public money to worship himself, I at least expect the statue to be slightly higher quality than this piece of crap.

It was quite an artistic choice to make the female secret service agent look like she is cowering in fear rather than the reality that she was trying to tackle/take a bullet for the dumbass target who wouldnt stay down.

Then by comparison you have the male agent who looks like hes at the beach and not even concerned about gunfire at all. Its actually impressive how much misogyny is dripping out of this statue

Not to mention we all know Trump was not anywhere close to the tallest of the people on that stage

[-] yeather@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 month ago

During the actual event the female agent seemed to be pulling Trump down and blocking his front and side, while the male agent was pushing him down and shielding overtop him. The main issue is Trump is old and built like a frog, so you can’t apply much oressure or else you make him tumble. This probably allowed him to break free and stand for the fight moment.

The site asks for contributions ranging from $10, which will earn donors a vote on the location of where the statue will be permanently installed, to $25,000 to receive a limited quarter-life-size bronze replica.

Contributors who give $4,500 will receive a 12-inch sculpture. “These sculptures are the same one’s [sic] being offered to big money donors to The Trump Campaign,” the site says.

Jesus fucking Christ...

[-] futatorius@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

Another grift. Should have known.

[-] MordercaSkurwysyn@lemm.ee 14 points 1 month ago

What happened to right wingers? I clearly remember that narcism was universally considered a bad trait especially among conservatives. How are they accepting that?

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 15 points 1 month ago

What ever gave you the impression conservatives didn't glorify narcissists?

[-] MordercaSkurwysyn@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

They were always shitting on teens doing anything even remotely individualistic and constantly talking about being humble. That's how I viewed my parents and grandparents generations between 90s and circa 2010.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 17 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

That's never actually about humility though, that's about enforcing heirarchy. Dear Leader gets to be as arrogant as he wants, the kids deserve to get slapped into "their place."

The CEOs get their gold toilets, the prosperity gospel preachers their fleets of luxury cars, and the peons are to be humble and obedient.

Here's the thing...
He's a fat useless cunt.
The end.

This makes me more suspicious that the whole fucking thing was staged

[-] FilthyHookerSpit@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Like the fact that SS knew about the shooter way before he even set up his rifle? Or the lack of investigation into the guy? I mean they went on and on and on about hunters laptop but an actual attempt on Trump's life? Never mentioned before this.

[-] Jamablaya@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

"lack of investigation" is fairly normal when the person is dead. Anyways, it's really, really, really obvious the Secret Service decided to let the kid take his shot before they killed him.

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 month ago

I doubt it as many people hate Trump and want him to die. He definitely leaned into the whole victim thing but I'm sure the attempt was real.

Such a gigantic ego for such a loser.

Holy fuck that's so cringe. What a fucking narcissist.

[-] KingPorkChop@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 month ago

The world will be a better place when he's dead.

Every day, I wake up in hope of seeing that headline.

Oh good, that'll make a beautiful visual as well pull that piece of shit down!

[-] superkret@feddit.org 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

symbolizes the divine intervention as well as the man and his message of unity and resilience for which America stands

So, Jesus "giving his own life" (for 3 days) is a huge deal, and a huge sacrifice, but then God kinda "volunteers" Corey Comperatore to die for Trump, without asking?

[-] CoffeeJunkie@lemmy.cafe 6 points 1 month ago

It gets messy when people act like God has an active hand in every single little thing that happens. It's right up there with "everything happens for a reason". You know, rape happens for a reason. You just don't know why yet.

I like to frame it as free will & sometimes things just...happen. Accidents happen. Free will principle. Sometimes bad things happen because of bad people, sometimes bad things happen because you're stupid...it just seems to make more sense than an overly involved god.

[-] peetabix@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Looks like that guy on the left is humping Trumps leg.

edit: Turns out its a woman.

[-] CoffeeJunkie@lemmy.cafe 3 points 1 month ago

That's the woman. Who, ironically, couldn't adequately cover Trump's body mass. 😂

So self-involved
