Surprised I hadn’t seen this emoji representation of Trump before, it’s perfect 🫲🍊🫱

Something's fucky

The picture in the Mediate article is a cropped version of the one in this article which has been circulating all day.

Look at the license plate, the shoes and clothes.

If I won the $1B powerball and Trump also died, Im confident I know what Id consider to be the best thing to happen to me this week

[-] bizzle@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

I forgot that I even bought a ticket because I was so excited about the mere prospect of that bastard dying

[-] Taleya@aussie.zone 4 points 6 months ago

Deepfake!!

Fuckit, lets turn the tables

I saw people saying on Bluesky that this was from a month-old video, can anyone confirm?

[-] altphoto@lemmy.today 2 points 6 months ago

I totally Missed this whole thing! WTF. You guys need to send more updates and such. Imagine the lost opportunity to feel that emotion temporarily!

[-] Sumocat@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Upgraded from secretly dying to visibly dying.

[-] unconsequential@slrpnk.net 2 points 6 months ago

Uff he’s ancient. He needs to be poopin’ his pants at brunch somewhere with his grandkids screaming “grandpa smells again!” in public really loud, not making a fascist power grab.

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 months ago

Sorry if anyone got their hopes up.

[-] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 6 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

I'm honestly torn. Trump is definitely being "handled" by the Project 2025 architects (the Heritage Foundation), but he is such an idiotic narcissistic ass that he also tends to fuck their plans up a bit. Vance, on the other hand, will be a dutiful little soldier boy, and not get in their way so much - which is why the HF got Trump to pick him despite the bad blood between them. I'm really a bit more scared of that - kind of a "be careful what you wish for" situation.

[-] MacGuffin94@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

You're forgetting that cults don't continue when the leader is gone. Trump doesn't his entire life getting people to believe him and love him or hate him he is good at it. Vance sucks. No one likes him and he will not be able to continue the grift when Donny dies. They have no one past him that can handle the base and the party. There is going to be a lot more pain when he is gone because of all the fighting. Better case unfortunately would be for midterms to happen then he dies then at least there's a chance the GOP won't have full control over the government

[-] Buffalox@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

All true, but we are very near a point with USA where Vance doesn't need a cult following, he can rule as a dictator supported by oligarchs. He already has the military and intelligence services and the supreme court. The rest will follow, as resistance is weeded out by those powers.

[-] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 2 points 6 months ago

That is the goal of Project 2025 and the Heritage Foundation.

The goal isn't so much who leads it, as long as it's the wealthy white Christian Nationalists.

I mean, Scientology is doing pretty well since the death of L Ron Hubbard.

[-] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 6 months ago

And Mormonism, The Children of God/The Family, Aleph/Aum Shinrikyo, etc.

[-] waddle_dee@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

These are just taking in the cults that have succeeded. It's survivorship bias. There's countless more cults that have died out, or faded away time, and time again.

[-] FartMaster69@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 months ago

Hell, Christianity pretty much started as a Roman era cult around Jesus.

[-] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

That's kinda what I mean - if Trump dies now, the HF still has plenty of time left before the midterms to do the most damage possible using Vance. I'm sure they have their marionette strings tied to enough Republican Congress critters to get their stuff done even without Trump's bullying & they can coach Vance on the rest. If Trump goes, I think I'd rather it be a LOT closer to the midterm election.

ETA: Don't forget they're the party in power, and can change all sorts of things that will affect their chances in the election, too. Those things don't have to hold up legally, just cause legal delays that let them keep power.

Caption: “My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.”

[-] logicbomb@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

I don't want Trump dead. I want to see him pay in some way for his countless crimes.

If he just dies because he's old, then he's never faced any justice.

[-] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 1 points 6 months ago

I would prefer that, too, but reality is that's extremely unlikely to happen. As such, I'm more focused on getting through this so the damage can be undone as quickly as possible.

Nation Mourns as Trump is Found Alive

[-] AlexLost@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

He must be so pissed off we are all laughing and joking about his death. I for one hope he is still alive just to see us revel with glee at the idea of his passing. He deserves it soooo much!

[-] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

It’s crazy how I sound like a conspiracy theorist when I say this doesn’t look like him. His nose and neck look off. As another mentioned his makeup looks too good.

[-] mvilain@fedia.io 1 points 6 months ago

I'm thinking of a t-shirt with a body hanging by it's entrails from a lamppost. Caption:

"Has he chosen his lampost yet?"

I'm sure someone will come up with something better.

Devastatingly tragic to hear that the cancer that is killing America still exists.

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
