He loses nothing tho, it's the american people he's pissing on.

[-] shawn1122@lemm.ee 16 points 1 day ago

I mean they voted for it so shrugs. This was a policy he campaigned on.

No no no, tariffs totally help own the Libs. Wake up sheeple

330M Americans and 77M of them voted for Trump while 75M voted for Harris. The 77M were distributed across a selection of states with 312 EC votes, which is why he won. Harris's 75M would have carried her if she'd traded a few hundred thousand votes in Texas or Florida for a winning balance in Georgia, Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. This, despite the fact that nobody voted for Harris in the primaries.

To say "the Americans voted for this" puts far too much credit on the dysfunctional, byzantine, and ultimately anti-populist presidential selection system. Americans don't get to decide their president in any meaningful capacity. Not to get all annoyingly-conservative with the talking points, but we really do live in a Roman-style Republican more than a Greek-style Democracy.

You mean the people who chose him, knowing full well he'd do this?... oh no!

[-] agent_nycto@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

And all the people that didn't choose him :/

[-] Kichae@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago

We didn't choose him either, but we gotta deal.

[-] Jericho_Kane@lemmy.org 3 points 1 day ago

Theses piss enjoyers don't count as real people

[-] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

And, unfortunately, the President represents the people.

[-] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

And there's definitely a lot splashing over onto Canadians.

[-] merc@sh.itjust.works 3 points 16 hours ago

Unfortunately, this is also how counter-tariffs work.

[-] Squorlple@lemmy.world 142 points 1 day ago

Jokes on you, he’s into that.

Also, his hand would not be that far away from his waist.

[-] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Some really talented hacker really needs to get their hands on the pee tape or whatever they have on Trump (I fear it'll be a video recording made on the Epstein island).

[-] LeFantome@programming.dev 1 points 17 hours ago

They do not have anything on Trump. Putin just told him he was not man enough to destroy America and Trump is trying to prove him wrong.

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 25 points 1 day ago

He's an innie.

[-] adarza@lemmy.ca 20 points 1 day ago

he'd be reaching way down underneath that mountain of flab he's got.

and these toons always make him look way better than he is in person. he's one ugly mofo, especially once the spraypaint is sandblasted off.

Made me breathe out my nose stronger that usual.

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 63 points 1 day ago

Would that he was pissing in his own face.

In reality, he will feel nothing and all of us get piss in our faces.

I hate this timeline.

[-] PassingThrough@lemm.ee 27 points 1 day ago

Exactly. For the US reality version of this image, the Canada Fan needs to angle higher, propelling the fluid over Trump’s head, and into a crowd of Americans behind him. Because that’s how it is.

Getting his own face would mean this affects him personally. It does not. He’s proud of it even, pissing into the wind without a care in the world. The rest get rained on.

Remember when he was infected with COVID-19? Fun times.

[-] danc4498@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

You’ve been asking for trickle. Well here it is

[-] _lilith@lemmy.world 25 points 1 day ago

ah, so that's what he meant by "golden age"

[-] GrumpyDuckling@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 day ago

They're cutting taxes for the rich and making the rest of us make up for it.

[-] distantsounds@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

If only it would actually hit him. The piss is really hitting all the non-elite tho

[-] zachimusprime44@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

absolute masterpiece this is.

[-] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago

especially against your closest allies.

[-] forrgott@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago

I figure they got it wrong. The fan is facing away from him, and we're all on the other side...
