The only thing Trump needs to add to the Oval Office is his brains sprayed a wall after an American patriot executes him for high treason.
It’ll make a nice 1cm square of pink (remember, these are brains we’re talking about.)
So self-involved
Looks like that guy on the left is humping Trumps leg.
That's the woman. Who, ironically, couldn't adequately cover Trump's body mass. 😂
The woman?
The mark of a modern Republican/fascist
What happened to right wingers? I clearly remember that narcism was universally considered a bad trait especially among conservatives. How are they accepting that?
What ever gave you the impression conservatives didn't glorify narcissists?
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.
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.
Are we talking about the Canadian Conservative Party? Or am I missing something?
Now this MF is building “statues” of himself. How many red flags can they “slip” past?
There are plans to create a 9-foot-tall version in bronze in the works, according to the project’s website.
Good fucking lord.
Holy fuck that's so cringe. What a fucking narcissist.
There are plans to create a 9-foot-tall version in bronze in the works, according to the project’s website.
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...
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.
Interesting. Where'd you hear that?
This makes me more suspicious that the whole fucking thing was staged
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.
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.
"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.
If it were staged, why would they pick a Republican to be the fall guy, instead of a woke Marxist?
I mean, the Marxist wouldn't try to miss.
Republicans are easy to trick and are way more violent.
Here's the thing...
He's a fat useless cunt.
The end.
The world will be a better place when he's dead.
I disagree in the long term. He'd disappear, but the problem would persist. Someone else would eventually take his place.
That being said, he's clearly harmful and I can't come up with a better solution, so...
Every day, I wake up in hope of seeing that headline.

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?
almost as if the whole event was staged to get a boost in the polls
I will continue to voice my opposition to this take.
People in the crowd got hit and one died, there's a picture of Crooks' head split open by sniper fire. There is no proof it was a setup beyond how Trump and his campaign leveraged it, which isn't really proof.
Clinging onto this theory feels like the same kind of smarmy double speak Holocaust deniers use. "It didn't happen, but I wish it did."
I wouldn't bet on a fucking Navy SEAL winging a moving target on the ear at 400-500'. Anyone thinking it was staged has two issues: They watched too many action movies and have never shot a rifle.
They definitely didn't stage it by actually shooting him. If it was staged, he used a blood pack and was not hit. That would track with his ear recovering so quickly.
The way the tissue regenerated was miraculous, wasn't it? No ragged gaps, no scar tissue...

Fair, and I don't believe it was staged. BUT, somebody dying doesn't mean it wasn't staged. It just means they're willing to sacrifice some lives to secure power.
yeah trump would never put anyone in harms way to benefit him

they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
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
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.

Monuments to oneself are a classic dictator move

If he continues ruling like that, he's going to need more floor space. :)
If it were another house, I'd recommend a statue of a small crowd of Soviet citizens heroically overwhelming a man who missed Brezhnev with a pistol. The statue should be equipped with audio, so if a visitor approaches, the audio should play and multilingual translations should run on a screen, narrating the approximate dialogue:
<bang>
you missed him
<bang>
really poor shot
<bang>
hey, let me try
<bang>
give me the gun
<bang>
you're wasting ammo, give me the damn gun
<bang>
stop resisting, I will take the gun from you now
(sadly it's based on an anecdote, no such historical event has occurred)
Looks like he's about to get suplexed.
Fucking pathetic
