You'd almost think Trump didn't have any principles.

There are too many departures from current reality in that official meme image to list, but THG was always a slouch.

It’s just like Itchy & Scratchy money on the Simpsons. It’s just like real money except it’s…fun. (And not accepted anywhere at Itchy & Scratchy Land.)

Trump’s faithful aren’t (for the most part) being duped, in my opinion. That’s giving them too much sympathy. Foolish and easily manipulated is one thing. The vast majority know this is a cash grab by Trump and it’s just for fun. They want to send him money anyway. They get to give Trump what he wants most and be part of the “Trump Community” in their minds. As Trump says, “have fun!”

He could offer a soft drink called “A Taste of Trump,” a cheap carbonated beverage made in China that tastes like “ketchup, perspiration, adult diapers and feet.” Wrapped in red, white and blue packaging stolen from Faygo rocket pop soda, it’s liquid patriotism! Only $47 for a 6 pack. It would sell like hot soda.

I think you're giving him too much credit. Trump tried and failed at selling vodka and bottled water.

The ten second guy deserved that free beer for the cool matter-of-fact way he did it.

"Hey, it's what I do."

In fact, I think he deserves a second free beer just for being cool about it.

It’s just the beginning. Medicaid portals crashed due to the draconian bans on woke funding, grants and loans. Millions of people couldn’t process benefits and providers, doctors and hospitals couldn’t get paid. Nothing to see here. Just Trump crashing the entire government to the delight of the Project 2025 people. How many of those stranded Medicaid recipients are Trump voters? Many.

Fear not, TrumpCare is being launched by that Dread Pirate Roberts guy! “All Medicaid recipients and participants are encouraged to submit requests for payment to TrumpCare.grift. Your request will be processed in 90 days, if at all. Trump himself will bless each payment or denial, so you know it’s legit! Payments will be made in cryptocurrency, so open your crypto wallet today. Oh, and have fun!”

I’d love to hear the directives from Trump Org given to the creator of that “meme coin” rendering of Trump.

“He’s got to be fit, like a 45-year-old former cage fighter who still works out and eats a vegan diet. But he needs to LOOK like he eats steak and burgers, manly foods. Do NOT depict him with an orange, doughy face or huge bottom, neither of which he has! And his suit should fit tightly over his tight, stout body. Finally, his hands must be YUGE! Make them fists like a heavyweight boxer. He can crack walnuts in one hand. They should look like super hero fists of power. Now, however large you just made them, super-size them! These are massive, masculine hands - the kind of hands that need breasts in them.

Keep his eyes squinty and mean, we want this to look realistic.”

I keep reading "$MELANIA" as "Smellania", which is kinda fishy

We need to start calling her that.

At least they're playing stop the clock for Sapporo and not something disgusting like Coors or Bud.

Now that the law doesn’t want to anything about their scuzzy grifting, I guess we’re reduced to nobody buying their cheap ass stuff… oh, wait.

My limited knowledge of crypto:

1. Some bro does something with computers which uses as much electricity as the entire country of Spain.

2. The computers moan and spit out a digital spluge.

3. Bro trades the spluge to an idiot for real money.

4. Profit!

My limited knowledge of crypto:

It's favored by drug dealers, arms dealers, human traffickers, money launderers, and techbros, and I am none of those things.

Crypto! The only/best choice if you want to bribe the president. Lose money the easy way, with a "not for investment" crappy memecoin.

Trump has zero chance of picking my pocket with a voluntary purchase. This is because I wouldn't buy air from him if someone was holding my head under water. The Trump believers who typically buy his shit are hard to pity in my opinion

But those same Trump supporters can't afford eggs or gas. Thanks Biden!

Less money to send to the races in '26.

wait, are the leopards heading their way, licking their lips? did those cryptobros pull a bullwinkle (this time, fer sure!) when it came to trusting That Man wouldn't harm their brand while making a quick buck?

Given Sir's slim images does it mean Sir is aware of Sir's Morbidly Obese self, also images?

His second term is gonna age him in triple time, and I am here for it.

Hank Napkin's avatar

Y’know, interesting article a while ago, maybe The Atlantic, concerning this very fact. That the weight of the office ages its occupant yet has not seemed to touch Sir Kooky Pants. I doubt he feels it at all. He’s like a kid in a sandbox full of his own shit. Happy and Oblivious!

Daniel O'Riordan's avatar

Sir fucking hates himself with the fire of a thousand suns. The only thing he hates more is that idea that the adoring masses may see him as he really is.

Hank Napkin's avatar

That's been my theory all along -- self-loathing on a galactic scale.

assumes fact not in evidence: self awareness

Absolutely. His marketing bitches showed him the pic and he said, “Yep, that looks about right.”
