X users are scoffing at the banner, saying it has a ‘North Korean aesthetic’ and gives off ‘Saddam Hussein vibes’

      How long before you get run over by the "I didn’t vote for this " crowd who sit home and watch desperate housewives while typing furiously.

    This is fascism.

    How are there still people in denial about it?

      I genuinely wonder how long it will be before he starts to have public statues built of himself with federal funds on federal land

      He doesn’t have nearly that much class. He is a gold painted plastic non-body-safe buttplug at best.

    Why did they use his ‘I’m currently shitting myself’ expression?

      It’s his official photo. The same thing in an 8x10 frame is hanging in every Federal building.

        That just makes me wonder why they used his ‘surreptitiously shitting’ expression for the official photo.

          From what I’ve read, he wears diapers, and regularly shits himself. I want to believe this is the truth, because it would be funny.

      Hitler, Mussolini, Salazar, Franco, Stalin, the Kim family, Mao Zedong, Putin, Khadafi, Saddam Hussein, Trump, etc.

      Nothing new. What do they have in common?

      I’d give 20-1 odds that it’s a Chinese-made print on petroleum-based material, and highly unlikely to be canvas. So it would make beautiful art as it burns and drips.

      Edit: picture this- this building with this banner at night. The banner in flames at a rightward angle. At the bottom of the banner where it’s burning, the cheaply made plastic based banner melts as fast as it burns. Dripping, black molten plastic stalactites feed tiny black plastic stalagmites below. Freedom and law are seen in burn barrels behind the building.

    I can see the the kinda yin-yang thing they are going for; Lincoln the president who ended slavery and Trump, the guy who wants to turn us into slaves for the oligarchy.
