It's really wild when some polling seems to indicate they are not satisfied with him, and yet.... Poll or interviewer: would you vote for him again, tho?
The mark/idiot: "Yep"
They are so brainwashed that they simply cannot imagine voting for a Democrat, because that would make them gay or woke or whatever. The branding and the propaganda works on these people pretty much for life. This go-round they seem to think that voting was all about trans ("men in women's sports") or something.
It basically boils down to teams. Do you abandon your baseball team because they suck? Nope, you cling to them like grim death. Trump is an incompetent senile psycho? Sure, but he's "my team". You'd have to abandon your identity to switch teams.
When I talk to people I suspect are Trumpers (they never come right out to me) they go on about things like illegal immigrants. I just nod and think "How do they hurt you? You love having cheap labor working on your house. You'd never want one of the jobs they have." Things that really effect them, like the economy or the massive class divide, don't register with them.
When I talk to people I suspect are Trumpers (they never come right out to me)
The term for these people that I just love is "reactionary centrists". Some of them will even claim to be "independents", LOL, but the very minute you do even the bare minimum of asking a few questions, you usually find someone that has an entire array of Faux News style talking points just aching to come out...
It describes them perfectly and simultaneously lampoons the bullshit narrative of a "center" in this country that the Democrats have, of course, drifted too far away from, because as everyone just knows, the Democrats are soooo extremist. So yeah, PEDOnald might be a pedo and a rapist and total con artist and have no idea how to do anything and is only out to enrich himself as he destroys the country, but the Democrats have the TRANS AGENDA and are aching to have doctors take away your son's winky while he's off at school!
oh please do it. chefs kiss. the only bright spot from this guy is the way his life is just facade. Not an inch of depth anywhere. no actual love at all. all hate smiles.
If he weren't in such a powerful position where his shallow childishness was harmless, it would be hilarious how sad this dude is. This medal doesn't matter, ultimately. But apparently the thought that he might get an undeserving Nobel prize was all that held him back from starting multiple wars. He needs a full time ass kisser that praises him when he's not a complete psychopath to reinforce that behavior.
Your comment just made me figure it out, we're so stupid it's our fault literally our fault. We know he's a moron we know he's a mobster we me know he's an asshole...
We think of the Nobel Peace prize as an award given for an accomplishment. The orange buffoon doesn't think in terms of accomplishment He thinks in terms of bribes the Nobel Peace prize was a bribe to keep him from starting wars.....
Keep in mind he's not just a moron, monster, asshole, he's also a clinical narcissist. He actually does think that he deserves both the Nobel Prize and the Medal of Honor, because he thinks he's literally better than everyone else. So if anyone deserves it, surely he also does too because he's better than the people who do deserve it.
Is the Medal of Honor enough? Given Trump's qualities, doesn't he warrant some form of higher award that would place him somewhere above all the existing Medal of Honor awardees?
The Medal of Honor has non-gold components. He could make a new medal out of solid gold. And call it whatever he wanted. The Medal of Extraordinary Honor, say.
Trump receives inaugural 'America First award' from Republican Party
"We’re going to do something we've never done before. We’re going to honor him with a new award that we'll present annually from this point forward, but he is the suitable and fitting recipient of the first-ever America First award," Johnson said. "We can think of no better title for what that is...that's this beautiful golden statue here, appropriate for the new golden era in America."
Trump does seem like the suitable and fitting recipient of the first-ever America First award!
Incredible. Absolutely amazing how they can, straight-faced, declare a "golden era" after: War crimes, a botched random war Putin-like military operation claiming countless innocent lives, insane energy prices, unemployment and poverty rapidly approaching Great Depression levels (did we break the record yet?), various high ranking officials getting canned for incompetence and corruption, not to mention massively growing protests in the streets after citizens are politically gunned down by armed goon-clowns.
All because Great Leader refuses to confess to his heinous rapes of countless children likely including his own.
It really is just magical "emperor's new clothes" thinking. It's Kremlin or North Korea-esque dictatorial absurdity.
Oh yeah, this big stupid waste of precious metal and pompous ceremony is YET ANOTHER DISTRACTION FROM THOSE FILES THEY'RE ALL IN.
They're planning this "award" yearly?! LMAO. They're gonna give him one of these stupid things once a year and everybody's supposed to act like it's a surprise?!
President Camacho; chose the smartest person in the world to replace him; thereby showing an empathy and level of intelligence sadly lacking in the real world.
He already seems to be imitating Kim in so many ways. Big difference is he has a powerful prosperous country to take down his path of narcissistic insanity.
Oh please let him do it. Let him build his tacky ballroom, let him put his signature on the money, let him smear his feces on the declaration of independence. Future generations of Americans need embarrassing reminders of what can happen to America, reminders they can't ignore, and at least these don't have a body count attached.
One of the reasons for the proliferation of medals is that North Korean generals are often allowed to wear decorations originally awarded to their parents or grandparents. This tradition reflects North Korea’s emphasis on familial loyalty and continuity in service to the state. By displaying these inherited medals, generals symbolically link their achievements to those of their forebears, perpetuating a narrative of multi-generational commitment to the regime and the nation’s ideals.
The roots of North Korea’s extensive medal culture can be traced back to the Korean War (1950–1953), during which many awards were introduced to recognize military valor. As the war concluded and active conflict ceased, the scope of these decorations expanded to include contributions in non-military spheres, blurring the lines between military and civilian achievements.
So think of it kind of like, oh, hereditary titles in an aristocracy or something. It's a "I'm the grandson of person who was important some time back" sort of thing. The people with lots of medals belong to a family that has been in the "in" crowd for some time.
the scope of these decorations expanded to include contributions in non-military spheres, blurring the lines between military and civilian achievements.
"My great grand-daddy killed fiddy men, and my daddy got boyscout merit badges for polishing the most Great Leader statues, and that's why I'm your discord admin" kinda energy going on here.
Some of the first people to get it got it doing a massacre of Native Americans so this seems more like going back to basics with an Obama giving himself a medal meme included but with more pedo shitting himself vibes.
Wow. It's like the horribleness of the bad guy from roger rabbit mied with the craziness of Doc from back to the future. Only the crazy personality is dominant.
Grandiose, thick-skinned NPD patients show a sense of uniqueness or superiority, attitudes of entitlement, a belief that others envy their abilities or status, low empathy, social dominance, superficial charm, disdainfulness or snobbery, and an exploitative interpersonal style characterized by manipulation and selfishness.
Or he could just call up people who have received it (or their heirs if deceased), and have one of them give him theirs, like he did with the Nobel Prize. Maybe even several of them, so he can brag that he was awarded more Medals of Honor than anyone in history.
I'm so disappointed it from THAT album.... maybe the music sucks because the focus is, misery the lyrics are trying to convey? My brain kinda focuses on the music vs the lyrics so the Final Cut is a very hard album to enjoy, but maybe there's more to it..
Oh I know.... I honestly find the half of the Wall that sounds similar to the Final Cut very unpleasant too, I much prefer Atom Heart Mother or Meddle, but I'm not hearing the lyrics, just the music.
Wish you were here and Animals are amazing too. DSOTM is just simply its own beast.
Yes, the meritorious medal for bravery in the deferment line, the Purple Fart, isn't enough for Generalissimo Trumpo - the new El Presidente of what was formerly known as Venezuela but is now the State of Trumpo (Spanish for "Trump").
His should have four 'F' clusters. For his deferments due to his daddy's money.
He’s losing it. I can’t wait to see the treasure trove from 8 years of unbridled insanity that will spill open once’s he’s gone and everyone can tell the truth again.
This is a useless advertisement of mentally ill persons' delusions. Whoever that person is, that advertisement is still useless - - both for us and everyone else.
I'm reminded of the meme where this guy thinks he's number one -- biting the medal, kissing the presenter, shit like that -- when he's actually the last down off the podium.
Congressional Medal of Honour Winner Donald J Trump for services rendered awarded by a greatful country and a cowardly congress. Sure go ahead put your name forward despoil everything that was held sacred.
Look I am not saying this isnt true, however I half remember a story from either the end of his first term or shortly after where some aide came out saying they would compete to see who could get the most insane story printed. This 100% feels like that with the medal of honor part. I could also be misremembering or made the story up in my head to same my own sanity. So, maybe I am wrong.

So we're gonna need to build a Truman show set, with actors (or fucking clones, I dunno) of people in his admin, to literally contain his madness.
Just... yep Donald, yep, you're still the President, and everyone loves you, mhm, yep.
This is certainly morally superior to the reverse, where he is just an insane madman, but... actually in charge of important things.

Damn, did you write that?
That's quite good as a poem, and you could probably build a kickass array of songs out of it as well.

I'm so disappointed it from THAT album.... maybe the music sucks because the focus is, misery the lyrics are trying to convey? My brain kinda focuses on the music vs the lyrics so the Final Cut is a very hard album to enjoy, but maybe there's more to it..

Oh I know.... I honestly find the half of the Wall that sounds similar to the Final Cut very unpleasant too, I much prefer Atom Heart Mother or Meddle, but I'm not hearing the lyrics, just the music.
Wish you were here and Animals are amazing too. DSOTM is just simply its own beast.

I still think it's possible that in 2016 the Republicans told him they were hiring him to play the President in a mockumentary.

Yes, the meritorious medal for bravery in the deferment line, the Purple Fart, isn't enough for Generalissimo Trumpo - the new El Presidente of what was formerly known as Venezuela but is now the State of Trumpo (Spanish for "Trump").
His should have four 'F' clusters. For his deferments due to his daddy's money.
Regrettable_incident@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 105d
It would be the State of Pedo (Which actually is Spanish for 'trump')
Either that's just a coincidence or we're living in a simulation.

He’s losing it. I can’t wait to see the treasure trove from 8 years of unbridled insanity that will spill open once’s he’s gone and everyone can tell the truth again.

who could possibly be awarded the medal of honor during a time when the US is terrorizing the world?
who could possibly accept it if they were given it?
oh, he's considering giving it to himself. that makes more sense

At the end, he'll simultaneously award himself the Medal of Honor, and also give himself a Pardon.

I'm reminded of the meme where this guy thinks he's number one -- biting the medal, kissing the presenter, shit like that -- when he's actually the last down off the podium.

Why the Sexiest Man Alive Medal as well? 77 million would drop on their knees to "praise" him.

No. The only part Congress might play is waiving the time limits.

Look I am not saying this isnt true, however I half remember a story from either the end of his first term or shortly after where some aide came out saying they would compete to see who could get the most insane story printed. This 100% feels like that with the medal of honor part. I could also be misremembering or made the story up in my head to same my own sanity. So, maybe I am wrong.
The yelling and other parts probably true though.
