Monuments to oneself are a classic dictator move
He’s in the shallow end of the pool, but he’s going to keeping getting worse and more unhinged
… Shallow end of the pool with a goddamned diaper on…
The suspension of Habeas corpus is deep end
It definitely took a sharp turn for the sinister
I hope statesia can figure their shit out and not have to remove him the same way, but I’m not optimistic
Such a gigantic ego for such a loser.
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.
At least they got the hands right
If someone gave me a statue of myself looking that pathetic, I’d thank them profusely and shove it in my sock drawer, only bringing it out when they visit.
Fucking pathetic
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.
“Roger, alpha bravo, initiating IP address trace…”

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.
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.
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.
Now this MF is building “statues” of himself. How many red flags can they “slip” past?
What happened to right wingers? I clearly remember that narcism was universally considered a bad trait especially among conservatives. How are they accepting that?
Only the dictator can be a narcissist
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?

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…
It’s hard for me to believe that he was hit by a bullet, but the hypothesis that he was hit by glass from the teleprompter seems plausible. Cuts from sharp objects heal a lot more quickly and cleanly.
So then what, an SS sniper shot crowd members dead just to make it convincing?
Trump is a vain motherfucker, he would have used makeup to touch up his wound once he was tired of parading around his bandaged ear.
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.

They gave everyone hope that the shooter just missed, but he was never going to hit, since he shot nothing. That ear scrape was so fake leaving zero scar or scab after just a week.
The people behind Trump who were wounded or killed would like a word. If it was staged, and the wound was fake, it would have been done with blanks.
Fair point. I havent heard much or anything, really, about them.

That would be really dumb. What happens if they hit Trump in the head? There are so many factors like wind. With the large anti Trump movement I’m not really shocked someone decided to take things into their own hands. He definitely leaned into the whole victim thing but to say that the entire thing was staged is a bit extreme.
Looks like that guy on the left is humping Trumps leg.
edit: Turns out its a woman.
The mark of a modern Republican/fascist
That’s the woman. Who, ironically, couldn’t adequately cover Trump’s body mass. 😂
The woman?
This man was never shot.
So so close…
Holy fuck that’s so cringe. What a fucking narcissist.
So self-involved
that thing is hideous, and it’s only real resemblance to trump is that look of abject stupidity.
