I hope statesia can figure their shit out and not have to remove him the same way, but I'm not optimistic

There are plans to create a 9-foot-tall version in bronze in the works

Oh good, that'll make a beautiful visual as well pull that piece of shit down!

Such a gigantic ego for such a loser.

"What an accurate reproduction of the shit running down his leg."

So obnoxious of him.

So so close...

So self-involved

Looks like that guy on the left is humping Trumps leg.

edit: Turns out its a woman.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

That's the woman. Who, ironically, couldn't adequately cover Trump's body mass. 😂

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?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Only the dictator can be a narcissist

Are we talking about the Canadian Conservative Party? Or am I missing something?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What ever gave you the impression conservatives didn't glorify narcissists?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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.

Now this MF is building “statues” of himself. How many red flags can they “slip” past?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago

Here's the thing...
He's a fat useless cunt.
The end.

There are plans to create a 9-foot-tall version in bronze in the works, according to the project’s website.

Good fucking lord.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

We'll just cut the head off that down theroad.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

I look forward to seeing the video of you guys pulling the statue down.

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...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Another grift. Should have known.

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.

fake assassination attempt

Holy fuck that's so cringe. What a fucking narcissist.

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)
