I love how ridiculously fake the representation of him is. Not fat, not wearing heel lifts, no ass out because of the lifts, no tie dangling over the precipice of a McDonalds belly, no ridiculous coiffeur of a combover.

Our Dear Leader.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago

That is not a statue of him.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Why is that statue shiny orange????

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 week ago

The writers this season aren’t even trying anymore.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

LOL, that's supposed to be him?

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

That's not him. Where's the signature paunch?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Not to mention the paunch as well

Does it smell like a combination of Old Spice and English Leather?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Naw it is dirty diapers and beef grease

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

You forgot the twice fried KFC and room temperature ketchup.

What does the Bible say about those who worship golden statues?

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

Don’t worry, the target audience is people who can’t read.

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

Target Audience is people who don't give a flying fuck about the bible or the brown socialist terrorist inside it

You know, the majority of American "Christians"

The fragrance is available in two versions – one for men and one for women – and will set back supporters a whopping $249 for each 100ml bottle.

A Profile of Trump Voters: The Demographics of his MAGA Enthusiasts and Their Relationship to Him

In their majority they tend to be white, male, and mainly older, are highly conservative, support traditional values such as religion and proud patriotism, are less likely to have a college degree, are more likely to be rural or small town-based and lower-income

I dunno if $250 bottles of cologne is highly aligned with what Trump's demographic wants, but I suppose he has more experience in brand building than I have.

It’s going to flop, but that’s ok because they only bought one lot from the Chinese factory

RIP to the ER staff in deep red states being subjected to whatever stories they're gonna hear.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 week ago

~deep~ red states

At least the base is flared.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So can we assume it smells like some combination of stale bronzer, McDonalds, flop sweat and ass?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

Oh it's definitely gonna smell like some asses.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago

If it DOESNT smell like DIRTY DIAPER I'm going to be ANGRY but Still vote for Trump again!

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I don't think Trump has ever had that body shape. It's weird that he both signed it and put "his" likeness on it when he isn't the kind of famous person that people normally want either of those things from

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It should be doing the weird Trump Lean

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

That would be iconic!

He is incapable of that though

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

Before you know it there will be a Trump fan shop in every city, selling his parfume and other nonsense. Then they'll conquer the rest of the market: 'gold' side tables, 'gold' doormats, 'gold' bread knives, 'gold' salami, 'gold' olives, 'gold' potatoes, 'gold' paperclips, 'gold' sunglasses, 'gold' flip-flops, you name it. All with his head on it. And of course that signature 45-47 lettering. Super exclusive.

Americans = QVC shoppers.

It's like his demographic is people that buy diet pills and insurance from daytime tv commercials.
