Not surprising - Bonespurs thinks he's permanent too.

[–] moondoggie@lemmy.world 7 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

WHO THE FUCK TOLD HIM ABOUT THE EIFFEL TOWER?

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 5 points 38 minutes ago (1 children)

Just what I was thinking. There's no way orange hitler knew that it was originally a temporary structure that became permanent.

[–] MidsizedSedan@lemmy.world 2 points 29 minutes ago

I swear there was a popular meme template years ago of him typing on his phone, and another panel of a search browser saying "what does a president do?". Can't find it now. But I imagine that template with a wiki page or the tower

I hope the rain absolutely hammers down

[–] stretch2m@infosec.pub 11 points 4 hours ago (3 children)

Oh please let him live long enough to watch us tear all his tacky shit to the ground!

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 3 points 38 minutes ago

I want to see them light the det cord that demolishes mar a lago

[–] reddit_sux@lemmy.world 2 points 51 minutes ago

If you want to treat something down, treat the Golden Dick monument in Florida, the giant T on every Trump tower.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 6 points 3 hours ago (3 children)

as cathartic as that sounds, he doesn't care.

the only thing that he cares about is himself. the best punishment for him would be to be locked in a room with read only Internet to watch the world move on and him die not being able to be the center of attention.

the best way to win a game against a narcissist is to play a different game with impossible to follow rules for them.

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 2 points 36 minutes ago

Give him a twitter account but have a script change whatever he types into BLAH BLAH BLAH

[–] Toz@fedia.io 4 points 3 hours ago

Bring back damnatio memoriae (probably spelled wrong)

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

Stick him into a mental hospital and make him play cooperative board games with the other inmates until he understands the concept.

He'll die first.

Slaps top of arena This thing can hold so many guillotines

I think Trump's imagining himself like this:
Camacho speech start GIF

[–] grue@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Man, I wish he had that much self-awareness of his lack of faculties!

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 1 points 35 minutes ago* (last edited 34 minutes ago)

It's a picture from idiocracy of President Camacho sitting in his office.

But as has been pointed out many times, Camacho surrounded himself with the smartest people around, not with sycophants like little donnie two-scoops does.

[–] Sequentialsilence@lemmy.world 123 points 7 hours ago (7 children)

I work in events. That is a very temporary structure. The frame is aluminum trussing, and although it would hold up fairly well, all of the fabric will start bleaching within 3-4 weeks, the metal chains holding everything up will start rusting pretty quickly being exposed to the elements. The lights themselves aren’t IP rated and are relying on the fabric for protection so those will fail pretty quickly. Finally the stage itself has a wood underlayment that will rot within a single season if left outside.

Lastly it’s all rented and the rental company will continue to charge the client until it’s returned.

[–] reddit_sux@lemmy.world 1 points 51 minutes ago

Just like America

[–] Lydia_K@lemmy.world 121 points 7 hours ago

The ideal Trump monument.

[–] UnspecificGravity@piefed.social 29 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Can't wait to find out that this somehow cost us taxpayers like a hundred million dollars.

[–] Asafum@lemmy.world 6 points 1 hour ago

And the rental company is DefinitelyNotTrumpJr LLC.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 34 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

It'll be like a toilet in the front yard and he plants flowers in it. White trash is his style.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 17 points 7 hours ago

Ah, but the toilet is gold!

[–] YurkshireLad@lemmy.ca 29 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

They’re expecting trump to pay the rental fee? How quaint.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 19 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

It's not Donald paying. It's those of us who actually pay taxes.

[–] bus_factor@lemmy.world 16 points 6 hours ago

You just know Trump will try to screw them and pocket the money instead.

[–] herrvogel@lemmy.world 14 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I bet the last point is one of the major reasons why Trump would want it to stay. Guy seems to have a weird fetish for not paying what he owes.

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 14 points 7 hours ago

Probably a power trip, one of the few he gets away with. "Smart men don't pay taxes or bills!"

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 6 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

yes, but do you really think the orange pedo rapist would know about … (check notes) … anything?

[–] Iusedtobeanalien@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

When he claims to know about everything it's just a cover for his lack of knowledge about anything

He's suxh a cringeworthy moron

[–] Eternal192@anarchist.nexus 24 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

There is nothing Trump has done that should be permanent.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 5 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (1 children)

He better permanently stay dead once he dies. When I would wish for the world to be more like a disney movie as a kid, I didn't mean Star Wars. I don't want to see headlines saying "Somehow, Trump has returned."

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 1 points 31 minutes ago

Is it illegal to kill someone who's already legally dead?

Asking for a friend...

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.today 6 points 6 hours ago

Except his prison time and number

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

What's his cut of the Brawndo sales?

[–] FE80@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago

Trump really puts out high quality, world class, dumb. Multi layered, hints of farce; I really feel like I'm becoming a sommelier of sorts.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 41 points 7 hours ago (3 children)

I'm calling it now. Some attack will happen at these events. Trump will play the role of "oh no, I've been shot..." and then 2 hours later will brag that he's the healthiest guy the doctors ever saw.

Anybody ever see the movie Groundhog Day?

........no reason.

[–] Dragomus@lemmy.world 19 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

It is quite on the nose that they plan/hope to execute another "attack" at one of his events, be it the birthday bash or the 250 celebration.

There is no other solid reason to have these events outdoors.

They need to keep the pressure on his safety so they get to build more surveillance bunkers etc. and another miraculous recovery comes in handy to whip his followers into more of a righteous frenzy.
All to keep him locked in for a 3rd term.

Perhaps he'll lose a toe this time? Shot in the butt?

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 1 points 30 minutes ago

Sooner or later one of these fake assassins is going to accidentally hit him.

[–] lectricleopard@lemmy.world 19 points 7 hours ago

Trump actually cant book indoor event spaces anymore. They've stuffed so many for his campaigns, they aren't interested in getting stiffed again. Thats how the butler pa event ended up outside.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 11 points 7 hours ago

Some attack will happen at these events.

Went to an MMA tournament and a fight broke out

[–] Zephorah@discuss.online 18 points 7 hours ago

This whole term in the White House feels like the worst Airbnb trashing story and then some.

And, like a UFC event venue, will likely require fire hoses to wash out a good portion of the trash and stank.

[–] corbindallas@fedinsfw.app 13 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

only talk about this. FUCK

STOP FALLING FOR IT

STOP FALLING FOR IT

Everything is a distraction from everything else

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 hours ago

Is the Nazi shit a distraction from the pedo shit? Or vice-versa? ¿O por que no los dos?

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 9 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Jesus is just a name to them. Any chance of them actually following things taught is long gone. Jesus, like Trump, is a tool they use. Nothing more.

[–] Sabin10@lemmy.world 6 points 6 hours ago

Belief is salvation. That's American Christianity. The rest of it doesn't matter.

[–] joeljoelle@piefed.blahaj.zone 4 points 6 hours ago

Ya keep it around, maybe we can see if he wants to wrestle a grizzly bear sometime.
