Oh my goodness, it gave me a good laugh! I know some people aren’t fond of him, but he does make me laugh at times!

His fans are already getting it put on T-shirts sadly.

Op I found it hilarious as well, i think it was a given he would merch it as soon as it was announced.
He may get proper wealth from this side line, he's using it it fund raise isn't he.

I wonder how long and how many people it took to get that look right.
I can't imagine Melanie indulging him on this.

Unless her famous slogan is going on the back of the t shirt?

What I don't understand is how in a country of 334 million people, with world reknowned universities full of clever folk and clever entrepreneurs and principled civil rights activists, snd millions of bright charismatic people, not to mention a massive church-going population who should know right from wrong, that the only options for president are a very, very old, well-meaning but wobbly chap or an ancient mafia-style crook.

Can anyone explain this? Why are there no other options? 334 million people and this is the best they can do?

tabulahrasa · 25/08/2023 22:59

I can’t help wondering what he was actually going for?

As in, he seems to take himself pretty seriously, so I’m assuming he wasn’t going for ridiculously hilarious...

MrsSkylerWhite · 25/08/2023 23:01

WTAF is wrong with his wife? Jesus, why, just, why, would you be involved with that?

PickledMuffin · 25/08/2023 23:03

i was on the BBC new website this morning on my laptop, my four year old DD walked past singing away, stopped dead and looked at my laptop and said 'that man looks angry' carried on walking and singing again. Made me laugh 🤣

mdinbc · 25/08/2023 23:08

PickledMuffin - that's my first reaction as well! How inconvenient for him.

Lottapianos · 25/08/2023 23:17

I absolutely pissed myself laughing too. It's just perfectly Trump. A dash of stone cold maniac crossed with a 5 year old who's been told he can't have the chocolate and he's VERY VERY angry and wants everyone to know about it!

mrsfollowill · 25/08/2023 23:23

It's galling he is now making money out of this $25 for a mug with this and the phrase 'Never Surrender'- even BBC News said solemnly tonight Donald Trump has launched this merch whilst surrendering at Georgia jail! His self proclaimed height and weight are taking a battering as well.

This! All day long! There was a very educated, erudite American political commentator on the radio the other day and they said to him, is Joe Biden really going to be the nominee again? And he sighed and said well, who else really is there?

Um, literally millions of other people? I just don't get it.

Wouldn't that be a copyright infraction?

Its got a look of ‘Blue Steel’ 😂

Playingintheshadow · 25/08/2023 23:54

He is such a dick!

Wrongsideofpennines · 26/08/2023 00:02

He just looks absolutely ridiculous. Like completely cringeworthy. I don't know what look he was going for but probably not looking like an absolute prick, which is the look he's achieved.

PickledMuffin · 26/08/2023 22:49

@Jbck or magnum 🤔

StSwithinsDay · 26/08/2023 22:50

He will be re-elected next year. It's a terrifying prospect.

I’ve an horrible feeling that this will turn out to be correct.

It's a very good example of the kubrick stare. Can't work out if they shot him from slightly high up ( unlikely in a police mugshot setting) or if he purposefully set his head at a weird angle. In that case what did he think this would convey. Because as PP have mentioned it is generally used to convey madness or evil.

I do agree overall with your point about how these two can be the best options in such a populous country, but your comment about Biden being "well meaning"...he is arguably worse than Trump.Completely self serving and corrupt! Not to mention what he has done to womans rights!
