On and On and On It Goes - Trump thread #148

[Spandauer]

It's been 9 horrible months and I find myself looking back on those "eating the cats and dogs" days with nostalgia.

@YankTank how amazing that he was there and you recognised, I was so grateful for that video.

I’m liking “Have I got News For You’s" take on it, above a photo of people protesting against Trump’s visit:
"In central London, there’s another protest march by people fed up with foreigners entering the country, instantly receiving huge benefits courtesy of the taxpayer, and posing a threat to women"

You should have left out the left wing loons bit then.

This is true. Whenever I’m having a crap day I remind myself it could be so much worse.

She’s definitely got her eyes covered in this one 😂

I can help with this, at least partially. The caption still leaves me with so many unanswered questions. First up: why? Click the image for cation. Basically Queen Victoria wrote a note on ticker tape.)

True. I’m a centrist with some beliefs which are a bit of the right of centre—certainly not a “left loon”. But I guess if believing in standing up against facism and having your voice heard is “left loon” behaviour…so be it.

Was that photo-shopped? That is a very peculiar stance for her to take. Almost as if they’d sent a body-double whose plastic surgery went wrong at the last minute, so she’s doing everything to hide her face from view.
(See, I can do conspiracy theories with the best of them!)

I meant with Melania but the ticker tape is intriguing

I have no idea but I’m finding it hilarious.

Although I see @DuncinToffee got there first.

Oops. Melania’s invisibility cloak worked on me. My eyes slid straight over her and I only had eyes for the ticker. I’ll go back and look at the photo properly.

How did I miss her? That’s hilarious. 😂

Could "(THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER... 😉)” be combined with the thread title suggestion, perhaps?
Or maybe, in the light of recent comments: "The Friend of Epstein Waddles Around Windsor whilst Loony Lefties Limbo Across London - Trump Thread #149”?

Are we sure that's not actually just a hat stand?

Rafa, that image of Melania is pure class, and I don't even care if it's photoshopped. Is she cos playing a not green Jim Carrey in the Mask?

Like this

Fair point.

She wore a hat with a similar brim at the inauguration in January—there were photos of DJT trying (unsuccessfully) to kiss her. She has the hat barricade sussed out. I bet she has one in each colourway. Can you blame her, though?

Because referring to people as 'dull and lifeless left wing loons' is soooo polite and civil.

Tbf it could be a lamp.

Either the Mask or Michael Jackson’s Smooth Criminal video. Melania are you ok? Are you ok, Melania?

But I don’t think it’s just her hat barricade, it’s her whole posture, she is standing aside with her body and arms clenched in a way which seems to indicate she is a “surrendered" woman. That’s surely not her usual stance?

No hat for the banquet, is that the real Melania

Right hand make-up is back

Left or right. The biggest threat comes from above these days.

did them no favours, a dull lifeless lot of left wing loons void of any happiness.

Yes, exactly. Unpleasantly characterising some thousands of people as a uniform block are most definitely the words of someone who's good at disagreeing without getting nasty.

Is there not protocol around Royal engagements about bare shoulders? Or maybe it was just the late Queen who disapproved?

Trump in his penguin suit looks more permatanned than ever.
