Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

$1,000 says that:
a) that's not the actual suit he wore
and
b) there's a lot more than a single suit worth of fabric up for sale.

The former president has released a series of digital trading cards priced at $99 each and anyone who buys all 47 will receive a physical card containing a piece of the “priceless” navy suit and be invited to a gala dinner at Mar-a-Lago.

They aren't even selling the suit. They're selling digital trading cards, LMAO. Collect em all and get a piece of garbage and cheeseburder.

If I thought there was actually a dinner at the end of it and that I could talk to him I would go just to be like

“Yo, you’re the guy on the cards. I didn’t know you actually existed”

“I wish I looked as good as I do on those cards, that I can tell you,” the former president says in the video.

“They give me muscles where, believe me, I don’t have them.”

This may be the most honest and down-to-earth thing he's ever said

to be fair its trumps suit there has to be a lot of fabric to cover his fat ass

[–] Ranvier@sopuli.xyz 15 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They're not well fitted either, gotta hide his figure. Also why does his dang tie hang halfway to his knees?

[–] phx@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Also why does his dang tie hang halfway to his knees?

Covering his balls?

[–] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

I'm pretty sure his stomach already does that.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

I wonder how many in his base might legit think he has abs like those absurd cartoon images of him.

[–] prole@sh.itjust.works 9 points 11 months ago

And c) his dumb fuck supporters will buy it all up anyway

Edit: didn't read a comment that said basically the same thing.
