I wasn’t sure where to put this. Memes are suppose to be funny, and I wouldn’t consider it Random Fun either. Apparently he meant it as a joke, but I can’t tell with him. It’s just bizarre. This is the same man who insists “they can’t do that” when told the MS 13 had been digitally added to a man’s photo and weren’t really tattoos. Maybe this will actually offend some of his followers enough to denounce him. I’ve often found the religious to be easily offended and butt hurt when it comes to their “sacred” beliefs. I’d think Catholics would be unlikely to be amused, even though some past popes could give Trump a run for his money. Evangelicals used to be pretty vocal about the Pope being the antichrist, though I don’t think they say that part out loud as much any more. Anything that upsets at least some of his base and opens their eyes is fine by me. Even I find the picture unsettling so I hope some of his base does too, though I can’t begin to fathom their thought processes.

This is so far beneath the dignity of the office that it would have been unthinkable pre-Trump and is a new low even for him. This kind of thing normalizes unserious, juvenile and downright puerile “humor” and with it, various bigotries. That is the main point of it. He knows it’s not going to go anywhere, but the negative virtue signaling increases the depravity of his base as well as their mindless servility.

A rapist posting a photo of himself in the silly garb of a person who is in charge of rapists.
There’s a joke in there somewhere but Orange’s new low inspires me to give this one a miss.

Perhaps Sinead O’Conner could be coaxed into ripping that picture up.

If she was still around I’m betting she’d gladly have a go 
. She sure was ahead of her times with that act of protest, and she paid the price. That many Irish seem to no longer be under the sway of that abusive institution gives me hope for the rest of the world. RIP Sinead.

I could launch into a tasteless joke about the likely reaction of Sinead O’Connor to this, but that’s one for a frat house, not here.
It’s now reached the point where I am experiencing a serious struggle, to find a head of state past or present who is, or was, worse than Trump. At the moment, Hitler, Stalin and Pol Pot are ahead on body counts, but how long that situation persists remains to be seen. He’s even managed to be worse than Julius Streicher, by dint of being a fifth rate copy thereof with an even lower IQ, and an even more lurid propensity for sexual predation.
When even Erszebet Bathory seems likeable in comparison, we’re dealing with a totally new species of human monster.

I wouldn’t piss in Trump’s face if his hair was on fire.

If we for a moment lend credence to rumours and non-proven assertions, one could speculate that DT might actually enjoy that kind of fire extinguising. I find that a quite compelling argument to not use that method of putting out his hair fire.

I completely agree with you, we as a society must push the following demands:
- That adults behave like adults again
- That politicians start to take their institutional role seriously again
- That public figures stop trying to be “quirky and funny”, they are not they are just embarassing
- That the media stops to treat this as something normal and condemns it
- That the college of cardinals must elect a pope as much anti Trump as he can be
Seriously, i want a pope that publicly tells him to fuck off, in front of a join session of congress ideally.
Well, at least if Trump was the pope in Godfather III it would’ve been a better film.
