Oh look, hes pushing yet another Golden Idol..

I love how ridiculously fake the representation of him is. Not fat, not wearing heel lifts, no ass out because of the lifts, no tie dangling over the precipice of a McDonalds belly, no ridiculous coiffeur of a combover.

Our Dear Leader.

Fuck yeah. I’ve got 69 ordered to go in my totally normal and not crappy or gay in anyway shrine dedicated to an old man with dementia that paints himself orange.

What does the Bible say about those who worship golden statues?

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 24 points 3 days ago

Yeehaw git'r'dun bake the steak boy howdy?

Don’t worry, the target audience is people who can’t read.

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Target Audience is people who don't give a flying fuck about the bible or the brown socialist terrorist inside it

You know, the majority of American "Christians"

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 days ago

That is not a statue of him.

RIP to the ER staff in deep red states being subjected to whatever stories they're gonna hear.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 36 points 3 days ago

~deep~ red states

At least the base is flared.

Americans = QVC shoppers.

It's like his demographic is people that buy diet pills and insurance from daytime tv commercials.

[–] auraithx@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 3 days ago

The writers this season aren’t even trying anymore.

[–] WatDabney@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 3 days ago (1 children)

So can we assume it smells like some combination of stale bronzer, McDonalds, flop sweat and ass?

[–] obvs@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

Oh it's definitely gonna smell like some asses.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 22 points 3 days ago (1 children)

LOL, that's supposed to be him?

[–] Cocodapuf@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

That's not him. Where's the signature paunch?

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Not to mention the paunch as well

[–] Cocodapuf@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Fair enough

The fragrance is available in two versions – one for men and one for women – and will set back supporters a whopping $249 for each 100ml bottle.

A Profile of Trump Voters: The Demographics of his MAGA Enthusiasts and Their Relationship to Him

In their majority they tend to be white, male, and mainly older, are highly conservative, support traditional values such as religion and proud patriotism, are less likely to have a college degree, are more likely to be rural or small town-based and lower-income

I dunno if $250 bottles of cologne is highly aligned with what Trump's demographic wants, but I suppose he has more experience in brand building than I have.

[–] YourAvgMortal@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago

It’s going to flop, but that’s ok because they only bought one lot from the Chinese factory

[–] Almonds@mander.xyz 22 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

I don't think Trump has ever had that body shape. It's weird that he both signed it and put "his" likeness on it when he isn't the kind of famous person that people normally want either of those things from

[–] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 30 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It should be doing the weird Trump Lean

[–] Almonds@mander.xyz 6 points 3 days ago

That would be iconic!

He is incapable of that though

[–] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 14 points 3 days ago

If it DOESNT smell like DIRTY DIAPER I'm going to be ANGRY but Still vote for Trump again!

Why is that statue shiny orange????

[–] huppakee@feddit.nl 6 points 3 days ago

Before you know it there will be a Trump fan shop in every city, selling his parfume and other nonsense. Then they'll conquer the rest of the market: 'gold' side tables, 'gold' doormats, 'gold' bread knives, 'gold' salami, 'gold' olives, 'gold' potatoes, 'gold' paperclips, 'gold' sunglasses, 'gold' flip-flops, you name it. All with his head on it. And of course that signature 45-47 lettering. Super exclusive.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Does it smell like a combination of Old Spice and English Leather?

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 12 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Naw it is dirty diapers and beef grease

Shush dude that's my retirement plan right there

[–] Zier@fedia.io 2 points 3 days ago

You forgot the twice fried KFC and room temperature ketchup.
