Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content.

Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

He should give himself the same award Hitler did.

[–] leadore@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago

Or he could just call up people who have received it (or their heirs if deceased), and have one of them give him theirs, like he did with the Nobel Prize. Maybe even several of them, so he can brag that he was awarded more Medals of Honor than anyone in history.

So we're gonna need to build a Truman show set, with actors (or fucking clones, I dunno) of people in his admin, to literally contain his madness.

Just... yep Donald, yep, you're still the President, and everyone loves you, mhm, yep.

This is certainly morally superior to the reverse, where he is just an insane madman, but... actually in charge of important things.

I still think it's possible that in 2016 the Republicans told him they were hiring him to play the President in a mockumentary.

[–] TryingToBeGood@reddthat.com 5 points 3 hours ago

Whenever I see shit like this from him, I keep seeing that painting of Napoleon crowning himself emperor…

[–] tacoplease@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

Why the Sexiest Man Alive Medal as well? 77 million would drop on their knees to "praise" him.

Trump saw this meme and thought it was real

[–] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 14 points 11 hours ago

I honestly expected him to have invented some sort of "American Peace and Greatness Nobel"-Prize by now. And award it to himself.

[–] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 43 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (1 children)

PLEASE do this, make sure to have lots of fanfare and a parade!

Also, I recommend promoting yourself to "Super General" and be sure to wear a military uniform with a gigantic hat.

[–] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 7 points 11 hours ago

Admiral General Trump

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 21 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Next up, he wins the noble prize, the Betty Crocker bake off, and the world series.

[–] Cherry@piefed.social 3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Hmm Kim JU might step us a challenger!

What a tv show that would make.

[–] dan1101@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

He already seems to be imitating Kim in so many ways. Big difference is he has a powerful prosperous country to take down his path of narcissistic insanity.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 72 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

This guy is such a fucking asshole.

Seriously, he has surpassed even Ronnie Raygun at this point as far as being the worst president, at least in recent times. I wasn't sure it was possible to surpass the shitstain that is Ronnie Raygun, who up until Pedonald, had objectively the most criminal administration in history.

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 11 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

The only thing more pathetic than him are the morons who got suckered into voting for him. I'm sure they are working on their rationalization for this now. They are like the fools who fall for romance scams and can't admit they were duped.

[–] Cherry@piefed.social 6 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

No it’s the inability to do anything about him. There’s no checks, no balance and people are just sitting back. It’s crazy.

This has gone past his voters. A good majority of the USA is complicit.

[–] YesButActuallyMaybe@lemmy.ca -1 points 3 hours ago

Kamala couldve just said that genociding Palestinians is bad. Thanks dumb cunt

The generation that gave us participation trophies and then complains about our generation being given participation trophies.

This fucking timeline....

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 hours ago

Who downvoted this? I see you, you fucking shit ass boomer.

The masters of projection

Can we please get chomo Caligula to the gallows? Like now

[–] PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

This is what I will call him for now on

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 55 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

oh please do it. chefs kiss. the only bright spot from this guy is the way his life is just facade. Not an inch of depth anywhere. no actual love at all. all hate smiles.

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 13 points 18 hours ago

If he weren't in such a powerful position where his shallow childishness was harmless, it would be hilarious how sad this dude is. This medal doesn't matter, ultimately. But apparently the thought that he might get an undeserving Nobel prize was all that held him back from starting multiple wars. He needs a full time ass kisser that praises him when he's not a complete psychopath to reinforce that behavior.

[–] tal@lemmy.today 27 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (10 children)

Is the Medal of Honor enough? Given Trump's qualities, doesn't he warrant some form of higher award that would place him somewhere above all the existing Medal of Honor awardees?

The Medal of Honor has non-gold components. He could make a new medal out of solid gold. And call it whatever he wanted. The Medal of Extraordinary Honor, say.

[–] brygphilomena@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 13 hours ago

Ya know. There are better materials than gold. I think he should get a uranium or plutonium medal that he can wear right over his heart.

Photoshop him taking it from a dead soldier and giving it to himself

[–] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 44 points 22 hours ago (6 children)

He was already given a purple heart from a veteran, twice. Once in 2016, and again in 2024 after the assassination attempt.

Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho is fucking smarter than little don.

[–] absGeekNZ@lemmy.nz 20 points 18 hours ago

President Camacho; chose the smartest person in the world to replace him; thereby showing an empathy and level of intelligence sadly lacking in the real world.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 hours ago

Send help.
