This is very homoerotic.

Someone will then have to give a history lesson to trump teaching him that modern day Iran is Persia.

Why is the "This is Iran" flag behind him? Is he an Iranian agent? A trick question, I know.

I think this is a reference to the movie 300, where there is a line “this is Sparta”, but I never saw the movie and also it doesn’t make sense.

Not directly. He serves Russia, which has interests in increasing Iran's influence on the world stage.

Hold up, in the background there's a Greek soldier holding a flag that says This Is Iran? What? So that's saying that the Greeks and therefore Donald Trump are on Iran's side? What the fuck? I mean I know it's silly to look for coherence in anything related to him but still.

He doesn't know what nice is either, so.

When Americans see this, do they feel proud of their elected leader? I can tell you what the rest of the world thinks about him.

I feel like he's a cringe dumb fuck who in multiple ways doesn't know he's losing to Persia

As a Pennsylvanian I saw the writing on the wall leading up to the 2024 election. I grew up in a very conservative household, and my parents are still very pro-Trump. His reelection destroyed me, despite it seeming inevitable. How can a large chunk of this country not only not feel shame from this, but actively encourage and enjoy it?

Fuck no, this is embarrassing and stupid.

1/3 of the country thinks he's the best thing to ever happen to America. They eat this stuff up.

1/3 of the country thinks he's somewhere between a national embarrassment and an existential threat to our constitutional democracy.

1/3 of the country is apathetic about politics and cannot be bothered to give a shit over way or the other.

And most all of the country can't afford to do anything since most are a couple paychecks from homelessness and depend on their employer for healthcare.

[–] disorderly@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

When I see this, I feel profoundly confused. Also embarrassed.

Remind implies he learned literally anything in the first place. He doesn't have the cognitive oomph to wipe his own ass, it's amazing he can speak at all tbh.

I mean, he's got child-fucking in common with the Spartans. Maybe he did do his research
