May I ask what others think of Trump's 'mugshot' photo, which is now evidently on banners, mugs, baseball caps etc?

Smileless2012 Sat 26-Aug-23 17:36:44

It's awful isn't it.

Greta Sat 26-Aug-23 17:44:56

I agree it's awful but it seems it'll only strengthens his popularity. I can't understand how people can support him.

Aveline Sat 26-Aug-23 17:48:33

What is wrong with people who think he's great? He's mind bendingly bad. Also he must be really thick to have such a totally overwhelming view of his own abilities. No insight whatsoever.

Wyllow3 Sat 26-Aug-23 17:48:37

He's doing the "hurt injured disgusted look" - all totally deliberate, and his team were ready with the T shirts, and it's all unbelievable and disheartening. this charge was in some ways the most straightforward/simplest of those facing Trump - its on record he asked polling officials to change the figures, yet.....

LovesBach Sat 26-Aug-23 17:48:41

He is pulling a scowling face, and I'm afraid my first thought was 'What a silly old man - is he trying to look threatening, or dangerous - what is he doing?'

Aveline Sat 26-Aug-23 17:49:25

Dementia might explain it!

Smileless2012 Sat 26-Aug-23 17:50:41

I thought it was just a 'I'm disgusting' look Wyllowgrin.

The more they try to do him down the more popular he becomes and he does love Scotland not like Biden who seems to hate England. I find his mugshot amusing 😊 he's putting two fingers up to his haters.

He’s a total, nasty idiot and how anyone can see any different
I ll never understand just explains how Hitler was so popular with so many

Aveline Sat 26-Aug-23 18:34:56

He doesn't love Scotland - just tries and failed to make money out of his golf courses there. He bullied locals to try to get them to give up their land. No chance. One sold his land in one metre parcels to people in order to create too many people for him to sue. His businesses at Turnberry and Menie both make large losses.

It is hideous, but comparing him to Hitler, really. Don't remember seeing any extermination camps in America. Oh are you just talking about his magnetism for some of the American people. Well Obama had the same magnetism.

He's a vile misogynist with little regard for the law or the truth, probably narcissistic and morally bankrupt. He's also probably financially bankrupt. This mugshot is designed to draw more dollars from his idiot admirers to pay for his legal fees and pay for his lifestyle. I still cannot believe that anyone would vote for him, he was very damaging as President and I really hope the GOP don't risk having him as their candidate.

Exactly, that about sums him up.

Isn't he just repulsive?

Coolgran65 Sat 26-Aug-23 19:17:50

I thought he was trying to look mean and threatening but just looked ridiculous.

IClaudius Sat 26-Aug-23 19:26:49

There has been some wonderful memes of his photos on Twitter. Comparing him to film villains is a favourite.

BlueBelle Sat 26-Aug-23 19:36:04

I didn’t say he acted like Hitler did I Freya?
I meant it’s easy to see how Hitler was so popular no matter what he did, that was the comparison but I m sure you knew that was what was meant

Happygirl79 Sat 26-Aug-23 19:36:15

Trump is probably insane but because he is a rich man and a narcissist he is surrounded by yes men. The uneducated will fall for his lies.

BlueBelle Sat 26-Aug-23 19:37:24

Well comparing Obama to Trump is ultra ridiculous freya

Aveline Sat 26-Aug-23 19:43:23

Obama certainly had charisma, modesty, style and elegance. Trump is totally lacking in all of those.

Wyllow3 Sat 26-Aug-23 20:11:55

I think you could add as much honesty and dignity as one could reasonably expect and no intention of direct ballot rigging or invading the capitol or engaging in 24/7 twitter wars or encouraging conspiracy theorists.

ParlorGames Sat 26-Aug-23 20:18:48

It simply endorses what a vile, threatening and intimidating goon he is.

Iam64 Sat 26-Aug-23 20:22:14

Obama didn’t attract the same kind of supporters as Trump,

MerylStreep Sat 26-Aug-23 20:24:20

I don’t wish to alarm anyone but I was listening to an American commentator on the radio, she said that in the unlikely event that Trump goes to prison, but wins the election he can still govern.
Because, there is nothing in their constitution to stop that happening.
