Is Mister Trump Surgically Welded To That Baseball Cap?

He gave a press conference (selected and favoured journalists only) on Iran wearing that MAGA baseball cap - again. Not a look that lends gravity and dignity to the so-called Leader Of The Free World.

And Mister Trump doesn't look as if he's played baseball in many a long year, if ever.

Perhaps he will change his slogan to MAFGA.

Sanmrbro

And today the F word from this eloquent being

His language in official statements is disgraceful.

He often wears it to connect to his followers I think, in the same way that Harold Wilson often appeared in pics holding a pipe or with it in his mouth, when in reality he was a cigar smoker.Or Boris with wild ruffled hair and ill fitting suits to appear to be a man of the people, or Farage holding a pint when he isn’t a beer drinker.

And his team had the nerve to criticise Vladimir Zelensky for not wearing a suit!
He has probably never played baseball, nor served his country in the military!
Looks pathetic and no one dares to tell him it’s not appropriate !
Maybe the toupé has slipped off?
Someone who loves him should really say something!!!!!

Hello to all,

I accidentally put this on the wrong thread! Never mind-I meant it for here. I was saying that I had done the maths on the mad menace's hair-don't, and could not come up with a proper equation. And due to this, I would also be sporting a cap!

AuntieE Tue 24-Jun-25 14:04:02

Actually, there are plenty of media photos of him without that cap.

Seriously, the cap is a diplomatic mistake, signalling as it does, his overriding ambition, which no-one outside the (small) American majority that thinks as he does can take seriously.

It honestly does not matter what he wears - it is his dangerous politics that we need to be concerned about.

Hus brain is sugically welded nit only to his cap! Despicable man...he's defo angling for Nobel 'Peace'Prize... he's that deranged🤣 just an egotistical narcissistic war monger!

Think that’s the last of the problems

Jeannied Tue 24-Jun-25 14:16:35

Why all the left wing clap trap. Mr. Trump is a patriot.

Philippa111 Tue 24-Jun-25 14:17:36

Are there any remaining!

Jeannied Tue 24-Jun-25 14:18:22

What dangerous politics are you talking about?

Jeannied Tue 24-Jun-25 14:20:08

Why is he despicable. Did you say that about moronic Biden and his money laundering?

Jeannied Tue 24-Jun-25 14:21:34

During his last term he never started a war. This time round he is fighting for peace. You really don't have a clue.

To be fair, trump has been found formally been found guilty of crimes, rather than being accused of them.

After ridiculing Zelenski or his choice of clothing,when the met in the Washington, I think he should look at himself first. Poorly made suita and that hat!! He makes himself look ridiculous as well as sounding it with his childish rhetoric.
Awful and dangerous man.

The Russian and Ukraine was an election pledge to wrap that up in his first 2 weeks in office..still waiting ??

GrannyGravy13 Tue 24-Jun-25 14:40:35

I think the least important thing to consider regarding the current POTUS is his baseball cap

Sueki44 Tue 24-Jun-25 14:42:20

Come on - he can hardly string two sentences together. His vocabulary is incredibly limited and instead of surrounding himself with experts and intellectuals he relies on media people and toadies!

“The 1964–1970 Labour government carried out a broad range of reforms during its time in office, in such areas as social security,[34] civil liberties,[35] housing,[36] health,[37] education,[38] and worker's rights.[39]

It is perhaps best remembered for the liberal social reforms introduced or supported by Home Secretary Roy Jenkins. Notable amongst these was the partial decriminalisation of male homosexuality and abortion, reform of divorce laws, the abolition of theatre censorship and capital punishment (except for a small number of offences — notably high treason) and various pieces of legislation addressing race relations and racial discrimination.[40]

His government also undertook the easing of means testing for non-contributory welfare benefits, the linking of pensions to earnings, and the provision of industrial-injury benefits. Wilson's government also made significant reforms to education, most notably the expansion of comprehensive education and the creation of the Open University.[40]”
But, unlike Farage and Johnson, Wilson did actually represent the working class whose image he took on; he didn’t just pretend to be on their side the way that they ( and Trump) pretend to be…

Jeannied a lone voice of reason amongst all this vitriol.

Fact: Hillary Clinton supplied Iran with uranium to enrich their nuclear program
Fact: Barack Obama gave Iran 1.7 billion that they used to fund their nuclear program
Fact: Joe Biden unfroze over $16 billion of fun’s for Iran.

Fact: President Trump consulted with his chiefs of staff and top military advisers before coming to this decision.

Fact: you don’t put a stealth mission to a vote - hence the word stealth.

Fact: the US military only bombed uranium targets which was the sole intent of the mission.
And all you can talk about on here is the “fact” that he wears a baseball cap.

My job involves getting newspaper together for the delivery lads in the early morning.

Unfortunately, I have seen more than enough of the Tangerine Toddler and those damn baseball caps on the front pages to last the rest of my life.

He wears a white one too. Not sure which one makes him look more idiotic. He probably thinks he looks so 'with it' and 'cool' hmm

Sheian57 Tue 24-Jun-25 15:14:16

He is obnoxious, self-promoting and I cannot take this fake in every way, "trumped" up, self-grandiosing idiot. I would not want to be American. Embarrassing that he is the best they have to offer.

Camry1952 Tue 24-Jun-25 15:15:06

No worries about losing dignity that he never had. There's a rumor going around in America that the red dye in the China made caps leaks and destroys brain cells.

Arto1s Tue 24-Jun-25 15:19:36

I am proud to be an American. Try living here before you make assumptions. I have lived in the UK also, and I know which I prefer.

Arto1s Tue 24-Jun-25 15:20:42

Camry1952 I am sure you think you are being funny with your asinine remarks….
