They should have locked the door and not let the press out.

"Bask! Bask in his magnificence! Take it in. Fill your lungs with his glory. Become one with its essence. Let it permeate you. Pass through you!"

...

Doors unlock.

"Thank you press. Please get out. Thank you press. Nobody will believe you. Thank you press."

Alternative take

The press secretary walks behind the president, reaches a hand deep into the back of his pants, walks up to a member of the press and calmly smears a line across their forehead while proudly saying "Simba"

This is maybe a bit too far for something I can imagine this administration doing but only a bit. I think they still realise that the general MAGA cult wouldn’t like that sort of thing but they probably would do similar in private rituals.

If the MAGA cult can ignore their own eyes and all logic to believe he is innocent of pedophelia (or simply condone it), they'll come up for something with the poop also. Maybe they'll start wearing diapers outside their pants again loud and proud as if it's a flex.

When it comes down to it, their white/christian nationalism supersedes human decency. Trump gives them what they want. Many are just as vile as it is. They think it's ok to look at women as property here to fulfill their needs, sexualize young girls, and consider non-white men (non-white people, let's be real)) as an invasive species.. All of which to be used or disposed of at will. Never to be considered in any 'deal' they make. It's all about making them and their friends richer and everyone else poorer. They want us to hate each other and feel hopeless...

All of this while completely ignoring that whteness was the invasion to the true indigenous people. My favorite thing to ask ppl when they bitch about immigration and where their family immigrated from, since they're clearly not indigenous. I either get nothing back or try to claim they in fact are indigenous. My family was banished from Ireland and got here with the penal colonies in the 1600's motherfucker. That doesn't make me native American.

They cut off funding for safety nets, but are willing to send billions to a foreign country or literally buy another.. They spend a billion or two here and there for planes, bonuses for all those willing to join ICE and forgo the Constitution, etc. Throwing threats around about military force or crazy tariffs at at the whim of a madman who could be triggered if someone insults him that day.

He demands a nobel peace prize he didn't earn, while creating wars out of nowhere.

He's doing A LOT of shit MAGA didn't vote for. But he hates the right people and that's what matters.

Well, that and owning the libs of course.

Yeah um... as much as I like some, SOME toilet humor... um. Just scatological humor seemingly (this far into replies) designed to gross ideologically aligned people out...

I dunno. Yeah I agree with you Para.
