    Everyone spotted wearing these should be noted and never allowed to hold office again (and preferably rot in a prison for life). This is gross.

      Agreed. This is a traitors mark.
      It’s fucking biblical not to do this … literally in the Bible as the mark of the beast.

        Not true.

        The mark is on the forehead. Like a red hat.

        Revelation 13:16-17 [16]It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, [17]so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.

        Revelation 9:20: “The rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood—idols that cannot see or hear or walk.”

        The fundies must be wetting themselves with excitement, rapture any day now!

    Yo, please edit this post to specify that this isn’t in any way confirmed. Don’t need to be making me pull my hair out over one guy with a pin.

      Snopes: A White House official said via email: “Obviously, we did not order officials to wear this pin. If they choose to wear one, it is to show support for the greatest President in history.” Brendan Carr, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chair seen in photos wearing the golden Trump lapel pin, had not responded to requests for comment about why he wore the pin at the time of this writing.

      Still pretty fucked.

    Sad it’s coming to this, but the flag pin was at one point or another leading to this kind of stuff. I wish this would have just led to bigger and bigger pins to show that people are more patriotic than their opponent.

    Nationalism leads to cult of personality. Cult of personality leads to… ah shit I can’t remember. Fashion I think?

    I’m a little surprised he had his jowls and pig cheeks so aptly cast and I’m not surprised in the least every Republican will throw their American flags in whatever trash can he points to to suck his weird mushroom dick while wearing his ugly fucking face.

      He is a clinical narcissist. He does not have an objective sense of reality when it comes to himself. He genuinely thinks he is a strong athletic intimidating and beautiful person (jowls and all). He thinks he can out swim a female olympic swimmer, that he is smarter than PhD’s and MD’s, and that he has more political prowess than anyone in history. When he says he is the greatest president, the greatest golfer, the greatest… whatever… in history, he is not exaggerating for emphasis. He is deluded and actually believes it.

      I say, that 2cm hole from the gun shot healed up fantastically!!
      I mean it’s almost as if it never happe…no, what am I saying. It’s not as if a tRUMPf would ever blatantly lie.

      No, I’m absolutely sure that it definitely wasn’t just an ikkle tiny (like his hands) cut that happened when the bullet wisped inches away from his stunningly thin skin rupturing it. No, it positively ripped his ear to pieces and the best, most tremendous, beautiful, tremendous, perfect surgeons put him all back together again like fucking Humpty Bastard Dumpty could only wish for. Yes, that’s it!!

      Also, he’s a diseased cunt.

          Would an 80yo narcissist power addict get rid of the scar that symbolizes his “bravery” and he can use to remind people of it?

          Hell no.

        Are you referring to the Austrian fellow? It was right and proper for every good German household to have his portrait hanging in yhe family room or dining room and his book in an exalted place.

        He did work on early designs borrowing from WWI era style.

    Had someone brag about one of these hideous things at work, shortly after election. He was so excited to show it off. Haven’t seen him or his ugly gold lump since then.

      You think it’s gold?

      Anyhow, it’s jarring to meet such people IRL. I don’t live in the USA (I guess I’d be constantly jarred if I did) but even so I had a Trumpist coworker once - it was jarring.

    Definitely not concerning to put a persona above the country. If only there was a term for an exaggerated form of admiration and reverence directed towards a political leader, often cultivated through propaganda and media manipulation.
