President Trump has no awareness of his actions beyond how they personally help him. He is so blinded by his ego and, what is the word, narcissist, that it really does fog up his decision making.

Please tell me how Trump having his picture taken with a can of beans harmed you in any way.

[xenon]

@Larry "align with me politically and I might give you a crap ton of good publicity" Not an unreasonable takeaways. Especially from bigger companies where it matter (e.g., mergers, etc.)

[Larry]

That is a silly way to see it. Especially since the ver motivation for him taking the picture in the first place was to poke his finger in the eye of a bunch of idiots who were doing exactly what you just accused him of. Except they weren't offering free publicity, they were threatening to destroy his company.

Nope. Your answer doesn't work.

[Doctor Phibes]

Let's just praise Jesus that he didn't wear a tan suit for the photo-op.

[Larry]

This isn't Britain, no one over here wears tan suits...

[jon-nyc]

This is just a trial balloon. Look for him to start doing 3am infomercials hawking his steaks and Chinese ties.

I think you may be forgetting the major constitutional crisis of the last presidency.

[Doctor Phibes]

Also, of course, this....

You're forgetting the vodka.

Boy, this one really got to y'all.

I don't even know what it's all about. My opinion on the matter begins and ends with the observation that it's darkly hilarious so many people care so much about the president posing with a damn can of beans. There's practically a trite cliche about this already.

[Larry]

I wonder if Trump bought those beans at a 7-11... you know - where you have to have an Indian accent to work there.....

Oh yeah, I'm absolutely steaming mad about this. I can literally barely contain myself

[xenon]

@Doctor-Phibes yeah - Trump just sorta blends into the furniture for me now.

He’s like a funny armchair in the corner of the room. I can criticize it - but for whatever reason - I don’t really care about it anymore.

Hell - he’s funny and a conversation piece.

I will admit that I hated the fact that he was there for a couple of years. (Didn’t hate him personally, just the fact that he was there)

[Doctor Phibes]

There's plenty to get mad with Trump over.

The thing is, if you make fun of Trump's silliness, they all think you're as mad as hell about that as well.

It would be like being mad at Joe Isuzu commercials.

@jon-nyc said in At the Resolute desk:

I've said it before, but one of the worst aspects of Trumpism is to watch his supporters continuously debase themselves by by coming to his defense.

Indeed. It's rather scary. Trump even said himself that he could shoot random people on Fifth Avenue and not loose any votes. This is more and more literally true.

[Horace]

If you're scared of something as inevitable as people defending their preferred political candidates, I think you should put in some work to find something better to be afraid of.

[Doctor Phibes]

Horace has never defended a politician in his life, so now he's making up for lost time

[Horace]

Have I defended him in this thread? I pointed out the obvious, that he is intentionally trolling pop culture with those sorts of pictures. I also said that I don't think there's any political value in it.
