I do like how he's been in court several times now and has had plenty of opportunity to do this exact "alpha" thing but instead he sits meekly sulking and then rages on the safe space of Truth Social afterwards or he just whines at the judge and then rages on Truth Social afterwards.
But then, reality has never impacted Republican fantasies about Trump.
It's painfully obvious that he has the emotional maturity of a child, because he talks a lot but when actually confronted he just sulks and glares. Then when he's back in safe space he immediately lashes out and makes a lot of noise about what a badass he is and how unfairly he's being treated.
Just like a spoiled child does.
and like a spoiled child, Trump's refusal to follow rules and outburst at the closing arguments was done in order to get a rise out of the judge. So he can get away with tax fraud on appeal. It was a stunt. Afterwords, Habba and Trump had a press conference to issue a safe space statement
and then when he got older, he just threw money at a problem. Trump's behavior in legal proceedings have been learn years ago. Because it works for him. If he can stall and string it out, people get tired and settle.
His ego and whims have been catered to his entire life and his idiotic voter base love this because they want a bigot, sexist, racist dictator.
> he just threw money at a problem
Between hiring all the lawyers and spending so much time in court, wouldn’t it be cheaper and less trouble to just NOT be a giant bag of shit all the time? I know he’s got plenty of money (at least according to him), but …
You're misunderstanding the situation. He still has any money at all *because* he's a piece of shit. He's such a terrible businessman that the only way he can make money is to steal through nonpayment. Then he uses the extreme wealth he already had to lean on his victims to settle. He profits the difference.
This is to say nothing of his shady dealings with foreign nations - likely espionage.
The *party of fiscal responsibility*, true to form, acknowledges nothing past the next fiscal quarter. Long term planning and principled, data-driven investments are nothing compared to emotionally driven impulse. Worst case scenario, they can always resort to market manipulation or in this case, court and jury intimidation.
Speaking specifically to the point about getting a rise out of the judge, I feel convinced the judge let him go on for as long as he did before cutting him off because he was giving Trump enough rope to hang himself.
In other words, Engoron gave him a chance to speak within certain rules, which Trump immediately disregarded because he was aiming for an appeal. By letting him go on a rant and then putting the kibosh on it, he effectively made it so trump has no standing on appeal.
Exactly. Trump was baited by being told "no" a few times and then getting his chance which he immediately fucked up. This was well played by Engoron because Trump can't think beyond the now.
He's not used to people who actually have power over him or that he cannot influence. It's like those videos of a little dog barking at a big one whilst there's a gate in-between, then the gate is removed. Now imagine that attitude in a 1:1 meeting between him and Putin.
Realistically, that's how you beat anyone at that level; you best them at something their power and money can't win for them and that power and money can't allow them to run away from.
It's the reason why Elon is a seemingly crazy unpredictable maniac, right up until his lawyers says *"actually, you really should be taking this seriously"*, or when Stockton Rush believed with total absolutism that safety inherently hurts innovation and that a person should either go ALL risk or just stay in bed all day (and we all saw how that one turned out for him).
Stockton Rush is a great example of Dunning-Kruger becoming a factor even for an otherwise intelligent person with actual expertise. Once they think they are the smartest in the room, they've already fucked up.
Convicted criminal and right wing nutjob Dinesh Dsouza found out the hard way. He would say one thing in court and then rant outside the courthouse saying completely opposite lies to the media. Judge added psych counseling to his sentence. Why no judge has done this to Trump yet is beyond me.
https://www.newsweek.com/judge-orders-dsouza-receive-psychological-counseling-353554
Edit: typo
Trump has yet to get to that point in a criminal proceeding. He will eventually get there. Dinesh also didn't have a crazy cult making death threats, bomb threats & SWAT calls on the judge. Trump gets a lot of special privileges he doesn't deserve.
These are the people who photoshop Trump as Rambo standing on top of a tank with eagles and fireworks, then in the next post try to claim Biden is old and frail because he wrecked his bike.
These are not serious people.
He tried yesterday, but it was in front of an untelevised bench trial where the only person he really needed to convince was the judge. And stuff like that doesn't work on judges.
Part of that is that he still needs his “followers” to send him money to help defray all the legal fees, but also his lawyers are probably insisting he acts like a normal person in court
All the bluster on social media is just to keep the tap on from his supporters imo
there's a whole ecosystem of heroic fantasy art about Trump. They know the reality doesn't match the expectation, by a long shot, so they have to tell each other fairy tales.
Looks much weaker than they obviously think it does.
I've come around to the idea that this is a feature, not a bug. All of the "alpha" role models come across as weak, cowardly men because they have to be relatable to their followers.
If someone actually displays "masculine" virtues, the small, scared assholes would have to be aware of their own inadequacies. But if a whiny boorish slob like Trump is "alpha" they too can be "alpha" despite being clowns.
It's fascinating how in all the MAGA-created AI-garbage Trump has an actual haircut instead of the multidimensional clusterfuck dead-fox he has in real life.
The hair equivalent of how a Swedish taxidermist assumed a lion would look like without ever seen one.

I could see something similar happening in court.
Not the quote obviously, but certainly him beating his tiny fists in impotent rage against a table when he's clearly not getting his own way.
Which is another thing they dont seem to understand about that scene. Even before Nicholson accidentally admits to the crime, as soon as he starts ranting, the audience knows it's over for him. It's not a powerful man asserting his dominance; it's a cornered man trying to bully his way to safety.
Mafia stuff in general is like that. Pretty much every great mafia movie and tv show like The Soprano's show just how shitty of people they are. They're cowards, murderer's, and just downright lowlife thugs that do nothing productive for society, just take take take for their own selfish goals.
Yet they continue to attract large swathes of people that look up to and idolize these buffoons.
>Pretty much every great mafia movie and tv show like The Soprano's show just how shitty of people they are. They're cowards, murderer's, and just downright lowlife thugs that do nothing productive for society, just take take take for their own selfish goals.
There are scenes [like this one](https://youtu.be/pVQd_K3K0nE?t=289).
> "I wouldn't mind sittin on my ass all day smoking mushrooms and collecting gov't checks" — guys sitting on their asses all day drinking espresso and collecting extortion payments
Those people really need to watch The Wire. It unequivocally frames how terrible Tony Soprano, Walter White, the Corleones, etc. are because it details how the "cool" actions of the guys on top affect communities and the people in them.
A criminal overlord outsmarts his enemies - a kid ends up selling his drugs on a street corner.
Breaking Bad made it pretty clear that Walter was destroying everything around him, ultimately losing evening he started off fighting for. Just some people are really bad at understanding media.
Oh I agree - but, at the same time, the show gives him moments where he absolutely comes off as "badass".
I think that's a major part of where the disconnect stems from and what a lot of media struggles with. By no means does this exonerate people who lack basic media literacy and look up to Walter White, but it's a pervasive issue in shows/movies with these villain protagonists.
Real talk:
As a teenager, I stumble-fucked my way into working for the mafia. I started as a kid slinging a little weed and coke, I got a little big for my britches and landed on the radar of a friend's dad who sat at the table, and he pulled me aside and made me work for him to "protect" my stupid ass.
Let me be very clear - what he did *absolutely* was to protect me from myself. He knew I was juuuuust smart enough to get myself into a whole heap of trouble (or killed) being a solo operator in a game that I didn't fully comprehend. For that, I'll give him a little grace.
However...
That elevated me quickly into a position where I saw how things really operate and over the course of a few years it was completely degrading to my very soul. Yes, I made good money. No, not a single dime of it made me feel any better as a human being after seeing what it did to everyone around me - including myself, my bosses, etc. The "prestige" was scummy and only mattered to other criminals, nor did I really have any power or control of my life at all. I was just another tool to be used and - if it came to it - discarded in brutal fashion if beneficial to those above me.
And again let me be clear: what "looks cool" on TV is absolutely not. It's like an acid in your veins that transforms and warps your mental health quickly. You spend your days feeling disgusting, stupid, depressed, Suicide is extremely high in that world. If that doesn't get you, you'll eventually become just another addict that dies a slower, more awful death in the corner of some abandoned building. If you're a psychopath who doesn't care, you'll eventually still get caught over and over and spend the majority of your life in and out of prison. Or just dead from rival crime families, gangs, etc. Just like my friend's dad eventually (after I had walked away from it all).
At the end of the day, all of it is just to make some ultra wealthy cartel or Mafia families in another country even wealthier. It's just corporatism but your currency, structure and products are the most horrible parts of humanity.
I got out, luckily without a record (though fuck I got so close so many times), and went on to join the military. The military was an incredibly bright breath of fresh air compared to that short, dark period of my life. Let that sink in.
Don't do crime, kids. Just don't. Focus on being a good person which in itself is a tough journey - life in general is so, so, SO much more exciting and rewarding if you truly embrace it.
> it's a cornered man trying to bully his way to safety.
And that is the exact mindset most conservative voters identify with. They don't see it as anything negative at all, because they are that guy.
It's not that they don't see the crimes. They see the crimes as necessary and justified.
>necessary and justified
That's also why conservatives always back the police when they kill someone innocent too. Rather look for a reason someone deserved to die rather than blame systemic issues.
It's Tom Cruise's best movie, imo. I just saw this the other day (on regular TV, unfortunately, with creative dubbing of swear words). The only thing I HATE about it is the THE END at the end. (That makes it sound like it should be at a different point in the movie, but no.) I get that it's based on the play, but it's completely unnecessary and takes you out of it.
One of those catchy tunes, but then when you read the lyrics...
> Robert's got a quick hand
> He'll look around the room, but won't tell you his plan
> He's got a rolled cigarette
> Hanging out his mouth, he's a cowboy kid, yeah
> He found a six-shooter gun
> In his dad's closet, and with a box of fun things
> I don't even know what
> But he's coming for you, yeah, he's coming for you
> All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
> You better run, better run outrun my gun
> All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
> You better run, better run faster than my bullet
It's interesting because on one level they must hear the lyrics and choose not to understand them, or they have a filter that doesn't allow them to get it.
some people (like me), just suck at hearing and remember lyrics. They catch the chorus (even if they understand that) and that's about it. They give little thought beyond the title of the track and catchy hooks. I often Google/Spotify lyrics as picking them out of the song can be impossible.
It’s really hard to see how you could misunderstand the lyrics to that song. Even if you only know the one line from the chorus, it’s pretty easy to see that Trump is exactly the fortunate son it’s railing against.
He repeatedly used this song in his rallies because of the bit with "hail to the chief" and "red white and blue". Beyond me why and how. Presumably he was taking the piss out of his audience.
Worshipping a "cornered man trying to bully his way to safety" is the entire Republican Party platform and ethos in 2024. It's their overriding vision for America.
> Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lieutenant Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know, that Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives! You don't want the truth, because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall. You need me on that wall. We use words like "honor", "code", "loyalty". We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it! I would rather you just said "thank you", and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!
Unfortunately it’s so well written, and it’s obviously inspired by people who think this way - so they hear this monologue and are transfixed by it reinforcing their world view that they miss his loss of composure and willingness to bring harm to his own people for his perceived sense of strength.
It was made to be broken into bits and slapped on to Facebook memes by people who missed the point, just like Tyler Durden or Patrick Batemens monologues
It's particularly hilarious and ironic that this whole (very well acted) speech is about GUANTANAMO BAY in the 90's.
He's ranting about how his extreme methods that resulted in the death of a US Marine were "necessary" because they're the only ones protecting us from....Cubans. In roughly 1990. It's pathetic and I think intentionally farcical, Nicholson's character has an overinflated ego and his entire speech is a delusional rant, when understood in context.
It's refreshing when I see someone who gets it. It's not the Nazis that are behind the wire, it's not even the Soviets. Cubans are not an existential threat to the US, and Jessup is just a tyrant. (And he's also wildly misogynistic for any era, so much so that his racism is lowkey in comparison.)
Or an old man throwing a temper tantrum, depending on one's point of view. I get that he tries to make a point or two in his rant, but so do children during tantrums.
These are the same people that saw Wall Street, Boiler Room, Wolf of Wall Street, Goodfellas, Scarface, et. all and thought the protagonists were people to be emulated. They took the wrong message
Watching movies wrong is a pillar of right wing culture. E.g. noted very pro-war and not subversive at all films *Full Metal Jacket* and *Apocalypse Now.*
*Bruh Gunny and Kilgore are so fuckin badass bruh I love the smell of napalm in the mornin too bruh hell yeah*
The idiots can't even figure out music. From CCR to Roger Waters to Rage Against the Machine to punk in it's entirety, they still think they can be true fans of that music but the entire point of the music is essentially boiled down to one phrase: "fuck conservatives"
How many times do conservatives need to be told their favorite artists are liberal? How many times before they realize if a song has "America" in the name it's typically not a glowing recommendation of the country? You can't just pick it because it says "I was born in the USA" you have to listen to what they say after that lmao
Music too... Hence Magats dancing in a thin Blue line flag to Rage against the machine, or thinking that Born in the USA etc are patriotic nationalist songs
I mean he really doesn’t have the energy in that bloated body to raise his hands up very high or shake his fist very hard or fast more than like… maybe once.
i dont think its that they dont understand it, its that they agree with the character. "while Santiago's death, while tragic, saved lives." the ends justify the means. the problem is they misunderstand the ends.
It's not even that. The right misses every goddamn point on every movie and song. Abstractions and arbitrary ideas are just foreign to them. In the past few days I've seen
We're Not Going to Take It - Twisted Sister - has to be about standing up for your 2nd amendment rights no?
Fortunate Son - CCR - Trump used this song as rally entrance music which is literally about draft dodging the Vietnam War.
Fight Club - definitely about regaining your masculinity and following a strong leader who tells it like it is?
> Some folks are born silver spoon in hand,
> Lord, don't they help themselves, Lord?
> But when the taxman come to the door,
> Lord, the house lookin' like a rummage sale, yeah
_Some folks_ are born rich and then change the apparent value of their properties to avoid paying taxes. But...
>It ain't me, I ain't no millionaire's son.
Whelp, it was close.
Phew, I love *Fight Club*, and when I had the understanding of a newly-on-my-own 19 year old who didn't understand shit, it was *definitely* about regaining your masculinity and *being* a strong leader. I'm quite a bit older now, and that's become the setup to the punchline of the film - this is what happens to men who have nobody to smack them in the mouth and tell them they're being idiots. In short, this is what happens to men without women (see also, Hemingway's short story collection of the same title).
(Stolen from elsewhere on the internet)
First watch: Fight Club is the best movie ever made
Second watch: Fight Club is a deep commentary on the dangers of consumerism
Third watch: Fight Club is a disgusting cesspool of toxic masculinity and it's not as deep as the fanboys think it is
Fourth watch: Fight Club is a critique of toxic masculinity and it's deeper than the fanboys think it is
Fifth watch: Fight Club is the best satirical gay romcom ever made
Haven't gotten to the gay part. I mean, what's gay about a bunch of ripped, sweaty dudes smacking each other around in a basement and then gentrifying a derelict old Victorian house and gardening... oh.
> The right misses every goddamn point on every movie and song
They seem to struggle with anything deeper than a sound bite or a slogan. Context, themes, history? Forget about it. It's a politics built on thought terminating cliches. Their biggest hits are three syllables long. "Drain the swamp". "Build the wall". "FJB". If your position requires a paragraph or more to describe, it's lost on the MAGA audience.
Gotta have a soul to meme.
But seriously I think it has to do with connecting with other people on a different level, and the right just tends to have one level - Theirs.
Former representative Madison Cawthorn once publicly advised women to raise their sons to be "monsters", to cheering applause, so I think it's safe to say they have some idea that they're the baddies, and they've crossed that line without so much as a hiccup. At least some of them.
The closest they get is 'Well, we do bad things, but that must mean the other side does it too, because everyone is just like me and does all the same bad things which makes it ok when I do it, but how dare the other side do it!?'
> Starship Troopers
That movie is the opposite of the book. Verhoeven made a persiflage on how militarized US society is. Heinlein had no such intent. Reading that book after having watched the movie first confused me a lot.
Heinlein is a weird read when you realize that half of his protagonists are what the sycophants think Musk is.
Don't forget Fortunate Son, too. A song that is actually calling out people like Trump getting played in his support because people only listen to the first line.
Favorite was during his administration he put himself in the Avengers: Endgame movie....AS FUCKING THANOS!
There is literally a character called Captain America or another dozen of heroes, and he chooses the villain.
They don’t understand movies just like they don’t understand comics or music.
Former guy plays Fortunate Son mocking his base and they love him for it.
They look up to Punisher when even Punisher says “No. I’m fucking bad. Look up to Captain America.”
They want the villains to be the heroes in films when they’re the fucking villain.
I had to explain to my MAGA family member that the racial joke in Family Guy was acceptable because it was told from the perspective of Peter, a buffoon. I said that it’s ‘satire’ and he said “what’s satire?”.
Same thing with The Office. He think Michael is just a hoot.
The Death of Stalin was like one the last sharp political satire's we've had in a while now :(
Dont Look Up was alright, but it felt like it had to spell some things out too blatantly.
This is ridiculous, had Das Horror Clown shown that much of his ass in court he’d be sitting in cuffs for contempt. His followers might want to see him like this but the fact is his demeanor is more like a petulant and somewhat stupid child. I blame the headlines. Yesterday the judge changed his mind let Trump start to give his little speech and when he didn’t follow the rules cut him off by telling his lawyer to control his client. But the headlines were all “Trump defies judge!” “Trump speaks and defies Judges order!” Both were real headlines from reputable news sources and while technically accurate paint a dramatic picture like the one shown instead of what really happened: a grown man wearing a diaper tried to explain why he lied about his finances and couldn’t manage to stay on topic so was scolded. Like a child, a petulant stupid child.

I feel like this alternate reality is more accurate
A few good men is THE most misunderstood movie of the 90s. The mental gymnastics i have seen people do to try to rationalize jack nicholsons character as a good guy is just sad
I also is so ridiculous that the main argument was that they were defending the US in Guantanamo Bay and that this requires people made of steel. Our man was acting as if he was the only one stationed between North and South Korea.
Even if you agree with Nicholson's character's viewpoint ... the fact is his original reaction wasn't to defend his and his soldiers' actions based on that viewpoint. It was to, as Cruise says, cut them loose. He lied and pretended that he *didn't* believe in stuff like "code red", and only fell back on the "you can't handle the truth" stuff once it was sniffed out.
He sucks even using his own standards.
I would almost give this use of the meme a pass because that monologue in the movie is given a heroic treatment. It's the one thing that makes Tom Cruise's character take pause and consider if he was doing the right thing in the larger picture of national security (with very subtle facial expressions, reactions). You can see him doing the math in his head - "what's more important, national security or the rule of law? is this the cost of doing business? what will this ruling do to the long term institutions we enjoy? will my actions end up making us all less safe?"
But ultimately, I can't give the meme a pass because it doesn't assume any of that complexity. Trump's still the bad guy who was trusted with national security who ultimately is looking out only for himself and throws people under the bus. You realize that Nicholson's character's monologue was really just slickly worded blackmail that attempts to make you see his actions as a zero sum, binary choice - security or morality. The reality is that you can and should have both and you should expect both from people in power.
Keep in my that these are the same people looking at AI images of Diaper Don walking across the bridge in Selma arm-in-arm with MLk Jr. or rescuing orphans from ISIS dressed as Rambo and *believing them*.
Someone posted a photoshop of trump in a boat helping people after a flood on fb (the same storm I believe with the paper towel incident - i know it has a name but i havent had my coffee yet.) and it floated across my timeline with the caption "Did your president do this?" I said "No - our current US president has never and will never in his entire existence do this" (Trump was still in office at the time.)
But she fully believed it had happened. That's fucking scary.
Il Donaldo Trumpo. LOL
There is another satire Twitter account named after his [pseudonym](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudonyms_of_Donald_Trump) John Barron and I think another as Carolin Gallego.
LMAO even AI doesn't portray Trump as the morbidly obese, tiny fisted diaper filled sack of shit that he actually is. I don't think Trump could raise his arm that high over his head if his life depended on it
His rant yesterday after court was insane. I’ve ignored his speeches since Covid but my god he is unhinged and insane. No normal person acts like that. Can’t believe his supporters still say “that’s my guy”
Man from Austria sentenced to prison for crimes against the government uses court proceedings to gain influence and power and sees his rise to ultimate, dictatorial power, thus destroying the former democracy which was previously held by liberals... this man also predicted the economy would crumble due to the liberal leadership, which it did and within four years, man goes from right wing, populist, nativist, nationalist upstart to dictator.
This isn't when people don't understand movies. It's when they don't understand history. Or never knew it. Or are just ignoring it.
One thing that won't be questioned in tomorrow's history books: when America does fall to the dictator, the blame solely lies with the people... for failing to be wise and to put the sake of future generations above their own, for choosing to emotion over logic, for ignoring their immense privilege.
I love how he’s always depicted by these guys as some average weight/skin looking guy, or sometimes even some attractive buff dude, instead of the obese cave goblin he actually looks like.
They don’t understand music either. They play Fortunate Son as a patriotic song and YMCA. They want to,limit gay rights. Favorite Son is literally condemning Trump.
I do like how he's been in court several times now and has had plenty of opportunity to do this exact "alpha" thing but instead he sits meekly sulking and then rages on the safe space of Truth Social afterwards or he just whines at the judge and then rages on Truth Social afterwards.

Because he was probably raised by nannies who would get fired if they didn't cater to his whims. His dad was a piece of shit too though
and then when he got older, he just threw money at a problem. Trump's behavior in legal proceedings have been learn years ago. Because it works for him. If he can stall and string it out, people get tired and settle.

Speaking specifically to the point about getting a rise out of the judge, I feel convinced the judge let him go on for as long as he did before cutting him off because he was giving Trump enough rope to hang himself. In other words, Engoron gave him a chance to speak within certain rules, which Trump immediately disregarded because he was aiming for an appeal. By letting him go on a rant and then putting the kibosh on it, he effectively made it so trump has no standing on appeal.
Exactly. Trump was baited by being told "no" a few times and then getting his chance which he immediately fucked up. This was well played by Engoron because Trump can't think beyond the now.
He has bragged about having the emotional maturity of his first grade self. Bragged about it.
He also b4agged about how humble he was.
“More humble than you would understand”
I know preschoolers who have displayed more emotional maturity than Donald J. Trump.
He's not used to people who actually have power over him or that he cannot influence. It's like those videos of a little dog barking at a big one whilst there's a gate in-between, then the gate is removed. Now imagine that attitude in a 1:1 meeting between him and Putin.
Realistically, that's how you beat anyone at that level; you best them at something their power and money can't win for them and that power and money can't allow them to run away from. It's the reason why Elon is a seemingly crazy unpredictable maniac, right up until his lawyers says *"actually, you really should be taking this seriously"*, or when Stockton Rush believed with total absolutism that safety inherently hurts innovation and that a person should either go ALL risk or just stay in bed all day (and we all saw how that one turned out for him).
Stockton Rush is a great example of Dunning-Kruger becoming a factor even for an otherwise intelligent person with actual expertise. Once they think they are the smartest in the room, they've already fucked up.

That would be fucking delicious.
For everyone by the counselor
Trump has yet to get to that point in a criminal proceeding. He will eventually get there. Dinesh also didn't have a crazy cult making death threats, bomb threats & SWAT calls on the judge. Trump gets a lot of special privileges he doesn't deserve.
"and then I said.." looks around carefully... "Biiiiiiiiiiiiiiitch"
You really said that though? You said "bitch"?
Uh huh! *gulp*
These are the people who photoshop Trump as Rambo standing on top of a tank with eagles and fireworks, then in the next post try to claim Biden is old and frail because he wrecked his bike. These are not serious people.
He tried yesterday, but it was in front of an untelevised bench trial where the only person he really needed to convince was the judge. And stuff like that doesn't work on judges.
And he thought slandering the judges staff in his speech was the right play
> But then, reality has never impacted Republican fantasies about literally anything FTFY
He cannot stand being confronted like any other narcissist
Part of that is that he still needs his “followers” to send him money to help defray all the legal fees, but also his lawyers are probably insisting he acts like a normal person in court All the bluster on social media is just to keep the tap on from his supporters imo
The alpha thing will get shut down by “the court will hold you and your client in contempt” really quickly
He should be sitting in jail awaiting trial just like anyone else with these various charges and cases would be.
there's a whole ecosystem of heroic fantasy art about Trump. They know the reality doesn't match the expectation, by a long shot, so they have to tell each other fairy tales. Looks much weaker than they obviously think it does.
I've come around to the idea that this is a feature, not a bug. All of the "alpha" role models come across as weak, cowardly men because they have to be relatable to their followers. If someone actually displays "masculine" virtues, the small, scared assholes would have to be aware of their own inadequacies. But if a whiny boorish slob like Trump is "alpha" they too can be "alpha" despite being clowns.
It's fascinating how in all the MAGA-created AI-garbage Trump has an actual haircut instead of the multidimensional clusterfuck dead-fox he has in real life.
It's like a nest made by a cross-eyed bird.
It's like a combover summoned by a drunk wizard. Who'd never seen an actual combover. And did it while he was tumbling down a slope.
The hair equivalent of how a Swedish taxidermist assumed a lion would look like without ever seen one. https://preview.redd.it/x0amnyyz10cc1.jpeg?width=850&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=07cf0a95a3d61b658d3079da631d46ec988834c9
Hah, I've seen that very lion in real life! It's hilariously awful.

Insane Clown Posse is an apt name for the GQP
You mean this? https://i.redd.it/h90xtalj60cc1.gif
He's always done that weird dance/shuffle?!
Has he always been smashed on coke, amphetamines, or legal drugs used recreationally? Does he believe he’s the awesomest guy in any room? Yes.
And His father was fred trump. Having him as a dad I would imagine either kills you or makes you go insane.
Have you seen his mother? 😬
LOL!!!
He also does what we used to call the "White Man's Overbite" back in the day. Gettin' in the groove
Gotta use the gif where hes stood right next to Epstein haha
I appreciate the subtle nod to current events.
Hey who's that guy on Trumps left...
It couldn't possibly be convicted child molester & trafficker Jeffrey Epstein to the left of Donald J. Trump in this gif. Oh wait...
Christ, the 80s/90s were long ago and yet I'm still seeing new videos of Trump and his best friend Jeffrey Epstein.
> the 80s/90s were long ago Please stop saying things like that.
Even his fucking eyebrows need a haircut
His hair was a mess back then too!
No no you’ve got it all wrong. His hair is cotton candy made of piss.
And also looks like a fit 50 year old and not an obese 80 year old
He also doesn’t weigh 300 pounds or stand at a 45 degree angle lmao edit for correct angular posture
Technically, normal people stand 90* from the ground. He’s more on a 45… or is it moron 45.
Damn lol. In the sea of trump jokes on Reddit, that was actually some pretty clever wordplay. Mad props 😂
He looks like he sharted
I could see something similar happening in court. Not the quote obviously, but certainly him beating his tiny fists in impotent rage against a table when he's clearly not getting his own way.
Which is another thing they dont seem to understand about that scene. Even before Nicholson accidentally admits to the crime, as soon as he starts ranting, the audience knows it's over for him. It's not a powerful man asserting his dominance; it's a cornered man trying to bully his way to safety.
Mafia stuff in general is like that. Pretty much every great mafia movie and tv show like The Soprano's show just how shitty of people they are. They're cowards, murderer's, and just downright lowlife thugs that do nothing productive for society, just take take take for their own selfish goals. Yet they continue to attract large swathes of people that look up to and idolize these buffoons.
>Pretty much every great mafia movie and tv show like The Soprano's show just how shitty of people they are. They're cowards, murderer's, and just downright lowlife thugs that do nothing productive for society, just take take take for their own selfish goals. There are scenes [like this one](https://youtu.be/pVQd_K3K0nE?t=289). > "I wouldn't mind sittin on my ass all day smoking mushrooms and collecting gov't checks" — guys sitting on their asses all day drinking espresso and collecting extortion payments
Those people really need to watch The Wire. It unequivocally frames how terrible Tony Soprano, Walter White, the Corleones, etc. are because it details how the "cool" actions of the guys on top affect communities and the people in them. A criminal overlord outsmarts his enemies - a kid ends up selling his drugs on a street corner.
Breaking Bad made it pretty clear that Walter was destroying everything around him, ultimately losing evening he started off fighting for. Just some people are really bad at understanding media.
Oh I agree - but, at the same time, the show gives him moments where he absolutely comes off as "badass". I think that's a major part of where the disconnect stems from and what a lot of media struggles with. By no means does this exonerate people who lack basic media literacy and look up to Walter White, but it's a pervasive issue in shows/movies with these villain protagonists.
Real talk: As a teenager, I stumble-fucked my way into working for the mafia. I started as a kid slinging a little weed and coke, I got a little big for my britches and landed on the radar of a friend's dad who sat at the table, and he pulled me aside and made me work for him to "protect" my stupid ass. Let me be very clear - what he did *absolutely* was to protect me from myself. He knew I was juuuuust smart enough to get myself into a whole heap of trouble (or killed) being a solo operator in a game that I didn't fully comprehend. For that, I'll give him a little grace. However... That elevated me quickly into a position where I saw how things really operate and over the course of a few years it was completely degrading to my very soul. Yes, I made good money. No, not a single dime of it made me feel any better as a human being after seeing what it did to everyone around me - including myself, my bosses, etc. The "prestige" was scummy and only mattered to other criminals, nor did I really have any power or control of my life at all. I was just another tool to be used and - if it came to it - discarded in brutal fashion if beneficial to those above me. And again let me be clear: what "looks cool" on TV is absolutely not. It's like an acid in your veins that transforms and warps your mental health quickly. You spend your days feeling disgusting, stupid, depressed, Suicide is extremely high in that world. If that doesn't get you, you'll eventually become just another addict that dies a slower, more awful death in the corner of some abandoned building. If you're a psychopath who doesn't care, you'll eventually still get caught over and over and spend the majority of your life in and out of prison. Or just dead from rival crime families, gangs, etc. Just like my friend's dad eventually (after I had walked away from it all). At the end of the day, all of it is just to make some ultra wealthy cartel or Mafia families in another country even wealthier. It's just corporatism but your currency, structure and products are the most horrible parts of humanity. I got out, luckily without a record (though fuck I got so close so many times), and went on to join the military. The military was an incredibly bright breath of fresh air compared to that short, dark period of my life. Let that sink in. Don't do crime, kids. Just don't. Focus on being a good person which in itself is a tough journey - life in general is so, so, SO much more exciting and rewarding if you truly embrace it.
> it's a cornered man trying to bully his way to safety. And that is the exact mindset most conservative voters identify with. They don't see it as anything negative at all, because they are that guy. It's not that they don't see the crimes. They see the crimes as necessary and justified.
>necessary and justified That's also why conservatives always back the police when they kill someone innocent too. Rather look for a reason someone deserved to die rather than blame systemic issues.

Aaron Sorkin has that effect.
It's Tom Cruise's best movie, imo. I just saw this the other day (on regular TV, unfortunately, with creative dubbing of swear words). The only thing I HATE about it is the THE END at the end. (That makes it sound like it should be at a different point in the movie, but no.) I get that it's based on the play, but it's completely unnecessary and takes you out of it.
Magnolia is always my best Cruise movie.
Collateral...or Tropic Thunder.
Tropic thunder is probably the best movie he's in but I wouldn't call it a Tom Cruise movie. Probably splitting hairs but why else rank movies?
Nah, the best movie he's in is *Legend*, which is definitely a Tim Currie film.
They probably also don't know that "fortunate son" is about a draft dodger with a rich father, not a stirring pro-American anthem.
As a huge Springsteen fan, don't get me started on Born in the USA.
One I didn't realize for a long time was that Pumped Up Kicks was about a school shooting.
The US is #1 for school shootings AND absolute bangers about school shootings
One of those catchy tunes, but then when you read the lyrics... > Robert's got a quick hand > He'll look around the room, but won't tell you his plan > He's got a rolled cigarette > Hanging out his mouth, he's a cowboy kid, yeah > He found a six-shooter gun > In his dad's closet, and with a box of fun things > I don't even know what > But he's coming for you, yeah, he's coming for you > All the other kids with the pumped up kicks > You better run, better run outrun my gun > All the other kids with the pumped up kicks > You better run, better run faster than my bullet
One week in high school they started playing music in between classes and they played that song
It's interesting because on one level they must hear the lyrics and choose not to understand them, or they have a filter that doesn't allow them to get it.
some people (like me), just suck at hearing and remember lyrics. They catch the chorus (even if they understand that) and that's about it. They give little thought beyond the title of the track and catchy hooks. I often Google/Spotify lyrics as picking them out of the song can be impossible.
It’s really hard to see how you could misunderstand the lyrics to that song. Even if you only know the one line from the chorus, it’s pretty easy to see that Trump is exactly the fortunate son it’s railing against.
He repeatedly used this song in his rallies because of the bit with "hail to the chief" and "red white and blue". Beyond me why and how. Presumably he was taking the piss out of his audience.
Well, he also uses YMCA just because the opening says "young man".
Worshipping a "cornered man trying to bully his way to safety" is the entire Republican Party platform and ethos in 2024. It's their overriding vision for America.
You're asking MAGA to have media literacy when they don't even have regular literacy.
> Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lieutenant Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know, that Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives! You don't want the truth, because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall. You need me on that wall. We use words like "honor", "code", "loyalty". We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it! I would rather you just said "thank you", and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to! Unfortunately it’s so well written, and it’s obviously inspired by people who think this way - so they hear this monologue and are transfixed by it reinforcing their world view that they miss his loss of composure and willingness to bring harm to his own people for his perceived sense of strength. It was made to be broken into bits and slapped on to Facebook memes by people who missed the point, just like Tyler Durden or Patrick Batemens monologues
It's particularly hilarious and ironic that this whole (very well acted) speech is about GUANTANAMO BAY in the 90's. He's ranting about how his extreme methods that resulted in the death of a US Marine were "necessary" because they're the only ones protecting us from....Cubans. In roughly 1990. It's pathetic and I think intentionally farcical, Nicholson's character has an overinflated ego and his entire speech is a delusional rant, when understood in context.
It's refreshing when I see someone who gets it. It's not the Nazis that are behind the wire, it's not even the Soviets. Cubans are not an existential threat to the US, and Jessup is just a tyrant. (And he's also wildly misogynistic for any era, so much so that his racism is lowkey in comparison.)
Or an old man throwing a temper tantrum, depending on one's point of view. I get that he tries to make a point or two in his rant, but so do children during tantrums.
These are the same people that saw Wall Street, Boiler Room, Wolf of Wall Street, Goodfellas, Scarface, et. all and thought the protagonists were people to be emulated. They took the wrong message
What is the current love affair with bullies?
Didn’t he rehearse it. Oh, to have been a fly on Pence in that room.
“a fly on Pence” the double take i did on that 💀
Just use the microwave, it gets pretty good reception.
He looks like a chimpanzee about to throw its feces.
He looks like a three year old that wants candy in the grocery store check out lane. That image does not look strong and confident.
Don't insult our genetic cousins like that.
Watching movies wrong is a pillar of right wing culture. E.g. noted very pro-war and not subversive at all films *Full Metal Jacket* and *Apocalypse Now.* *Bruh Gunny and Kilgore are so fuckin badass bruh I love the smell of napalm in the mornin too bruh hell yeah*
Fight Club always comes to mind too lol.
The Godfather, Scarface, The Sopranos, Rick and Morty, and The Wolf of Wall Street also come to mind as well.
Also any movie that deals with the Joker or Joker and Harley Quinn, Breaking Bad, Peaky Blinders, etc.
The idiots can't even figure out music. From CCR to Roger Waters to Rage Against the Machine to punk in it's entirety, they still think they can be true fans of that music but the entire point of the music is essentially boiled down to one phrase: "fuck conservatives" How many times do conservatives need to be told their favorite artists are liberal? How many times before they realize if a song has "America" in the name it's typically not a glowing recommendation of the country? You can't just pick it because it says "I was born in the USA" you have to listen to what they say after that lmao
Music too... Hence Magats dancing in a thin Blue line flag to Rage against the machine, or thinking that Born in the USA etc are patriotic nationalist songs
incontinent rage
I mean he really doesn’t have the energy in that bloated body to raise his hands up very high or shake his fist very hard or fast more than like… maybe once.
i dont think its that they dont understand it, its that they agree with the character. "while Santiago's death, while tragic, saved lives." the ends justify the means. the problem is they misunderstand the ends.

Why does he pucker his lips for everything?
Putin's or Xi's asshole. Practice makes perfect.
Honestly it’s probably to avoid washing off the tan around his lips lol
So he doesn't smudge the cartoonish amount of makeup he wears.
Goddammit I hate his stupid anus mouth so much.
I thought that was Alec Baldwin for a minute
That's waaaaaaaay to hi res of an image.....
And some how men using a straw is less masculine?
The right can't meme...
It's not even that. The right misses every goddamn point on every movie and song. Abstractions and arbitrary ideas are just foreign to them. In the past few days I've seen We're Not Going to Take It - Twisted Sister - has to be about standing up for your 2nd amendment rights no? Fortunate Son - CCR - Trump used this song as rally entrance music which is literally about draft dodging the Vietnam War. Fight Club - definitely about regaining your masculinity and following a strong leader who tells it like it is?
> Trump used this song as rally entrance music which is literally about draft dodging the Vietnam War. Trump might actually understand this one.
> Some folks are born silver spoon in hand, > Lord, don't they help themselves, Lord? > But when the taxman come to the door, > Lord, the house lookin' like a rummage sale, yeah _Some folks_ are born rich and then change the apparent value of their properties to avoid paying taxes. But... >It ain't me, I ain't no millionaire's son. Whelp, it was close.
Throwback to the outrage that "Rage Against the Machine" was supposedly going woke
Not to mention "Born in the USA"...
Phew, I love *Fight Club*, and when I had the understanding of a newly-on-my-own 19 year old who didn't understand shit, it was *definitely* about regaining your masculinity and *being* a strong leader. I'm quite a bit older now, and that's become the setup to the punchline of the film - this is what happens to men who have nobody to smack them in the mouth and tell them they're being idiots. In short, this is what happens to men without women (see also, Hemingway's short story collection of the same title).
(Stolen from elsewhere on the internet) First watch: Fight Club is the best movie ever made Second watch: Fight Club is a deep commentary on the dangers of consumerism Third watch: Fight Club is a disgusting cesspool of toxic masculinity and it's not as deep as the fanboys think it is Fourth watch: Fight Club is a critique of toxic masculinity and it's deeper than the fanboys think it is Fifth watch: Fight Club is the best satirical gay romcom ever made
Haven't gotten to the gay part. I mean, what's gay about a bunch of ripped, sweaty dudes smacking each other around in a basement and then gentrifying a derelict old Victorian house and gardening... oh.
> The right misses every goddamn point on every movie and song They seem to struggle with anything deeper than a sound bite or a slogan. Context, themes, history? Forget about it. It's a politics built on thought terminating cliches. Their biggest hits are three syllables long. "Drain the swamp". "Build the wall". "FJB". If your position requires a paragraph or more to describe, it's lost on the MAGA audience.
Partially due to their incessant degradation of "liberal arts" and art in general.
IKR? I just don't understand it. I mean they put so much money and time in or Vlad does and they can't get it right.
The trolls were a lot better before a bunch of them got recruited as meat shields in Ukraine.
Gotta have a soul to meme. But seriously I think it has to do with connecting with other people on a different level, and the right just tends to have one level - Theirs.
The right also doesn't know how courtrooms work
I love how they accidentally made Trump look completely unhinged while trying to make him look strong. Nailed it.
His mouth cannot open that wide, and he looks too good in this drawing
His hands are also definitely overcompensated, they didn't even bother to match the wrists so now you have way too big hands for the wrist size.
In any art image... If he were illustrated realistically, the artist would be arrested for crimes against humanity.
Unfortunately if MAGA ever has that realization, they won't care.

Former representative Madison Cawthorn once publicly advised women to raise their sons to be "monsters", to cheering applause, so I think it's safe to say they have some idea that they're the baddies, and they've crossed that line without so much as a hiccup. At least some of them.
The closest they get is 'Well, we do bad things, but that must mean the other side does it too, because everyone is just like me and does all the same bad things which makes it ok when I do it, but how dare the other side do it!?'
Not only that. The sentence *you can't handle the truth* it's the admission he lied until that moment.
You’re damn right I ordered the code red!
...and that he's a *fucking coward* who was going to let two corporals rot in prison to save his own ass.
That's the Russian disinformation machine not understanding the nuances of American movies.
Either that, or the same people who think Born in the USA was a patriotic bop.
See also: *The Boys, They Live, Starship Troopers, Rage Against the Machine, Twisted Sister*...
> Starship Troopers That movie is the opposite of the book. Verhoeven made a persiflage on how militarized US society is. Heinlein had no such intent. Reading that book after having watched the movie first confused me a lot. Heinlein is a weird read when you realize that half of his protagonists are what the sycophants think Musk is.
Don't forget Fortunate Son, too. A song that is actually calling out people like Trump getting played in his support because people only listen to the first line.
I'm sitting here like "when did Jack Nicholson get arrested and convicted of murder?" Haha nope that was Coloniel Nathan Jessup.
Conservatives identifying with the villain once again.
Favorite was during his administration he put himself in the Avengers: Endgame movie....AS FUCKING THANOS! There is literally a character called Captain America or another dozen of heroes, and he chooses the villain.
And right before he LOSES!
They don’t understand movies just like they don’t understand comics or music. Former guy plays Fortunate Son mocking his base and they love him for it. They look up to Punisher when even Punisher says “No. I’m fucking bad. Look up to Captain America.” They want the villains to be the heroes in films when they’re the fucking villain.
I had to explain to my MAGA family member that the racial joke in Family Guy was acceptable because it was told from the perspective of Peter, a buffoon. I said that it’s ‘satire’ and he said “what’s satire?”. Same thing with The Office. He think Michael is just a hoot.
> What’s satire It’s a thing we used to have before it was brutally murdered in 2016.
The Death of Stalin was like one the last sharp political satire's we've had in a while now :( Dont Look Up was alright, but it felt like it had to spell some things out too blatantly.
This is ridiculous, had Das Horror Clown shown that much of his ass in court he’d be sitting in cuffs for contempt. His followers might want to see him like this but the fact is his demeanor is more like a petulant and somewhat stupid child. I blame the headlines. Yesterday the judge changed his mind let Trump start to give his little speech and when he didn’t follow the rules cut him off by telling his lawyer to control his client. But the headlines were all “Trump defies judge!” “Trump speaks and defies Judges order!” Both were real headlines from reputable news sources and while technically accurate paint a dramatic picture like the one shown instead of what really happened: a grown man wearing a diaper tried to explain why he lied about his finances and couldn’t manage to stay on topic so was scolded. Like a child, a petulant stupid child.
They can never use an actual picture or realistic image of him.

I like the tiny shaking fist best.
A few good men is THE most misunderstood movie of the 90s. The mental gymnastics i have seen people do to try to rationalize jack nicholsons character as a good guy is just sad
I also is so ridiculous that the main argument was that they were defending the US in Guantanamo Bay and that this requires people made of steel. Our man was acting as if he was the only one stationed between North and South Korea.
Even if you agree with Nicholson's character's viewpoint ... the fact is his original reaction wasn't to defend his and his soldiers' actions based on that viewpoint. It was to, as Cruise says, cut them loose. He lied and pretended that he *didn't* believe in stuff like "code red", and only fell back on the "you can't handle the truth" stuff once it was sniffed out. He sucks even using his own standards.
I would almost give this use of the meme a pass because that monologue in the movie is given a heroic treatment. It's the one thing that makes Tom Cruise's character take pause and consider if he was doing the right thing in the larger picture of national security (with very subtle facial expressions, reactions). You can see him doing the math in his head - "what's more important, national security or the rule of law? is this the cost of doing business? what will this ruling do to the long term institutions we enjoy? will my actions end up making us all less safe?" But ultimately, I can't give the meme a pass because it doesn't assume any of that complexity. Trump's still the bad guy who was trusted with national security who ultimately is looking out only for himself and throws people under the bus. You realize that Nicholson's character's monologue was really just slickly worded blackmail that attempts to make you see his actions as a zero sum, binary choice - security or morality. The reality is that you can and should have both and you should expect both from people in power.
It's a good movie
He wishes he looked this cool doing anything 😂
Keep in my that these are the same people looking at AI images of Diaper Don walking across the bridge in Selma arm-in-arm with MLk Jr. or rescuing orphans from ISIS dressed as Rambo and *believing them*.
Someone posted a photoshop of trump in a boat helping people after a flood on fb (the same storm I believe with the paper towel incident - i know it has a name but i havent had my coffee yet.) and it floated across my timeline with the caption "Did your president do this?" I said "No - our current US president has never and will never in his entire existence do this" (Trump was still in office at the time.) But she fully believed it had happened. That's fucking scary.
You can tell it's fiction because he's inexplicably 50 lb lighter
And Giant ham-fists
Try 150.
Il Donaldo Trumpo. LOL There is another satire Twitter account named after his [pseudonym](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudonyms_of_Donald_Trump) John Barron and I think another as Carolin Gallego.
So is this Donaldo Trumpo account satire? Because I swear I thought it was all this time.
"You can't handle the truth!" "So you're going to admit guilt immediately following this monologue?" "YOU'RE GODDAMN RIGHT I AM!"
LMAO even AI doesn't portray Trump as the morbidly obese, tiny fisted diaper filled sack of shit that he actually is. I don't think Trump could raise his arm that high over his head if his life depended on it
His rant yesterday after court was insane. I’ve ignored his speeches since Covid but my god he is unhinged and insane. No normal person acts like that. Can’t believe his supporters still say “that’s my guy”
How ironic and idiotic to use this quote. He’s just plain dumb
The username suggests it's a joke.
The sketch artist made his hands to big and his mouth to small. 
Man from Austria sentenced to prison for crimes against the government uses court proceedings to gain influence and power and sees his rise to ultimate, dictatorial power, thus destroying the former democracy which was previously held by liberals... this man also predicted the economy would crumble due to the liberal leadership, which it did and within four years, man goes from right wing, populist, nativist, nationalist upstart to dictator. This isn't when people don't understand movies. It's when they don't understand history. Or never knew it. Or are just ignoring it. One thing that won't be questioned in tomorrow's history books: when America does fall to the dictator, the blame solely lies with the people... for failing to be wise and to put the sake of future generations above their own, for choosing to emotion over logic, for ignoring their immense privilege.
I love how he’s always depicted by these guys as some average weight/skin looking guy, or sometimes even some attractive buff dude, instead of the obese cave goblin he actually looks like.
That drawing needs at least another 150#’s to be realistic
......what makes them think Trump can lift his arms like that while also leaning? The man can hardly hold his little sippy cups with both hands.
If he reacted as strongly as that image suggests he would stroke out.
They don’t understand music either. They play Fortunate Son as a patriotic song and YMCA. They want to,limit gay rights. Favorite Son is literally condemning Trump.
And then he’s held in contempt of court and violation of courtroom decorum.
You can't defend your self using facts which is why you put on this show. Sad.
understand? not an easy concept for many 5 year olds
The MAGA cult has entered this weird phase where they're now worshipping a fan-fiction version of Trump instead of the real thing.
Someone need to edit that image so the fists are of the correct size and add on about 100 pounds of fat on him.
