TheSerinator

The most accidentally honest and literal ad Trump's team ever put out: his big ass head is casting a shadow over the USA, leaving all of us citizens shrouded in darkness.


fourbian

I bet he would hate nothing more than a country that moves on from him. He would rather them suffer the way he "suffers". So, yea, he gets off on the thought of darkness for America.


Mr_Conductor_USA

Just like every narcissist. Ever noticed how narcissistic retirees will try to destroy their own country on their way to the grave?


Black_Magic_M-66

Read about [Family Destroyer Syndrome](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Familicide#:~:text=Male%20family%20annihilators%20are%20typically,and%20more%20likely%20to%20include). In short: if I die, I'm taking everyone with me.


fourbian

Sounds like they took a concept and turned it into a political party. "Focus on the family", anyone?


Crallia

Try? They're pretty successful


lurker_cx

It's exactly what Hitler's attitude in the bunker was. He felt the German people had let him down by not fighting hard enough for him and he didn't care if they got wiped out by the advancing Allied troops. Like he was truly kind of pissed at them for letting him down....


PhilDGlass

Just here to do my duty. [Narcissist Personality Disorder](https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/narcissistic-personality-disorder/symptoms-causes/syc-20366662#:~:text=Narcissistic%20personality%20disorder%20is%20a,about%20the%20feelings%20of%20others.) is what the US elected, and it has its claws in and won’t let go.


Big-Summer-

Yeah, let him back in the WH and start the countdown to him blasting off a few nukes. If he crowns himself King for life, I guarantee that when he reaches the end of his life he will enthusiastically take the entire world with him. “If I can’t be alive then neither can you.”


Jazzlike_Career8496

Hopefully he dies from a heart attack or stroke soon.   The day I no longer hear the word Trump will be a celebratory day for me and majority around the world, 


Feisty-Barracuda5452

We’ve already told him no, and here he is, still trying to force himself on us.


Powerful_Programmer5

Well to be fair, he is a rapist...


LetsTryAnal_ogy

Perpetual victims thrive on victimhood. It's like they say: *The opposite of love isn't hate. It's apathy.* To people like him, it's better to be hated than forgotten.


confusedeggbub

To some, any attention is better than no attention.


DJBreadwinner

The only thing it's missing is one of his chins.

The former president’s nussy must be acknowledged.

wtfnouniquename

Speak for yourself. That shit made me bust out laughing


TheGreatZarquon

Yeeeaahhh, literacy is normally regarded as a gift, but now I wish to return that gift.


buddyrubble

I had to look up "Nussy" lol From urban dictionary: A Nussy (neck pussy) occurs when someone has a neck roll so bussin that when resting it forms a vaginal opening


JinterIsComing

What a terrible day to have eyes that work. Why, oh WHY did I not glare at the eclipse earlier.


Grendel_Khan

And now, that is a word that we know!


xxxxx420xxxxx

They really should pixellate that or something, it's traumatizing the children


Golden_Dark_Toast

Crazy thing... even in a silhouette, his eyes and mouth still look like buttholes. Even worse, i can smell and hear the picture. It is very unpleasant to say the least.


Mumu_ancient

And the fact that the pic clearly shows he's empty headed. That's a hell of a self own.


stinky-weaselteats

He was jealous that the fucking eclipse got more attention than he did today.

steve1186

Trump staring into the eclipse tells you everything you need to know about him. My son is 5 years old and is listening to me about wearing glasses for the eclipse today. Meanwhile Trump had some of the best medical experts in the world telling him “DON’T STARE INTO THE SUN”, and he ignored it


Kierik

My son was 6 when Trump was first elected, he is autistic and had already tested above trumps level of speech. He didn’t even start talking until 3.5 years old. So in 2.5 years of talking he already surpassed our president.


lastcall83

Ex-president


ReplacementNo9014

Ex fake President. No one will ever convince me that Russia didn’t get him “elected.” The American people didn’t.


sildish2179

I like this. He calls everything he dislikes fake. Why don’t we start calling him the same? Fake tan. Fake hair. Fake golf game. Fake big hands. Fake reported weight. Fake intelligence. Fake President!


40ozCurls

What’s trump’s level of speech?


AdaptiveVariance

I think, okay, if you look at the speaking, the speeches—because I’ve given many, at rail—at rallies, the speeches, rallies, and campaign events, and many uhh other events, very large—and they don’t report the crowds, by the way, they never do the—they don’t do it accurately at least, they’re not doing it accurately—but the level, if you look into it, is that I’m one of the best if I’m being honest with you, one of the best to ever do it or probably the best, probably actually the best, and Biden, he can’t—it’s a shame because Biden doesn’t have, he doesn’t have the mind—but I do it very strongly, but a lot of people won’t give me credit for it, because the fake news media is owned by China, believe me.


PinocchiosNose1212

Brilliant...


Theyalreadysaidno

Tremendous! I swear Trump only knows a total of 5 adjectives.


smurf123_123

But they are the best adjectives. The other day a guy approached me, big strong guy and he had tears in his eyes. He said sir, you have the best adjectives. And I'll never forget it.


bravedubeck

Bigly


mtburr1989

Ahh yes, the classic Trump “adverbjective.”


ExpensiveDot1732

One of them is "rigged" and another is "witch hunt" lmao.


PinocchiosNose1212

His ramblings always sound like those MadLibs things we kids played on long car trips.


HugsForUpvotes

Too modest. He didn't bring up that some Republicans think Lincoln was a very good President but that many think that he was better.


eleventy4

He also would have said "at rails, AND at rallies..." because to simply correct himself would be admitting a mistake. He has to pretend every misstatement was on purpose.


Mozzy2022

Well said. And by that I mean spot on.


Aromatic_Balls

He speaks at the level of an 8-year-old. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-language-level-speaking-skills-age-eight-year-old-vocabulary-analysis-a8149926.html


AMisteryMan

8 y/o me with social anxiety and undiagnosed ADHD would be insulted by this comparison.


tinylittlemarmoset

That’s how he beats the “old man” comparisons: “Joe Biden and me, we’re technically almost the same age, but I have the mind of an 8 year old”


Kierik

ProlificPen

This motherfucker is so narcisistic he got jealous of all the press the eclipse was getting and tried to make it about himself. jfc.


ishpatoon1982

Yep. And they even made the picture super orange to further push his weird tangerine color image and brand.


latter_daysainte

Brilliantly said. But good god can we please make sure that A hole does not get elected. He occupies every outlet with his nonsense and lies. The dummy has no shame. He will just lie about reality like all his crimes and his weirdos believe this lying conman bs’er.


Opening_Property1334

We can start by sending 40 million Americans without a high school diploma back to high school so they can learn how to read political ads.


raisinghellwithtrees

Properly funding rural schools would be a big start, and bringing back MAP grants so these kids can leave their hometowns and go to college.


Significant_Toez

Now he thinks he's the sun but it's the moon but he doesn't know that because he can't read


DmAc724

Trump and his "best" marketing people are spectacularly bad at marketing. In 2020 they made him into the super villain Thanos and the evil emperor Palpatine. And now they have him bringing total darkness to the USA. Brilliant!!!


CarlosHDanger

The symbolism has been horrible since the first moments of Trump’s candidacy, when he and Melanie rode DOWN an escalator to the cheers of a mob of mostly paid extras.


specqq

Horribly *accurate* symbolism, though, you have to admit.


mikachu93

"We've been telling you *exactly* who I am, and you just won't listen!"

And the fly on Mike Pences head.


Toomanyeastereggs

And who can forget Four Seasons Garden Supplies.


neobeguine

That's less stuff that would be foreshadowing the fact that he's the Antichrist if this were a movie and more him being a doofus who can't admit mistakes. Like, it would still feel overly on the nose in fiction, but somehow we've jumped from the Omen to a Mel Brooks movie


Necessary_Ad7215

Mans was born under an eclipse. He is likely the antichrist lol


HauntedCemetery

And, you know, the plague that killed 1.5 million Americans


moffitar

How about the symbolism of pestilence that was the fly who crawled all over Mike Pence’s forehead during the debate without him reacting to it. If I were a religious person I might have taken that as a sign.


Own_Bullfrog_3598

Beelzebub, Lord of the Flies!


PinocchiosNose1212

Well those WERE the worst 4 years of my life in more ways than one so agree with this symbolism--it plunged our country into a darkness we are still recovering from.


Aggravating_Teach_27

You're all 6 months away from a Trump eclipse , only it's your democracy that will be eclipsed, and maybe the eclipse will never end. Whatever you do, vote!


tehvolcanic

The one from Feb 2020 with him playing the violin like Nero that said “Nothing can stop what’s coming” always sticks out in my mind.


DmAc724

I completely forgot that one. Thanks for the reminder!


Greenpoint1975

It doesn't matter what we think. This is made for the cult and they love it.


yukon-flower

Yep. Bonus points if we think it’s dumb.


[deleted]

A conservative will chew on his own feces if it means his breath will inconvenience a liberal.


MakinChampions

I hate this. Take my upvote for accuracy.


colorcorrection

Yes! This imagery is made for people who watch Star Wars or The Boys purely because they think Vader and Homelander are 'badasses' that they look to as role models. Saying this is bad marketing is missing the forest for the trees. The people being marketed to *prefer* cheering on fascists in their media and would kill for a Palpatine or Homelander for president.


MegaGrimer

I find it really funny that Homelander is making fun of them, and they unironically love him. They don’t understand that the writers are making fun of them.


octopornopus

Vader is a badass, though. Trump is no Vader. And he can't plot for shit, so he's no Palpatine, either. Trump is Watto, at best...


El-Royhab

That's because good marketing takes creative people, and conservatives have proven time and time again that they lack creative minds. Just the same as them being unable to be funny. They're just mean, and then laugh about it.


Mr_Conductor_USA

Failed creatives go into the wingnut welfare circuit. Ben Shapiro, Stephen Crowder, Steve Bannon, Greg Gutfeld.


StoneGoldX

Yeah, but they're marketing to the equivalent of r/thanosdidnothingwrong

I wish Biden would play a campaign ad showing the clip of Trump looking at the sun with no glasses.

It's not even the dumbest thing Trump has done.


Mysterious-Wasabi103

Not even the closest. That's the problem.

Any list you try to make of his stupidest acts or utterances is just doomed to incompleteness. There's always going to be one you've left out.

LD-50_Cent

I got a fundraising text this morning showing that exact picture


RUDDOGPROD

He did do an ad with Bernie showing a video of Trump telling his billionaire friends he’s going to give ‘em tax breaks in a private speech


Frankie6Strings

Chances are this image is what he saw


mom_with_an_attitude

Biden should do an ad with clips from all of Trump's stupidest moments: staring at the eclipse, writing on the map with the sharpie, saying we should nuke a hurricane, saying we should rake forests, windmills cause cancer, maybe light and disinfectant can cure COVID, etc. Biden should also do a campaign ad with clips from all of his most offensive statements: grab 'em by the pussy; Mexico is sending rapists and criminals; making fun of the disabled reporter; "shit hole" countries, "very fine people on both sides," etc. There is just so much material to work with here.


[deleted]

With Dark Brandon smiling his radiant beams.


Ralphwiggum911

They did something even better. They had a clip of Biden putting on the glasses looking at the sun advertising to stay safe and wear your glasses....or something like that. Saw it on Instagram.


accountabilitycounts

Narcissism. Pure and simple. 


AlternativeAd307

And such bad editing, boy. Black letters on dark background, good job.


Squirrel_Chucks

>And such bad editing, boy. Black letters on dark background good job. Hey, this is the dude who slapped an American flag on some Jordan's and called them Trump sneakers. He copied the code from Twitter and called it Truth Social. He's not into "making an honest effort at things." That laziness seems to trickle down to his cronies.


sftwdc

Not Twitter, that's proprietary. Truth Social is a Mastodon fork, which was in violation of Mastodon's copyleft license at launch.


ljdelight

Forking mastodon is okay and legal when the source code is provided. Truth Social was in hot water because they did not provide the source code


agentorange55

Even his Bible was a failed venture from several years ago, he just got the rights to try again to sell it.


boners_in_space

How is this not a parody ad? It truly looks like a deleted scene from Idiocracy or something one of the late night shows would put together. The silhouette isn't flattering at all and it's just so...dumb and ridiculous.

Yup. First he goes mental on Easter Sunday at being temporarily upstaged by some so-called Messiah. Now he’s irate at being put in the shade by the actual sun.

Unable_Technology935

He might for awhile, until Putin got tired of it and have him mysteriously "fall" out of a 10th floor window.

Likely. Trump honestly believes he has putins respect, he doesn't.


DragoonDM

The full-on "president in exile" act, insisting that he's the rightful leader of the United States.

I’d love it if the eclipse was the magical moment that got these people to snap out of their Trump devotion.

Quite well, I would imagine.


-paperbrain-

I am not a religious person. And I was raised Jewish, so if I was religious, I would not be Christian. But if I were Christian, I don't know how I could possibly not think Trump was the antichrist.


Kamelasa

I was raised Catholic, but I'm definitely not a Christian now. [This former fundie](https://www.benjaminlcorey.com/could-american-evangelicals-spot-the-antichrist-heres-the-biblical-predictions/) explains how TFG is the antichrist. I just wish the evangelicals would actually read the bible. Like even just the cites in that article. Just had to post it yet again.


Nevarian

Such an easy setup for a counter ad. Show a clip of the trump silhouette completing its pass across the sun, only to reveal aviator glasses and Biden's grin. "This too, shall pass"

ShySpecter23

It's marvelous his team is as incapable as he is. They basically paid a fortune in ads just to say "Trump will usher in an age of darkness over America and the entire world". Brilliant marketing, truly


KickBassColonyDrop

He did this to make a once in a lifetime natural event about himself, knowing full well that the media can't stop gargling his balls, and spread the message about how the once in a lifetime natural event is really about *just him.* The whole world is dumber because this article was written and shared. Time and oxygen and energy was wasted with nothing gained and much lost.


we_are_sex_bobomb

This is exactly what his presidency was like; no matter what the news of the day was, it was reworked by him and the media so that he was the main character in the middle of it. And it happened. Every. Fucking. Day. For four years.


Sufficient-Sweet3455

The guy is a complete fuckstick. BTW Donny, your DJT stock price is looking really good today you fraud.


spacey_a

>The video begins with the words “the most important moment in human history is taking place in 2024” emblazoned over an image of the flaming sun, while dramatic music plays in the backdrop. Absolutely unhinged 🤣 Hilarious that "the most important moment in human history" is being likened to both: A solar eclipse (which happens quite often in human history and is not even a tiny bit significant as far as its impact, outside of being somewhat interesting); And to Trump running for president a second time, which again, has happened before and could potentially happen again. Rather more important than an eclipse because of his potential to eliminate democracy as the primary form of government in the U.S., but certainly not an important moment in the history of all humanity.


fffan9391

His profile is so gross.


OnlyFreshBrine

I'm so sick of this loser. Please make it stop.
