"Don Poorleone" is a masterful jab at Trump's ego, I love to see it.

Also, anyone who represents Trump in court should already have known, that at some point or other he will blurt out something that undermines his own case.

Could add a middle name moniker in quotes just to twist the knife, like some of the old mobsters used to have. Like Frankie "the nose" Luciano.

So Don "little hands" Poorleone

If by masterful, you mean childish and pathetic, sure.

Trump calls people names, its childish and the actions of a bully. Shit like this is a sad attempt to mimic it, but is somehow even worse. It's like a 4th grader making a up lame insult to a 2nd grader, and a 2nd grader responding with an even lamer insult.

Like, if you're going to get down and wrestle a pig whose wallowing in shit, you better at least have an idea how and not look like a fucking amateur.

Someone has no idea how memes work

Or how fragile Don's ego is. That's the point. Give him a taste of his own medicine because he can't take it.

[-] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 35 points 1 year ago

My g this is Trump you're talking about. This man cares about himself and his ego over anything. Some polite and well-researched rebuke or dissertation isn't going to do anything about that, we've tried that for 8 years plus. He's getting his hour in the courts, with the appropriate process and decorum he deserves, and imo a whole lot more chances than he deserves at that. He's gone through it many times now and continually shows us that he has no shame.

The one thing that gets directly on the nerves of this serial name-calling bully is to call him names. This one is crafted to poke at his specific desire to appear like a rich and successful man, and highlights the fact he chronically cannot keep a story straight between himself and his lawyers.

Hope that clears it up for you, cheers.

This guy over here thinking highbrow insults would land.

[-] stoy@lemmy.zip 23 points 1 year ago

childish and pathetic

Don't change the subject, we are discussing the memes against Mr. Trump, not Mr. Trump himself.

[-] YeetPics@mander.xyz 7 points 1 year ago

childish and pathetic

It drew you here, so you must be right LMAO

[-] Minarble@aussie.zone 59 points 1 year ago

Calling Destitute Don names is unsportsmanlike.

I don’t have dime store Donald’s number but I can understand why you would think turtlehead Trump would have dirty Donny diapers.

Memes won't change what will happen. He will get a stay from an appeals court, they will reduce the bond to a fraction of what it was and he will pay it and suffer almost no consequences

Edit: oh hey, I can predict the future would you look at that

[-] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 33 points 1 year ago

They've already denied it. Trump's claims of having the money but not wanting to spend it on this isn't helping him either.

[-] LanternEverywhere@kbin.social 28 points 1 year ago

At what time of day is the actual deadline?

[-] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 56 points 1 year ago

The "deadline" is tomorrow whenever. If he doesn't post a bond tomorrow, the state can begin proceedings to seize assets. Likely the first step will be to get a court order probibiting Trump from selling off or giving away any assets, which he will fight tooth and nail. The process could take months or years, and if he is elected president he can make that money ten times over selling more state secrets.

[-] skeezix@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

How many classified documents does Trump have to sell to Russia to make back the 500m?

[-] Witchfire@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

If he was a smooth criminal, one. But in reality Putin will take advantage of his stupidity and ask for them all.

[-] return2ozma@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

He'll end up paying it. It's been a slow news week.

[-] lemmefixdat4u@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago

The real question is - how is Putin going to funnel the money to him?

[-] Burn_The_Right@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

The same way he sold secrets to the Saudis through a $2 billion "investment" in an unskilled, unqualified relative.

[-] elvith@feddit.de 11 points 1 year ago

I mean he's named Donald so we all know how this is going to end...

[-] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Sure he hasn't that much money, he's Donald not Scrooge McDuck.
