Conspiracy theory: this is Heritage Foundation steering in order to safeguard their totalitarian dictatorship in the event of Trump's death. They're making sure that his successors get their faces shown as much as possible up front to ease the transition.

Honestly not a bad conspiracy

[-] hovercat 6 points 1 month ago

I just think they're there to make sure that if he has an "episode", they can shuffle him off to bed and take over.

[-] MrMakabar@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 month ago

I would go with Thiel and Vance.

Bush: Dealt with 9/11

Obama: Dealt with Bin Laden.

Biden: Dealt with covid.

Trump: Played golf more than any other president in history in his singular first term (which by the way, ALSO included the begining of covid), is the only president to get impeached TWICE (and did it in his singular first term), got 34x convicted for actions that occured DURING his singular first term.

And now he needs a team of security blankets behind him....one of which is his son.....to support him as he CONTINUES to destroy this country, and now the world. Hitler continues to be the single most destructive force the world has ever seen. Trump really feels like he's trying to be a contender for that crown.

I'm as dumbfounded today as I was the day after the election. HOW THE FUCK DID AMERICA ELECT THIS SHITBAG AGAIN???!!!

[-] Tower@lemmy.zip 38 points 1 month ago

Left to right, those are JD Vance, Marco Rubio, and Pete Hegseth.

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 16 points 1 month ago

Okay can we not glorify America's 21st century batch of war criminals?

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I fully agree with you on Bush.

I fully disagree on Obama.

I don't fully agree on Biden, but I can see where you have points to be made for your case.

All in all kind of a mixed bag really.

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 5 points 1 month ago

For Obama, setting aside the war on terror business and keeping Guantanamo open, enjoy. There's no definition of the word "war criminal" that doesn't include Obama.

[-] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

How the fuck does America, at all levels, continue to accept the ongoing destruction of it's values, infrastructure and reputation is beyond me.

Which one is his son? Let’s kick start the real conspiracy.

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

Good to see that the American "left" has been fully taken over by Bush era conservatives.

[-] Schadrach@lemmy.sdf.org 31 points 1 month ago

Yes man entourage? You mean handlers.

[-] D_C@lemm.ee 15 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Russian and also physical handlers. They are there to catch him if his leg braces give out from all the obesity and literal shit tumbling down his trousers.

[-] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago

Russia? Are you seriously still on that nonsensical notion??

You think Russia is handling Trump to attack... a Russian client state???

Given what you consider "evidence", that laughable link and its even more ridiculous video, of course you'd believe complete nonsense.

I bet you think AIPAC is just a poor little group with no influence...

[-] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Who the fuck do you think is going to rebuild the Iranian nuclear sites? Russia.

[-] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

The depths of lunacy of you conspiracy theorists is endless.

You know we're cooked when Qanon tier conspiracy theory is mainstream on the liberal side

[-] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 28 points 1 month ago

It's about accountability. The buck stops with him, so he speaks alone and takes sole responsibility for the decision, and it's consequences. Trump doesn't understand that. His lackeys are there so he can blame them if it hits the fan, Iran retaliates on a US urban population, and hes left with only taco options.

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 21 points 1 month ago

The buck stops with him, so he speaks alone and takes sole responsibility for the decision, and it's consequences.

That has literally never happened in my lifetime.

[-] AppleTea@lemmy.zip 15 points 1 month ago

Hey! You're not supposed to remember and analyze the actual actions of those in power! Keep your nitpicking to tone and presentation, please.

[-] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 22 points 1 month ago

I can excuse starting another war, but I draw the line at having people behind him.

[-] KatakiY@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Right? Who gives a fuxk. Dude just tried to escalate into thermonuclear war to protect Zionists and we're talking about how he didn't follow some unsaid procedural rule about how he has to be manly and announce his war crimes solo

[-] TemplaerDude@lemm.ee 21 points 1 month ago

He’s such a fucking coward and Americans elected him twice, which says something about Americans.

[-] Tja@programming.dev 4 points 1 month ago

By a bigger margin the second time.

[-] Smoogs@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Some voted for him 3 times even

[-] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago

I thought that was weird too. I couldn't remember another time I had seen anyone's behind the President there. So weird and pointless.

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmings.world 22 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

When Obama announced the passage of ObamaCare, Biden was by his side. I remember it well because just before Obama spoke, you could hear Biden on a hot mic whisper "This is a big fucking deal, Mr President."

I laughed my ass off.

[-] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Fair. I dont remember the details, but I do remember that quote. I mostly remember Obama standing there alone announcing Bin Laden's death. It was quite memorable for obvious reasons but also I was in a bar at my buddy's 21st birthday hangout, and things for rowdy.

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmings.world 12 points 1 month ago

The night Obama announced Bin Laden's death was also the night he humiliated HitlerPig at the big Press Banquet. Some believe that was the moment that he decided to run for president. So while Obama was roasting HitlerPig in front of the world, he knew that he'd be ordering Bin Laden's killing later that evening. Interesting context.

[-] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago

Trump is always surrounded by people in his White House interviews. My whole life any time the president was talking with a camera on them in the White House it was just him on screen the vast majority of the time.

Now there are also at least 5 people standing there while he sits. Sometimes I think it's a test. Will they stand for an hour? Will their face crack when he says something dumb?

[-] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

I've noticed this also. What do you think the psychology is here? Is it meant to make him seem stronger, or of tougher solidarity?

[-] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I think he is a needy person that taxes everyone around him with his constant need for adulation. So it takes a team of people to keep him happy enough to not pick up Twitter/Truth and start opening his brain on it. Because it is clear to me that he has no adult supervision when he posts.

[-] mathemachristian 15 points 1 month ago

The US has to make announcements about military action so often there are already traditions on how to do it. And if a president doesn't keep to them he is a weirdo.

[-] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 month ago

Being weak and scared is Trump and his followers' whole thing.

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

He even changed the presidential address microphones. They’ve been using dual SM-57s for decades, but I suppose they’re not good enough for him.

Trump looks kinda short in that image. Good thing little Marco is there.

[-] darkdemize@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago

I'm legitimately sorry for singling you out on this, but fuck you and everyone else who insists on height-shaming people.

[-] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Lol. Because calling him weak and insecure is legitimately better, morally speaking. I single HIM out for shaming, because this short, tiny handed fool, in particular, deserves all the scorn, ridicule and disdain directed his way.

[-] TheBeege@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

I think you're missing the point, my dude.

There are plenty of legitimate things within Trump's control that you can criticize him for.

Criticizing him for his height strongly implies you're criticizing any short person or saying that short people can't be in positions of power. I think what you mean to get at is his insecurity about his height and his childish need to make himself feel taller. That would absolutely be fair game, as those are his choices. He and others never got to choose how tall they are, just how they react to it.

But yes, fuck Trump's childish insecurities. Fucking manchild

[-] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I know exactly what op was saying. And I'm saying, again, I single him out because of the despicable human being he is. Little Marco is his pet name for Rubio.

[-] FoxyFerengi@startrek.website 6 points 1 month ago

I wonder if they're there to keep him in line?

Rubio in the background is kind of a surprise to me. The other two are more desperate to be noticed every day, in any way they can be

[-] jsomae@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 month ago

Side note but I hate that this these are presented in counterclockwise chronological order for some reason.

So tired of everyone stroking the Emporer's fragile ego. Dear Leader can learn to suck himself off.

[-] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 1 points 1 month ago

Too weak Trump.
