So he is having two people fight in a cage on his front lawn for his amusement... That definitely doesn't sound like dictator behavior.

Jesus Christ... We're hitting peak Idiocracy so much faster than the documentary expected.

[-] DexiMachina@lemmy.world 7 points 18 hours ago

At least Camacho had a three point plan.

Brought to you by Carl's Junior. If you're so smart why don't you say it?

[-] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 6 points 14 hours ago

UFC and the bro crowd that watches UFC are the ones that loves trump. He knows his crowd

[-] D_C@sh.itjust.works 19 points 19 hours ago

This just oozes classiness and decorum.

[-] TwinTitans@lemmy.world 40 points 23 hours ago

Did anyone expect a low IQ felon rapist to have class?

This is what America looks like when people let the village idiots out-vote them.

[-] Witchfire@lemmy.world 51 points 1 day ago

Mountain Dew Camacho was a better president

[-] Blumpkinhead@lemmy.world 6 points 19 hours ago

God, he would be so preferable at this point.

[-] absGeekNZ@lemmy.nz 2 points 16 hours ago

Not from USA; but.....Terry Crews would be a great leader; he is way to nice to actually run though.

[-] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 23 points 23 hours ago

I hope it flops even harder than his stupid military birthday parade.

[-] Estiar@sh.itjust.works 12 points 20 hours ago

Gosh. I thought this was the onion for a second

In the closing ceremonies of USAs existence, the man who destroyed it will shine a light on himself as a hero.

Where are the epstein files, kiddy diddler?

[-] TuffNutzes@lemmy.world 39 points 1 day ago

This is what happens when Biff Tannen becomes Dear Leader.

[-] nosuchanon@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

Honestly that would be an upgrade at this point.

[-] mere 7 points 19 hours ago

Saw the title and was like 'haha funny, imagine'. Then 'wait, it's not satire??'

[-] Infrapink@thebrainbin.org 2 points 18 hours ago

That's the whole point of this magazine.

[-] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 20 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

The president's limo will be there on the front lawn, up on blocks with it's wheels and hood missing. A few barrels will be interspresed with fire for warmpth.

Trump will be seated on a beaten up old lawn chair, the kind that your parents had in the 70s and never got around to replacing. To his right there's a styrofoam cooler; the kind you get at a gas station when your heading out fishing with your pa. It's filled with Pabst Blue Ribbon.

Melania will put her hair up in a Peggy Bundy beehive and squeeze her aging ass into pair of daisy dukes and cowboy boots.

Joe Rogan appears and kneels before Trump before the match begins. But instead of kissing a ring, it's a beer tab.

The festivities begin with Kid Rock catterwalling out what he thinks is the national anthem, but is actually just a bunch of random lyrics he put together during the last time he blacked out.

Dean Cain is the "celebrity" referee for the match and Kevin Sorbo is there to provide some colour commentary alongside Rogan.

Due to the unpopularity of all of them, no one wants to volunteer to be the people in the match, so it eventually Trump sends ICE out to round up some homeless people and it quickly devolves into bumfights_dot_com

It'll be great!

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 10 points 23 hours ago

I can see this now as a Street Fighter level background.

[-] Zahille7@lemmy.world 5 points 21 hours ago

I hate that you bring up Dean Cain and Kevin Sorbo in the same sentence.

They're actually working on some weird-ass Christian golf comedy/drama movie together, with Dean producing and Kevin starring. My brother worked on it for about a week or so.

He only agreed to it as it was a way for him to get his foot in the door for the industry, and he was a fan of the Hercules show when he was a kid. Also Lois & Clark was apparently our grandma's favorite show, so it was like this weird amalgamation of feelings when he went to work on it.

The nonfiction version of "Idiocracy" brought to you LIVE! Stay tuned for the collapse.

[-] FaceDeer@fedia.io 31 points 1 day ago

As always, I must point out that president Camacho actually cared about Americans and when presented with a problem he was too stupid to solve he sought out the advice of smarter people to make use of in solving it.

President Camacho was a way better president than Trump.

[-] knatschus@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 1 day ago

Then let me point out that Camacho was the president at the end of the idiocracy period.

When people point to trump and idiocracy they mean he's the start of it.

A true, worthy god-emperor would make it a fight to the death and compete personally.

[-] Thaurin@lemmy.world 29 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Yes, but also cheat by poisoning his gladiator slave opponent before the match.

Your tax dollars at work.

[-] cronenthal@discuss.tchncs.de 37 points 1 day ago

It is so tasteless and yet so fitting. We will have an abundance of great imagery for the history books.

[-] Susaga@sh.itjust.works 26 points 1 day ago

What better celebration is there for Trump's America than locking people in cages?

[-] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 14 points 1 day ago

Do tacky people generally know that they're tacky, or is part of tackiness being unaware?

This is the bad place

[-] klu9@piefed.social 18 points 1 day ago

the UFC fight {...} will involve fighter weigh-ins at the Lincoln Memorial

What next? Mandingo fights on MLK's grave?

Doge sees nothing wrong with this? They cut healthcare but they don't cut a boxing match in the white house?

What a fucking lowlife.

[-] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

I bet the cage will be gold since Trump loves gold.
