It is however very in character for trump to say otherwise lol

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com -5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

it's 50.8% of the votes that went to either Kamala or Trump

[–] 13igTyme@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Not how that works, but okay.

[–] Resonosity@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago

That's true, but the meme quite clearly says that Trump got 50.8%.

You're wrong Lemming

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 27 points 1 week ago

Well that's because he wasn't a dictator yet at that time of that election, next time I'm sure he'll win BIGLY with 389% of the vote!

[–] lennybird@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago

I might be missing the joke but Trump won with 49.81% of the vote.

If only that dickhead in Butler knew to aim for the center of mass....
But no, the idiot needed his headshot.
He wanted to be Lee Harvey Oswald but ended up John Schrank

[–] JayDee@lemmy.sdf.org 16 points 1 week ago

Honestly, we don't know where he was actually aiming. He could've been aiming center mass and just sucked, which might line up with the whole story about him not being allowed into the marksmanship club at his school.

Does Trump wear body armour?

Even without it, one shot centre of mass isn't a guaranteed kill.

Has a much greater chance than wiffing it completely.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

The target’s age and health probably also factor in.

You'd think that bullet or the broken glass would be in the Smithsonian or something. You know, if it was real.

[–] lennybird@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Bullet probably has the herpa derp on it and was a biohazard.

[–] gmtom@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Checking if this was posted in .ml to know if it's ironic or not.

[–] IEatDaGoat@lemm.ee 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I still can't believe half the country voted for this...

Are you really going to nitpick about 1%? 49 is basically 50

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Just gonna point out that only like 40-60 percent of the country votes on any given election year. So being generous Trump was only voted in by about thirty percent of the population at most.

[–] jeena@piefed.jeena.net 1 points 1 week ago

If you don't vote even if you can your vote goes to the extremist party automatically. You can' not vote and then claim you were against it. If you really were, you would have voted against it, even if the alternative wasn't good either.

[–] IEatDaGoat@lemm.ee -4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Alright nitpick #2 "half of the people of the United States that are adults and citizens" y'all are so autistic sometimes. Just understand the intention of the comment and move on. I don't need you to give me an aKcHuAlLy comment.

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

But it's not even half of adults and citizens, only 40-60% of eligible voters even vote, so if you were counting children it would be even lower than 1/3. Probably as low as 1/4

[–] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah I don't get why they think it's nit picking when it's a massive difference in view lmfao.

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I told that to my mom when she was 49 and she got mad :(

[–] IEatDaGoat@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

My condolences 🙏😞

[–] Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 week ago

Honecker won with 98%

Winnie Pooh looks buff

Global capitalism

[–] Ep1cFac3pa1m@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I still can’t get over how small his hands look in every picture of this bullshit

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz -1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

106%

It's a necrocracy. I'm going to risk the dead also vote, by representation.

100%

Full support for the leader. Dissention is not an option.

88%

The resemblance of a democracy is still to uphold. Very lightly. But...

50.9%

This is democracy and maths call the victor!

Do I have to add it?

[–] jeena@piefed.jeena.net 2 points 1 week ago

The meme is a joke by making fun of Trump for behaving like the other Autocrats while he can't even get his numbers up like them (yet).
