Fuck yeah. I’ve got 69 ordered to go in my totally normal and not crappy or gay in anyway shrine dedicated to an old man with dementia that paints himself orange.

I love how ridiculously fake the representation of him is. Not fat, not wearing heel lifts, no ass out because of the lifts, no tie dangling over the precipice of a McDonalds belly, no ridiculous coiffeur of a combover.

Our Dear Leader.

Oh look, hes pushing yet another Golden Idol..

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 day ago

That is not a statue of him.

[–] timewarp@lemmy.world 69 points 1 day ago (2 children)

What does the Bible say about those who worship golden statues?

[–] Thekingoflorda@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Don’t worry, the target audience is people who can’t read.

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

Target Audience is people who don't give a flying fuck about the bible or the brown socialist terrorist inside it

You know, the majority of American "Christians"

Yeehaw git'r'dun bake the steak boy howdy?

RIP to the ER staff in deep red states being subjected to whatever stories they're gonna hear.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 36 points 1 day ago

~deep~ red states

At least the base is flared.

[–] auraithx@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 1 day ago

The writers this season aren’t even trying anymore.

Americans = QVC shoppers.

It's like his demographic is people that buy diet pills and insurance from daytime tv commercials.

[–] WatDabney@lemmy.dbzer0.com 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So can we assume it smells like some combination of stale bronzer, McDonalds, flop sweat and ass?

[–] obvs@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Oh it's definitely gonna smell like some asses.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

LOL, that's supposed to be him?

[–] Cocodapuf@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (1 children)

That's not him. Where's the signature paunch?

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Not to mention the paunch as well

[–] Cocodapuf@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Fair enough

The fragrance is available in two versions – one for men and one for women – and will set back supporters a whopping $249 for each 100ml bottle.

A Profile of Trump Voters: The Demographics of his MAGA Enthusiasts and Their Relationship to Him

In their majority they tend to be white, male, and mainly older, are highly conservative, support traditional values such as religion and proud patriotism, are less likely to have a college degree, are more likely to be rural or small town-based and lower-income

I dunno if $250 bottles of cologne is highly aligned with what Trump's demographic wants, but I suppose he has more experience in brand building than I have.

[–] YourAvgMortal@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

It’s going to flop, but that’s ok because they only bought one lot from the Chinese factory

[–] Almonds@mander.xyz 23 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I don't think Trump has ever had that body shape. It's weird that he both signed it and put "his" likeness on it when he isn't the kind of famous person that people normally want either of those things from

[–] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 31 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It should be doing the weird Trump Lean

[–] Almonds@mander.xyz 7 points 1 day ago

That would be iconic!

He is incapable of that though

[–] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 15 points 1 day ago

If it DOESNT smell like DIRTY DIAPER I'm going to be ANGRY but Still vote for Trump again!

[–] Zier@fedia.io 6 points 1 day ago

Why is that statue shiny orange????

Before you know it there will be a Trump fan shop in every city, selling his parfume and other nonsense. Then they'll conquer the rest of the market: 'gold' side tables, 'gold' doormats, 'gold' bread knives, 'gold' salami, 'gold' olives, 'gold' potatoes, 'gold' paperclips, 'gold' sunglasses, 'gold' flip-flops, you name it. All with his head on it. And of course that signature 45-47 lettering. Super exclusive.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Does it smell like a combination of Old Spice and English Leather?

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 12 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Naw it is dirty diapers and beef grease

[–] Zier@fedia.io 2 points 1 day ago

You forgot the twice fried KFC and room temperature ketchup.

Shush dude that's my retirement plan right there
