Ah, the left-wing onejoke. It had been almost 24 hours since I'd seen you.
EDIT: Pointing out a lack of originality has really made you guys mad, huh? lol
The fuck you talking about? We have lots of jokes:
Orange man bad (because, and I can't believe I have to explain this, fascists are bad)
Two scoops
Mr. 6'3" is somehow shorter than 6'1" Obama
Billions and billions and billions and billions and...
Tiny hands
Accordion hands
The only two adjectives are "beautiful" and "perfect"
hamberders
covfefe
Drawer full of "medication"
Salutes North Korean generals
Lived in a gaudy gold-plated New York penthouse and shat in a gold-plated toilet, but is totally a man of the people and not one of the "elite"
Went bankrupt selling steaks to Americans
Went bankrupt selling alcohol to Americans
Went bankrupt selling gambling to Americans
Twice-divorced, thrice-married, slept-with-pornstars-and-paid-them-to-keep-quiet "man of God."
2 Corinthians
The army "rammed the ramparts" and "took over the airports" in 1775
"Dumbest goddamn student I ever had."
Won't wear masks because it would smear his makeup. (Oh wait, there's that one joke again. Silly me!)
But I guess you are right about all of that being one joke- that Donald Trump was ever or will ever be fit to be President.
You forgot diaper.
And staring at the sun.
Iirc that wasn't just staring at the sun, that was staring at the sun during an eclipse.
Every time I think about that, I say to myself "Yup. That's the US President there."
Cue the "I'm proud to be an American...." song when you think about it.
Oh Jesus fuck, how did I forget that one?
I had "Diaper Don" on my list, but I guess I just forgot it.
Bing bing, bong bong bong, bing bing! Your deep state software hasn't been updated to the latest memes!
The most recent one is "Don Poorleone" after the whole bond debacle.
Oh I thought it was "deadbeat don"
I'm not updating my list until my next Sorosbux check clears. The last one took too long to arrive.
Republicans don't have the empathy or self-reflection to have a sense of humor.
Do you remember that photo of his shitty combover being blown backwards where you could see the border between his skin and his clown makeup? It was circulating with some text like, "after you use Tupperware for spaghetti one time."
You forgot "Florida Man"
I'm clapping and crying and shitting rn
I don't think I know the two scoops one.
White he was occupying the White House (you know, the 75% of the time he wasn't golfing) Trump would take two scoops of ice cream and make sure everyone else got just one scoop.
Hence the name "Donny Two-Scoops." Bonus point, that's also why Jr is named "Half-Scoop."
To be fair, it is a topical and funny joke.
Topical? The same joke about someone's appearance for over 8 years? Are you gonna record yourself doing the Harlem Shake later?
It's fair to a room full of people with Alzheimer's, maybe, lol.
Holy shit your comments are a joke lol.
This guy just makes a lot of long winded posts insulting people. Block and report.

This is pretty funny and ironic coming from someone who is very adamantly defending "orange" as an insult.
As if Trump didn't do the same. "Pocahontas," "Sleepy Joe," etc.
Projection.
Go away.
You should aspire to more mature rhetorical manner than Donald Trump, lmao.
You should also learn what projection means. And not to assume everyone who says something you don't like is a Trump acolyte.
EDIT: lmao, dogpiled downvotes for suggesting being more mature than Trump. Guess you guys only hate Trump when you aren't acting just like him.
BLERUGH BLEURGH BLEURGH IMMATURE LOL BLEURGH BLERUGH.
That's the only way to respond to stupidity like yours.
Go away.
I pity you.

ok
actually genuinely cringed irl. The worst part is I bet you really thought this was very clever as you were writing it, lol
I cannot believe how many people are really seriously unironically taking a big stand and getting extremely indignant over someone telling you your zero-effort insults are zero-effort, lol.
Just go away, bot.
lol
It's funny because Trump chooses to look orange. He probably spends a bunch of money turning on and maintaining the orange. He somehow truly believes that is his best look.
I don't see it ever not being funny.
That doesn't really make a difference. Hasn't Trump done and said enough stupid shit that actually merits criticism? Making fun of how someone looks is literally the lowest tier of criticism.
Yeah, if you guys haven't grown up by now, I agree you probably never will.
I'm in my 40's and chuckle when I see bullies thrown on their own sword. Review my post history and ridicule me appropriately, no one here gives a fuck.
Age doesn't dictate maturity.
What a strange definition of "bullying".
Nah, that's the ideologues' playbook, not mine. Digging for dirt in post histories is a loser move.
This shit is 100% a bully - there are so many fucking examples of him being a playground bully out there but here's just one: https://youtu.be/PX9reO3QnUA
He's a fucking clown.
Oh, Trump, yeah, he's a narcissistic dipshit.
Actually, there's a term that's kinda fallen out of popularity in recent years, that fits him perfectly: "blowhard".
Big talk, empty talk, lots of it. Fitting, no?
Came back here to find you know all about those "loser moves."
It's funny because this chuckle fuck won't go away. We'd all love to never see skits about him on late night again... so can he please shut the fuck up and go away already?
It feels like he has gotten more orange recently. I don't know if it's that he's using a different shade of concealer, is missing more spots so his pale skin shows against the concealer, or the various images I've seen have had weird saturation issues, but it's noticeable. Like a bad spray tan in some images, though I expect some of those may be saturated.
Given how angry some folks get over certain jokes based on the age of the joke indicates to me that the jokes remain at least somewhat effective in their goal of drawing attention to how ridiculous something is.
Whats the harlem shake?
Yeah but now we can append “in jail” and it becomes a whole new joke
I guess "let's name a prison after him" was too subtle for you?
You should stop digging.
That's a massive yes lol
They’re all original again: we can just append “jail” to every joke we think of
