If only this photo was taken a minute later

Did anybody expect anything less?

I'm still surprised he didn't pick himself as his own vice president candidate.

[–] evidences 4 points 1 hour ago

He tried but Pres and VP candidates by law have to be from different states.

Trump, every time he looks at his phone:

I'd elect me.

I'd elect me so hard.

He knows that he can't pull off having the coolest fucking lockscreen of all time:

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

Is there some story behind this picture or is it just some random picture?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago

Looks more hot than cool to me.

[–] jordanlund 6 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

Man, I must be really boring...

Lock screen:

Wallpaper:

They're nice. Maybe you're nice too. You know, nice and normal. That's something to aspire to nowadays. Anyway have a great nice day.

[–] pyre 1 points 2 hours ago

that lock screen is insane

[–] [email protected] 18 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Donald Trump's wallpaper is a picture of ~~himself~~ a well known rapist

[–] toiletobserver 4 points 4 hours ago

You sir are technically correct, the best kind of correct

[–] PriorityMotif 48 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I wish he didn't look so much like my grandma

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 hours ago

Great, now I can't unsee it

[–] [email protected] 63 points 7 hours ago

What an amazingly fragile person.

[–] FireWire400 6 points 4 hours ago

Did he sign his own cap?

[–] [email protected] 33 points 7 hours ago

Of fucking course it is.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

That's the lock screen

To represent how he's going to be locked up

[–] pivot_root 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I hate that you're likely correct.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 hours ago

... because you want to see the felony charges dismissed instead?

[–] Sanctus 38 points 7 hours ago

That is completely expected.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 7 hours ago

That's just so his handlers can tell him it's his reflection. "How do I look today?" "Great, sir, just look at that reflection!"

[–] [email protected] 14 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

My boss also has a picture of himself as his wallpaper. 😳

[–] Lost_My_Mind 5 points 6 hours ago

Is your boss running for president right now?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

This angle really accentuates his dumptruck ass.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 hours ago

That bulk is half diaper.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago

And he chose that picture of himself?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 hours ago

he might forget who he is otherwise

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago

And it's one of the most unflattering pictures I've ever seen in my god damn life

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

That's because no one else on the planet matters more to him than... him. Donald Psycho McTrump.

[–] Valmond 2 points 2 hours ago

Not psycho IMO, Narcissistic.

Well ðis þread just made me deeply self conscious about þinking v making my home screen a picture of me wið my GF ðat I'm particularly fond of.

[–] ajoebyanyothername 2 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (1 children)

I'm probably going to regret asking, but why the odd letters? And why, as near as I can tell, are there two different ones for 'th'?

[–] [email protected] -5 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

ð and þ are lost letters of ð english alphabet which technically were used interchangeably, but in oðer languages represent two distinct sounds.

Þink vs Ðou if you want to sound it out to get what's being distinguished, it's like ð difference between B and P, or D and T, but for ð two sounds you hear whenever you read a th.

Which still doesn't really answer why use them. Why make it intentionally harder to understand your comments? What's the upside to it?
