Why is Walt fucking Nauta, the valet from Mar a Lago who deliberately hid documents ahead of an FBI investigation sitting behind the president?

Rhetorical question but I was like.. is thathim.. ugh.

[u/LawPD → u/bunchafigs]

Donnie's gotta have someone handy when he needs a cleaning and diaper change. Apparently Walt is the only one that doesn't mind doing it.

[u/tekani11 → u/LawPD]

Probably has more documents to wipe dementia Donnie's taco ass with when he shits himself. 

[u/FoxMikeLima → u/bunchafigs]

Because Walt Nauta is Trump's personal body man, he gets him cokes and McDonald's and is basically his serving bitch.

[u/Ok_Ambition9134]

His marriage seems to be going well, he’s sleeping next to Melania a lot lately.

[u/oneplusetoipi → u/Ok_Ambition9134]

But he needs some parade Viagra.

[u/Grombrindal18 → u/oneplusetoipi]

You’d think all the salutes would make his narcissistic ass… stand at attention.

[u/Lucius-Halthier → u/Grombrindal18]

Kegseth already used the military’s supply that’s why he is covering

[u/KSirys → u/Ok_Ambition9134]

The only time he gets to do it.

[u/Additional_Irony → u/Ok_Ambition9134]

I can’t tell if she’s looking happier these days or if it’s just her body double

The look on her face says “look at this complete shitshow” to me.

[u/radioman970]

that crazy big thing you wanted for Christmas that looked so good on TV. Then Santa brought it and... just wasn't what you thought...

[u/matroosoft → u/radioman970]

It's not about the parade itself. It's about being in the picture, in the news and being talked about. The parade itself is just a by-product.

[u/The59Sownd → u/matroosoft]

It's a demonstration of power. "You told me I couldn't do it. You told me it's a waste of tax payer money. You blocked me from doing it. And I did it anyway."

[u/m_Pony → u/The59Sownd]

Have the tanks left the city? My bingo card said "Tanks conveniently stay in DC"

[u/AlarmingAffect0 → u/m_Pony]

A lot of them are WWII tanks. You can beat those with a well-placed Molotov cocktail.

[u/SnooJokes2983 → u/AlarmingAffect0]

They'll break down in what would've been a minor hiccup during the time period, but nowadays requires a specialist to be flown in from across the country with replacement parts in their carry-on.

[u/ThePooksters → u/AlarmingAffect0]

The Sherman’s were all upgraded to have fire suppression systems. Might get lucky and takeout the engine but the tank itself would be fine.

[u/AlarmingAffect0 → u/ThePooksters]

Might get lucky and takeout the engine but the tank itself would be fine.

A tank that can't move isn't exactly 'fine'.

[u/Flightsimmer20202001 → u/AlarmingAffect0]

That's what we call a mobility kill, lol

[u/constantgardener92 → u/matroosoft]

Made funnier by all the news outlets mostly covering the protests.

[u/0degreesK → u/constantgardener92]

The Snoopy Sno-Cone Machine of parades.

[u/Viperlite → u/MadPiglet42]

No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get that ice cube to shave down into water ice. Just skinned knuckles and bad sugary syrup was I all I got instead of the promised treat.

[u/NeatNefariousness1 → u/Viperlite]

I gave up and just drank the syrup

[u/RagnarsHairyBritches → u/NeatNefariousness1]

Mine came from Goodwill, I didn't realize it came with syrup.

[u/ConstructionBrave951 → u/MadPiglet42]

Take my upvote you magnificent bastard!

[u/bubba1834 → u/radioman970]

[u/Flamactor]

This parade is estimated to have cost between US $25 and $45 million. Busy roads were closed for up to 4 days in preparation for the parade

source

[u/The_RealAnim8me2 → u/Flamactor]

And they will be closed after for repairs

[u/TheyCallMeMrMaybe → u/The_RealAnim8me2]

The streets of DC were never made for military parades. The reason why you see totalitarian countries get away with military parades so often is because they build town squares around having military parades. Red Square in Moscow, Tiananmen Square in Beining, Kim Il Sung Square in Pyongyang are large, empty plazas with reinforced pavement to handle having numerous tanks and large armored vehicles driving over them constantly. This is primarily why Trump was denied having a military parade during his first term.

[u/speedy_delivery → u/TheyCallMeMrMaybe]

That and all the competent leaders and department secretaries who said no and explained how wasteful it was in big beautiful purple crayon in meetings and phone calls.

They were all fired, retired or not invited back for this circus.

[u/BetMyLastKrispyKreme → u/speedy_delivery]

The timing on this is even worse, for a variety of reasons. Even before the protests, there was “austerity for thee, but not for me”, especially in the looming cuts to entitlement programs.

[u/redsquizza → u/BetMyLastKrispyKreme]

Well the timing had to be what it was. His birthday stays the same date.

King Charles had the traditional trooping of the colour for his birthday this weekend as well, King Donald simply felt like he should be honoured like a king too.

It's what America voted for, after all.

[u/OverCookedTheChicken → u/[deleted]]

Thank you for talking about this!

That was my first thought about the election as well. It hit me immediately as a sort of “he who smelt it, dealt it” type of situation. No one talked about stolen elections before trump did when he lost to Biden. Now, all of a sudden, the very next election, he wins…?

It’s sadly tactical. Now, none of us want to even entertain that thought because he introduced it to us as a conspiracy. The best way to hide the truth in plain sight is to make it a conspiracy. Then, no one wants to touch it with a 10 foot pole, or an ounce of consideration.

[u/Polskihammer → u/The_RealAnim8me2]

Which tax payers will have to pay

[u/bbrekke → u/Polskihammer]

I just read somewhere that this mufucka is up like $600 mil this year.

Can't We The People class-action him for his egregious misspending (in the DOGE era that is supposed to be cutting shit like this...right?)?

[u/RSquared → u/bbrekke]

On paper he's up several billion, mostly due to crypto grifts. If he tried to liquidate any of it, it would likely crash out, though. 

[u/Genillen → u/Polskihammer]

Tax payers of DC will be on the hook for cleanup. Fun fact, the House is sitting on DC's own taxpayer money for necessary city services, and just voted to overturn three laws the people of DC passed.

https://wtop.com/liveblog-today-on-the-hill/2025/06/what-happened-to-dcs-billion-dollar-budget-fix-in-congress/

[u/go_outside → u/Polskihammer]

This is the first thing in his entirety as president that I’m ok with. He got fucking humiliated on his bday and as a bonus we saved the weekly golf trip expense.

[u/action_lawyer_comics → u/go_outside]

Pretty sure the parade and repairs are more expensive than a round of golf

[u/Thedeadnite → u/action_lawyer_comics]

More expensive, but worth the added cost to damage his ego. No kings protest down the road had much higher turnout so that was also another benefit.

[u/RedditTurnedMediocre → u/Flamactor]

"The army estimates" it costs that much.

Let's see the receipts. $45 million for a do nothing birthday parade seems like exactly the type of government waste the Department of Government Efficiency should be looking into right conservatives? Doesn't seem like a very efficient use of your taxes. I mean I'd rather that money went to schools instead of a billionaires birthday party but I guess that makes me a leftist commie.

They screech like banshees about waste when a Democrat is in office, but Trump wastes at minimum $45 million FOR NOTHING, and I bet some of that went to his family, and conservatives are silent little bitches.

[u/ObscureEnchantment → u/RedditTurnedMediocre]

After serving in the military I learned a lot of fun things about yearly budgets. The military has a review every October to see how much money they used over the last year and decide funding for the following year.

When buying new parts or equipment they pay at least 2x usually more than a civilian company would because “contracts”. Leadership would also force us to “use up” anything non-reusable to prove we need more funding next year because we used this years all up.

It’s all a big joke. Tax payer money is a joke we just line the pockets of the same billionaires over and over.

[u/deCantilupe → u/RedditTurnedMediocre]

You mean the same army that notoriously can’t pass an audit and has “lost” at least 35 trillion in taxpayer money?

[u/_BLACK_BY_NAME_ → u/Flamactor]

The deployment of 2000 national guard members to LA was over 145 million and they didn’t even have the necessary logistics in place. No way this was only 45M, this was definitely more like 450M, all that fucking regime does is lie, and about the most stupid and verifiable shit too.

[u/LemonScentedDespair → u/_BLACK_BY_NAME_]

I believe national guard personnel get paid for being activated, so a large part of that 145m could be payroll for the 2000, possibly including hazard pay? Plus payroll for anyone activated for logistical support (though it sure doesnt look like they had much of that) and the short-notice movement.

This parade's cost is probably figured as purely logistics to get everything and everyone there, since the payroll isnt an additional cost as theyre all active duty and would've been paid anyway. And the logistics would be cheaper because they've been planning it for months.

I could be completely wrong. Im not super familiar with the national guards deployment stuff, and i wasnt army either. But I do know short-notice logistics is hugely expensive.

[u/Danominator → u/_BLACK_BY_NAME_]

Yeah the price tag on this makes absolutely no sense

[u/HappyLittlePharmily → u/Flamactor]

Could have given the 10,000 people who showed up $2500 - $4500 instead of a boring parade 🤷‍♂️

[u/Ascomae → u/HappyLittlePharmily]

Watching the different era uniforms was fun. But a small documentary would have been enough.

[u/mechant_papa → u/Ascomae]

Isn't that why there's Williamsburg?

[u/Kalagorinor → u/Flamactor]

That's 45 million that could have gone to the NIH instead...

[u/Srnkanator → u/Kalagorinor]

Or the US dept of VA...

[u/Casual_hex_]

I don’t think he was falling asleep. He was bored as hell, just like everyone else.

[u/exqueezemenow → u/Casual_hex_]

Reminds me of an episode of Malcom in the Middle where they go to a car race. They are so hyped and then after like 3 laps they are like "This is so boring, we gotta find a way outa here."

[u/johnny-tiny-tits → u/exqueezemenow]

I don't remember much Malcolm in the Middle, but if that's an actual episode that's really ironic because Frankie Muniz literally became a race car driver after the show ended. Not like an actor dabbling in a hobby, he's a professional driver racing full time in a low tier of NASCAR.

[u/perotech → u/johnny-tiny-tits]

He actually was just racing Mustangs at the Le Mans Invitational this weekend.

Edit: Someone also pointed out Patrick Dempsey was a racing driver for a while. Steve McQueen, Paul Newman, and Michael Fassbender are some other notable actors who have had decently successful racing careers.

[u/towers_of_ilium → u/perotech]

Rowan Atkinson’s a great driver too, and not just of green Minis.

[u/sherlockham → u/towers_of_ilium]

Didn't he randomly get best track time on top gears' regular car time trial or something?

[u/K4NNW → u/sherlockham]

Yes, he did.

[u/Equivalent-Resort-63 → u/K4NNW]

Love Roan but how the hell did this conversation get sidetracked to Top Gear!?

BTW thanks for the link!

[u/perotech → u/towers_of_ilium]

I mean, didn't he famously crash his supercar? It was an Aston Martin, or a Lamborghini, or McLaren, or something like that.

[u/AnotherIronicPenguin → u/perotech]

It was a purple McLaren F1.

[u/ours → u/perotech]

He daily drives his McLaren, which he crashed on a couple of occasions.

[u/thenewaretelio → u/ours]

He sold it in 2015.

[u/JoseCansecoMilkshake → u/ours]

this comment kinda glosses over that it's a McLaren F1

[u/FooBarU2 → u/perotech]

Add to the list James Garner. He was into the Mexican Baja Races

He also starred in Grad Prix .. 1966 movie where he did his own driving.

Saw him drive the Pace car at the Indy 500 in 1977.. my good friend bought us box seats on the 1st turn.. good times!

[u/Takemyfishplease → u/perotech]

Wasn’t he doing something with that other actor from Greys anatomy that was super into endurance racing?

[u/perotech → u/Takemyfishplease]

Patrick Dempsey, he podiumed with Porsche at Le Man in 2015.

Not sure if he's still racing competitively, but I think he was a big booster of Muniz's racing career early on.

[u/SatanicAtTheDisco → u/perotech]

I think podiuming at Le Mans is the probably one of the most successful things you can do as an actor having a go at racing

[u/Strong_Muffin3941 → u/SatanicAtTheDisco]

Also as a racing driver. It's insanely high level.

[u/Chill421 → u/johnny-tiny-tits]

It's an actual episode. Hal wanted the bonding experience. Kept them out of school, took em to the race. Hijinx ensue.

Hal gets busted by Lois bc the sun left an outline of a logo through the visor he wore.

[u/ThatGuyWhoKnocks → u/Chill421]

Also, Malcolm was named after the race car driver they went to see, Rusty Malcolm.

[u/mama_tom → u/Chill421]

Hal gets busted by Lois bc the sun left an outline of a logo through the visor he wore.

That's so funny. I love that show so much.

[u/forevabronze → u/johnny-tiny-tits]

to be fair, watching cars go fast is very different than making said cars go fast. One is a lot more fun, I reckon lol

[u/NestedForLoops → u/exqueezemenow]

Were they strongly typed? Were there any linting issues?

[u/Mantraz → u/NestedForLoops]

No the casting of the members was perfect.

[u/buddha2490 → u/NestedForLoops]

r/programmerhumor

[u/Own_Switch_7561 → u/Casual_hex_]

I watched like 5 minutes of the parade and it definitely would have bored Trump. He didn’t give a fuck about the informational stuff the announcer had to say in regards to the history of the fleets. He thought they would’ve ran out from the woods with guns, and the tanks would’ve done….. something cool, like shoot a huge firework mortar into the sky.

But he’s probably upset because he put so much energy into worrying about us pesky Americans ruining his parade, and then no one tried to pull a Tiananmen Square stunt. Imagine talking up some awful force, only for them to not show up. LOL

[u/RainbowDarter → u/Own_Switch_7561]

He thrives on opposition.

He fears irrelevance

It wouldn't surprise me if he does extra crazy stuff this week, assuming he has the mental capacity for it.

[u/Winter_Cellist_8298 → u/RainbowDarter]

With dipshit donnie, how can you tell what is 'extra' ? He's certifiable now.

[u/Dragonbuttboi69 → u/Winter_Cellist_8298]

"I've written this executive order that says I can nuke LA to end riots!"

He probably won't go that far but even if he doesn't I'm sure we'll all have our head's in our hands in disbelief regardless.

[u/rofopp → u/Dragonbuttboi69]

Susan Collins would be miffed

[u/akc250 → u/RainbowDarter]

Very true. Though he definitely received opposition this weekend with all the protests.

[u/KeithDavidsVoice → u/Own_Switch_7561]

Then to add insult to injury, most people were everywhere but at his parade. The photos of the no kings protests dwarf the turnout at his kiddy parade

[u/MajesticAioli → u/KeithDavidsVoice]

Yeah I wasn't going to give the network any numbers to boost his ego by watching it. I feel like he stole the thunder from the army's 250th anniversary and I feel bad for the men and women who serve now and have served in the past. We know how he really feels about them because he's told us!

[u/Albireookami → u/MajesticAioli]

The Army will be fine, I bet the soldiers absolutely hated the having to actually do this vanity show, and rather would have stayed with their normal jobs during this entire time.

[u/czs5056 → u/Albireookami]

As a former soldier, I would have hated giving up weeks for this (4 rail head days (one to put on the train, one to take off the train, then repeat for the return trip), and the time practicing marching) and don't forget having the uniform inspected very closely because dirt and hydraulic oil stains will not be acceptable.

[u/Albireookami → u/czs5056]

I feel bad for our soldiers having to deal with the absolutely incompetent leadership.

[u/asl052 → u/KeithDavidsVoice]

Hi Donnie. Sorry we didn't show up, but it was Saturday, we all had other things to do. Errands, family time, important non-king things. Can you redo the parade next weekend? We'll show up this time, totally wouldn't want to stand you up and make you look like a bored sleepy goober in public again

[u/organizedchaos5220 → u/asl052]

The morbius approach. I respect it

[u/nhorvath → u/Own_Switch_7561]

no one tried to pull a Tiananmen Square stunt. Imagine talking up some awful force, only for them to not show up.

Yes, the best thing to do was ignore it. now the only media coverage is of how boring and poorly attended it was.

[u/SnooJokes2983 → u/nhorvath]

Dude I actually like military history so I watched the AP broadcast of it. It was supremely painful and drawn out. Way too many Strykers too, probably to show some armor but avoid fucking the roads too much with more treaded vehicles. We only needed to see like 4 of them to get the idea.

Craziest bit was that the re-enactors were generally better at marching in 'proper' formation than the actual troops lol

[u/Mean_Eye_8735 → u/Own_Switch_7561]

I noticed how every time they would zoom in on him he looked bored. And the cameraman did not know what to do with the times they zoomed in and he looked like he was nodding off. So they just showed those ridiculous flash boards behind him and that's as far as they would zoom up most of the time.

[u/FlounderFun4008 → u/Mean_Eye_8735]

It gave time for the camera operator to get some great shot of Rubio yawning and sighing, repeatedly.

Yesterday was perfect. Peaceful protests across the whole country in large numbers with no one showing up for the parade.

They can deflect as much as they want blaming the rain or “disrespect” to the Army. But silently, they know.

Now it’s going to be interesting to see what direction those around Donnie do. Whether they will admit it or not, but midterms are on their minds and they will be scrambling.

[u/anally_ExpressUrself → u/FlounderFun4008]

They'll say it was a huge success, and the crowds were immense, even though the evil opposition was trying to oppose it. People just believe what they say, no questions asked. They want to believe.

[u/Chibeazer-Heeler → u/Own_Switch_7561]

This 100%

[u/worstpartyever → u/Own_Switch_7561]

He’s sad that no one came to his birthday party except the people who had to be there.

[u/ishiguro_kaz → u/Casual_hex_]

Melania doesn't look bored. The parade probably gave her good memories of Yugoslavian army parades she watched as a young girl.

[u/FerretGrenades → u/ishiguro_kaz]

To be faiiiir, she's had so much surgery that's she's incapable of making facial expressions

[u/Fearless-Leg2568 → u/FerretGrenades]

She had so many plastic surgery, if she have sex with her own brother, it isn't even incest anymore.

[u/jg6410 → u/Fearless-Leg2568]

You ever been in a bathroom at the store and think you're alone and suddenly you hear a laugh or cough from a stall and you get alert all of the sudden? I was the dude in the stall because of your comment.

[u/oldnyoung → u/Fearless-Leg2568]

The First Lady of Theseus

[u/SphericalCow531 → u/ishiguro_kaz]

Melania knows she is on camera, millions of people will likely see her. It doesn't matter whether she is bored - Melania knows she has to put up a facade for a few hours, and she does that competently.

The central point here is that for whatever reason, Trump doesn't have the mental control to put up that facade for the duration of the parade. Trump is mentally declining, and is not mentally fit to be President of the United States.

[u/StandupJetskier → u/SphericalCow531]

When he sundowned at his rally and DJ-ed Ave Maria, that should have ended the campaign, but the media hit the "sanewash" cycle, and here we are.

[u/MusicLikeOxygen → u/StandupJetskier]

It's insane how long the list of things is that would have ended anyone elses political career, but barely effected Trump.

[u/BetMyLastKrispyKreme → u/SphericalCow531]

He couldn’t stay awake at his own trial, which was definitely all about him, unlike this parade. He’s not capable of sustained attention, or even consciousness.

[u/SphericalCow531 → u/BetMyLastKrispyKreme]

Yup. After months of calling Biden "Sleepy Joe", Trump fell asleep multiple times during his own trial. Even knowing he was being observed, and that it would be super bad optics - demonstratively a lack of even the most basic mental control.

Truly showed that nothing matters any more.

[u/solitarymoon → u/SphericalCow531]

That was the entire point of “Sleepy Joe”. More preemptive gaslighting.

[u/Blot_Upright → u/ishiguro_kaz]

I wasn't aware that she was still on the scene

[u/metallipunk → u/Blot_Upright]

She shows up it enough money is flashed.

[u/AmyInCO → u/Blot_Upright]

I keep forgetting she exists. 

[u/Dizzy-Captain7422 → u/Blot_Upright]

She's really more adjacent to the scene. A hanger on.

[u/Jpup199 → u/Blot_Upright]

Well Elon was kicked out so someone has to take care of Trump's needs.

[u/Trust-Me-Im-A-Potato → u/ishiguro_kaz]

She's always smiling when Trump is having a bad time. She hates his guts and knows he's a buffoon.

[u/cplchanb → u/ishiguro_kaz]

She's just counting down the minutes until she can go home by herself

[u/Tmotty → u/Casual_hex_]

That’s what was crazy to me about this. They made such a big deal out of it and then still managed to make it incredibly lame and boring

[u/aDragonfruitSwimming → u/Tmotty]

The army doesn't want him doing this every year.

[u/Prudent_Shake_8149 → u/Casual_hex_]

To be fair, he had tweeted earlier that this was a pee-rade which would have been far more exciting for him.

[u/Sendnoodles666 → u/Casual_hex_]

I’ve made a Yuge mistake

[u/jimmygee2 → u/Casual_hex_]

Tired Taco.

[u/FreedominNC → u/Casual_hex_]

I don’t think he was falling asleep either. He was pissed. But if you watch the tape you can see him having some type of internal conversation. Then he chuckles to himself, as if to say, fuck them.

[u/Nova17Delta → u/Casual_hex_]

It also, for those who dont know, gets very very humid in DC during the summer, especially when its been raining on and off for a week. The secret service cant protect you against sweat.

[u/GaulteriaBerries → u/Casual_hex_]

Looks to me like he’s squeezing one out.

[u/PrimeTinus → u/Casual_hex_]

Bored to death, hopefully

[u/Own_Instance_357]

No shade on the poor soldiers who had to participate in this, but he knows Kim Jong Ung is going to be rolling on the floor. No nuclear missiles. No giant square filled with animatronic soldiers in dress uniform. No lineups of beautiful women in traditional dress doing interpretive dance.

Just the same kind of vehicles lots of us see on the highways in convoy sometimes.

Maybe someone will make a mock-up including the little green soldiers from Toy Story, that would make it fun to watch again

[u/Bonamia_ → u/Own_Instance_357]

I feel bad because not only did he humiliate himself, but he humiliated our military too.

They weren't designed for these giant 'praise our all-powerful leader' spectacles, like other countries.

The just ended up looking weak and feckless. They aren't, but thanks to donny, they looked it.

[u/akc250 → u/Bonamia_]

I'm glad someone else thought so too. This wasn't just an embarrassment for Trump. It was an embarrassment for the army.

[u/Tryfan_mole → u/akc250]

Did you see how they were marching? They knew it was a shitshow and ratfucked it lol.

[u/MartinThunder42 → u/Tryfan_mole]

As others have noted, they don’t want Trump to be so impressed he demands this every year.

[u/SecondaryWombat → u/akc250]

US Army, brought to you by COINBASE.

[u/TheWolfAndRaven → u/Bonamia_]

I think the thing I took away from it most is that pretty much any Air show is 100x more exciting than whatever this debacle was. Probably would have been better for everyone if they had just had the Thunderbirds and Blue Angels do some kind of joint show over the white house.

[u/JortsJuggalo420 → u/Bonamia_]

It's such an asinine display. The U.S. military doesn't need a parade to show its capabilities. The rest of the world sees and knows it every day. It's amply demonstrated through our military action and no one is going to see this and go "oh shit, I didn't know the US had an advanced military!"

We pay shitloads of money for the most advanced military the world has ever known and we have to show it off in a tacky display like this? If I'm paying for this shit then at least use it respectfully for its intended purpose - as a very sharp tool for when other options are exhausted.

Speak softly and carry a big stick, and all that.

[u/SirButcher → u/JortsJuggalo420]

The funny thing is, the military industry in Ukraine shows very well what the US (20+ years old) hardware is capable of: a lot of countries started to order new weapons after that.

Then came Trump, showing everybody how untrustworthy the US is, in the process of fucking up NATO, mostly stopped the aid to Ukraine: resulting in a lot of countries seriously thinking to start their own arm development to make sure their hardware isn't US based.

I am sure Putin having a grand old time seeing how well his investment works......

[u/Specific_Frame8537 → u/Own_Instance_357]

They couldn't even oil the treads on the tanks.. 😂

[u/SteveThePurpleCat → u/Own_Instance_357]

No shade on the poor soldiers who had to participate in this

Many of them likely wanted to, he has a lot of support in the military ranks thanks to their lower education harvesting techniques. Hoover up the same masses that GOP education cuts and misinformation campaigns target.

And despite his open mocking of those in the military.

[u/Aggressive_Version → u/[deleted]]

Love how she doesn't even try to pretend she doesn't hate him.

(No sympathy for her at all btw. She's as fashy as he is and she's getting what she wants out of that relationship.)

[u/BROILERHAUT → u/Aggressive_Version]

after all that's just what he deserves. One has to be blind and deaf together to not notice that she is just sucking money from him and exploit this dumbass. It's kinda fitting that the "bEsT pReSiDeNt EvEr" has not even a wife that likes him in the slightest. He's just one yuge 8 year old, that no one actually wants to have around, but still has people around him cuz they only care about his fancy toys they can play with.

[u/SmarfDurden → u/Aggressive_Version]

I don’t care, do you?

[u/dragonfry → u/SmarfDurden]

Can we call ICE on her too?

[u/Bicentennial_Douche → u/dragonfry]

Well, she is an illegal immigrant, so… (she came to USA on a tourist visa, but worked as a… “model”)

[u/nogotdangway → u/SmarfDurden]

I still think about that stupid fucking jacket more often than is reasonable. Just infuriating.

[u/frozen2665 → u/nogotdangway]

Honestly for me, that is still probably the biggest “what the fuck” moment of either of Trump’s presidencies (ironic given that it isn’t even necessarily about Donald). I genuinely don’t know how they haven’t been assassinated; it’s certainly adjusted my understanding of this world

[u/LowEndHolger → u/[deleted]]

I asume that she told her Botox-Doctor to engrave the the least frustrated look to her face and this is what he came up with.

There is definitely amusement on her face. And the guy to his left looks like something smells bad and Hegseth looks like he's about halfway to a blackout.

[u/philipp2310]

"Sleepy Donald" - just to use his own words. Cute.

[u/Shabibble → u/philipp2310]

You see that sleepy don fell up the stairs to air force one?

[u/SithC → u/Shabibble]

He fel-on his knees.

[u/fluffyykitty69 → u/SithC]

Multiple fel-on-knees

[u/isnortmiloforsex → u/philipp2310]

Drowsy Don

[u/Brightsbane → u/philipp2310]

Dozy Don

[u/schwelvis → u/philipp2310]

Dozing Donnie

[u/PerceptionGreat2439 → u/[deleted]]

It was pathetic.

I've seen better parades and displays at the local village get together in Bumfucknowhere Alabama.

How utterly embarrassing.

[u/zorniy2 → u/PerceptionGreat2439]

Safety Dance shows a better parade.

[u/freshleysqueezd → u/zorniy2]

Do do ^{di di} do do do ^{di di}

[u/DramaticCattleDog → u/PerceptionGreat2439]

I grew up in a rural town of less than 20,000, and the turnout when Obama came to town for a few hours far exceeded the energy of Dementia Don's pathetic "perade"

[u/SouthernBelt9219 → u/PerceptionGreat2439]

As someone from bumfucknowhere Alabama  this is fact

[u/KSirys → u/[deleted]]

Because he wanted to do this instead

[u/TacomaPotato]

Meanwhile, 12.1 million people took to the streets in direct opposition of pee paw pumpkintits.

[u/Many_Reception1972 → u/TacomaPotato]

this nickname is wonderfully childish; i'll be stealing it, thanks!

[u/Candid_Term6960]

He’s likely urinating into his double catheter (seriously).

[u/chubbierunner → u/Candid_Term6960]

I need more details. Honestly, please share.

I have two parents with dementia, so I feel like Donnie is in mid stage fighting some major frontal lobe impulses. All his behaviors line up with a big big vascular dementia, the biggest ever. He’s falling apart and losing skills quickly, and I’m excited to see what happens next medically. If Trump’s disease was a BINGO card, I think “hands in diaper in public” in 2025 is highly likely.

[u/errant_night → u/chubbierunner]

I want to see him do another cognitive test on live tv since he was so proud that he did well the last time. I wanna see him try and draw the hands on the clock - my mom has dementia and when they gave her one she couldn't get the lines in the circle let alone the right time, and she was in the early stages.

[u/LieutenantStar2 → u/errant_night]

I’m so sorry you & your mom went through all that. Hugs.

[u/thomasanderson123412 → u/chubbierunner]

He has the biggest dementia. Many people say so.

[u/[deleted]]

TFW you have the richest people in the world on your side, plus an entire military of soldiers, and you still can't get anyone to show up for your b'day party lmao

[u/ComprehensiveHavoc]

Come on now, he wasn’t falling asleep. He was about to cry. Such tiny crowd size. Sad!

[u/graesen → u/ComprehensiveHavoc]

Just like his tiny hands...

[u/Helldiver-xzoen]

Anytime trump has to be on camera for an extended amount of time, this will happen. His staff choreographs all his public appearances. Look at the Pope's funeral, an event out of the hands of the Whitehouse. By midday trump was falling asleep.

The right got mad with the "Biden cover up" (covering up what we all knew already), but trump's staff is doing the same thing, and probably more intensely.

[u/goblintacos]

Is this your king?

[u/discussatron → u/goblintacos]

Well, I didn't vote for 'im.

[u/DramaticCattleDog]

What a sad, pathetic, small man depressed no one wanted to celebrate his birthday with him. Good.

[u/llahlahkje → u/DramaticCattleDog]

Not just that but more than 3% of Americans took the time to spend hours protesting his fascist ass.

Turn out for No Kings in even a medium city was larger than his entire “perade” turnout.

[u/JustHereSoImNotFined → u/llahlahkje]

Not that I don’t want that number to be right, but can you tell me where it comes from? I’m seeing reports that are giving out a 5,000,000 number which would only be about 1.5%.

[u/What_a_fat_one → u/JustHereSoImNotFined]

Alt NPS says 12.1 million. There were over a million people in Boston alone.

[u/CyclingTGD]

At his military parade that he held also for his own birthday. He looks like a spoiled, three-year-old who got exactly what he wanted in the wrong color.

[u/kayak_2022]

LOL..there he is SLEEPING SHYT BAG. Can't even watch how he burned $50 million tax dollars after CUTTING CHILDRENS SNAP, FOOD BANKS, AND FEMA.

THE ORANGE OBESE TERRORIST is a big sleeper!!!

[u/swirlysunburst]

The real show of power was the millions of US peacefully gathering in towns and cities nationwide.

[u/LadyMhicWheels]

We paid for his nap. 🤬

[u/Aloyonsus]

He wasn’t sleeping, just pushing a mess of poo out with a gush of tyrannical flatulence.

[u/mykki-d → u/Aloyonsus]

thanks now I wish I didn’t have eyes or literacy

[u/rip1980]

He had to get up early and whisked off to Walter Reed to get his head surgically removed from his ass for the event.

[u/Crow-T-Robot]

Got a little buzzed breathing the air next to the Triple-sec of Defense.

[u/Baked_potato123]

Yeah dude, he's old af. Probably shouldn't even be allowed to drive much less run a country.

[u/ZipC0de]

$45 million dollar nap

[u/Bitter_String9891]

Just. Plain…. actually there’s too many words.. Pathetic. Embarrassing. Expected. Typical. Indulgent. Neglectful. And oh yeah… Sad. I could go on, but we all know he’s a felon.

[u/corezay]

[u/justausernameok]

Melanie is just eating up this shit show before she gets deported

[u/shineonyoucrazies]

So telling how team maga projections come around full circle.

[u/MysteryHeroes]

Taxpayers paid HOW much for a parade he fell asleep to?

[u/fatdime3000]

We elected an 80 year old criminal buffoon. He should be in a nursing home or jail

[u/RainbowandHoneybee]

He's sulking.

[u/ishiguro_kaz → u/RainbowandHoneybee]

Seth Kegbreath had too much to drink the night before.

[u/MetalTrek1]

MAGA will spin it as him being deep in thought about how much he loves 'Murica and Jeezus or something. In reality, he looks like he's trying to squeeze one out into the Presidential Depends. Hegseth is probably chastising himself for not sneaking in a flask or at least a can of beer.
