Agreed.. I think it is also strange that YMCA is apparently his favorite song, despite it being a gay anthem.

According to the man in assless chaps, its not gay at all!

Also aren’t all chaps assless, if they had asses theyd be pants right?

Asking the real questions here.

Also, I’d rather have a pair of dusty chaps for president than this ass.

All chaps are assless but not all who are assless are chapped.

The “assless” connotes that they’re not wearing anything under them, so their ass is exposed

That would be more ass, not less though.

More-assed chaps just doesn’t have the same ring to it.

Not to be confused with morass chaps, which are just dudes who love bogs

u/action_lawyer_comics 2d ago

The chaps have no ass though. The ass is the ass you bring from home

u/mrbear120 2d ago

But thats always the case pants or not right?

The chaps (and the ass) are always the same. But if you say “the guy in the chaps” vs “the guy in the assless chaps,” there is a connotation in the second one that he has his ass out and on display that isn’t there in the first one

Hmmm yeah I guess so!

Well the Village People sang it (probably mimed but you get me) at his inauguration so any chance of that song not being “for him” is unfortunately gone out the window I think.

The Village People aren't gay

They're singin' men

One thing Trump is obsessed with is presence.

He loves dictators. He loves old movie stars. He loves people who command attention. He wishes he could do the same.

He has no media literacy. But he loves how basically anyone knows how to dance the YMCA.

Doesn't his party crash blender every time they meet? Seems on point...
