It never ends - Trump continues to do satirists' jobs for them

· Braindump

From the scrapbook of “this must be an Onion article; oh no turns out it isn’t”:

Trump renames V-E day -aka Victory in Europe day, the commemoration of the end of World War 2 - “Victory Day for World War II” because he doesn’t like how the word “Europe” features in the original. Presumably he doesn’t understand the word “in” either.

Part of his reasoning is apparently America basically won it on its own. And isn’t military or jingoistic or obsessed with itself enough just yet.

We won both Wars, nobody was close to us in terms of strength, bravery, or military brilliance, but we never celebrate anything,

Veteran’s Day also also to be known as the far less comprehensive and catchy name “Victory Day for World War I”.

He then reflects that the US Declaration of Independence is “is a declaration of unity and love”. Of course it is in fact the opposite - a declaration of…umm…independence; the separation of the United States from English rule.

Next up, following the death of the pope, Trump’s White House shares an AI generated picture of himself dressed as the pope. Yes, it seems he wants to be the pope. He’s not Catholic of course nor a cardinal but hey, he is Trump and pope sounds important and fancy and comes with a residence full of expensive things.

AI generation image of Trump wearing papal robes and a mitre is sitting on an ornate chair, holding one hand up.

Finally for today, a confirmation that he believes that the letters annotating the tattoo of Abrego Garcia’s hand that he is claiming is evidence of his affiliation with the gang MS-13 are literally real. As in that the labels actually appear on the guy’s hand rather than being obviously superimposed typed-on annotations of the actual photo. Or as Gizmodo put it: Trump Really Believes His Fake ‘MS-13 Tattoo’ Photo Is Real

Auto-generated description: A person is holding a printed photograph of a hand with knuckle tattoos labeled M, S, 1, 3, and various symbols.

In case you too can’t process visual images in a rational way, it has been confirmed that the letters are annotations. Not to mention that “There was no clear evidence the symbols on Abrego Garcia’s fingers proved an affiliation with MS-13”.

The annotations also don’t appear on any other photographs of Abrego Garcia.
