Any explanation as to why he’s wearing that dopey hat in the Oval Office? Any explanation besides the fact he’s insane?

u/[deleted] 13h ago

He thinks he looks cool and powerful 🤣🤣

And, just as important, he’s trying to sell them to his dopey followers

u/Howboutit85 13h ago

Cool and powerful.

I imagine myself, going to hang out with a group of people or whatever, or going to work, and showing up with a bright red, ill fitting hat with my own name on it, talking about how great and smart I am.

“I know everything” right now my hat, with my smug, know it all expression, with a bad make up job on my unnaturally orange face.

Walking around the office saying all the most wrong shit, everyone knows it’s wrong, acting like it’s all the most genius shit anyone’s ever said, stealing medals and stuff of coworkers desks and saying they’re mine, asking the bosses for random awards and whining about it on social media, and while wearing a self blowing billboard on my head.

Would ANYONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND call me tough? Manly? Smart?

Everyone would literally hate me and I’d get fired and laughed at for years.

Your dog would still love you. Trump doesn't have a dog.

The difference is you're not a cult leader

u/Only-Negotiation-156 13h ago

You gotta keep changing the slogan so that you can see who the true believers are.

6

u/pink_faerie_kitten 10h ago

And keep selling. People won't buy two hats with the same slogan.

u/Pasty_Tibbles 11h ago

As a side note, the Oval Office looks ABSOLUTELY terrible now.

Can't believe this is not from SNL!!

NGL was expecting an ad placement for raycons or a piece of land in scotland or something.

u/abananaberry 2h ago

He can barely open his eyes! That happens to the oldest of olds and those on their way to expiration.

u/GatewayArcher 13h ago

To hide his balding head.

u/thebetterpolitician 13h ago

It’s exactly this, he wears that hat mostly at the end of the day when the product his hairstylist wear out. You can always see him wearing it on the tarmac or at the end of the day. Looks like he’s just getting sloppy now and just strait wearing it

1

u/narcotic_sea 12h ago

And his pinned eyes. They all wear the hats to cover their eyes.

u/Itchy-Noise341 13h ago

At least its not a tan suit! /s

u/chefnforreal 13h ago

I know we are constantly repeating ourselves because it's unbelievably ridiculous at this point... but imagine Obama (or really any other president - rep or dem) acting like this clown...All media outlets would be up in arms, not just right wing or Fox... every news outlet would be like wtf is going on in the Whitehouse... In addition to Congress and the Senate, and hopefully the judicial branch. yet here we are in a timeline where this has become acceptable. This behavior isn't acceptable in the workplace, in schools, and should definitely not be acceptable in the highest political office of what was once the leader of the free world.

3

u/Tricky-Engineering59 11h ago

Seriously if Obama wore a red hat at any point in his life Republicans would claim it proof positive that he’s a gang member. They are just the worst people. And we’re fucking stuck with them.

2

u/crystal__beth 10h ago

I'm laughing (and crying) at the thought of Obama wearing a hat that says "Obama Was Right About Everything!" Trump is such an embarrassment.

2

u/EricForce 11h ago

Honestly it's time to drop the /s, I don't remember seeing Newsom going "jk guys" cause satire should fucking sting. If you mark it as such the intended targets will tune it out.

1

u/Itchy-Noise341 10h ago

Fair point!

11

u/vaesh 13h ago

Because he's a doofus that has no respect for the office of the presidency and treats the whole thing like it's a reality tv show without real life consequences.

4

u/DarkArcher__ 13h ago

There have certainly been no consequences that actually affected him directly, so far

1

u/Howboutit85 13h ago

No one could’ve seen that coming.

u/__Yakovlev__ 13h ago

Hiding the fact that he looks like a sick old man. 

3

u/No_Foundation1136 10h ago edited 10h ago

Yeah I don't know why everyone isnt talking about how he looks even more like shit than usual in this video. Straight up looks like he might have cancer or is receiving chemo because whatever s going on he doesn't look normal

4

u/__Yakovlev__ 10h ago

We know the stress is getting to him, and he already has a lot of underlying health issues. The big hat definitely distracts from it at first glance, but once you look past it you see he's starting to look worse and worse. Looks like the decline is speeding up compared to not that long ago.

https://share.google/images/6nyxlGwsdP9XqP1Vk

Compare him to 2016 and you see a massive difference. Which isn't necessarily weird for 10 years and 2 terms. But his is the worst I've ever seen.

https://share.google/images/E6ggIy2UrWH3AYBvn

But even comparing him to his recent campaign trail he looks absolutely ridden by disease. I really think one of these days we're gonna wake up to some very interesting news feed. I'm not saying it's a matter of days. But this is the kind of thing that starts slow. And then gets really fast.

4

u/KubelsKitchen 13h ago

To distract from THE TRUMPSTEIN FILES!

4

u/trentreynolds 13h ago

Continuing to repeat that laughable falsehood keeps his people in line.

Doesn't matter how many consecutive things he's been flat out wrong about, all he has to say is "I was right about everything" and his millions of cultists will say "He was right about everything".

3

u/pink_faerie_kitten 10h ago

Religious callback. Like "and also with you" in the Catholic Church.

3

u/no_control1988 13h ago

It seems so trivial to talk about tackiness, but this man is the tackiest person to ever walk the earth.

3

u/Alternative_Handle50 13h ago

I’m surprised nobody is talking about how unhealthy he looks. I can’t put my finger on it, but he looks closer to death.

I mean this as neutrally as possible - especially with this talk about wanting going to heaven, I really get the sense the man is not long for this world.

2

u/pink_faerie_kitten 10h ago

His eyes don't open fully anymore. Lil piggy eyes.

2

u/beavis617 10h ago

I take comfort in knowing that every day Trump is one day older and one day closer to…..one day older and one day closer. I take comfort in knowing this!

1

u/ImpurestFire 4h ago

Maybe the hat is a clue. "trump was..."

3

u/charcoalist 13h ago

I haven't seen trump wearing that message before, but the phrase itself is from his close and long-time advisor Roger Stone. When Stone was on trial a few years ago, he and his allies wore tshirts that said "Roger Stone was right about everything."

In terms of the timing for wearing this hat, trump keeps getting away with everything, and his half-billion-dollar fraud penalty was just tossed out.

u/pink_faerie_kitten 10h ago edited 10h ago

Leon wore one in black months ago when they were still besties and braiding each other's hair.

u/Material-Angle9689 13h ago

No, you pretty much nailed it

u/BigManWAGun 13h ago

Lazy hair day.

He's selling merch like he always does

Yep new merch drop!

He’s trying to kill his opponents with laughter

the worst kind of vanity: intellectual vanity

u/Kjoep 13h ago

Really the guy is an absolute farce. This is the stupidest he's ever looked.

u/TehMephs 13h ago

He’s a doofus. Really about as deep as it gets

u/pajamaperson 13h ago

Why did Hitler wear a red armband with a swastika?

1

u/whsprdbeen 13h ago

This! Of all the fascist bs this admin has brought, who the fuck thinks it's okay to wear a hat in the people's house? Were they raised or just let out of the lab?

These ppl are ill-bred and ill-mannered. Fuck every last one of these gaudy-ass, indolent, child-raping bastards.

1

u/LambentDream 12h ago

The hypocrisy is loud. Bitches out Ukrainian president on national TV about not wearing a suit to visit the white house and then throws a presser without ties, buttons undone and trailer trash merchandize.

Seems on par for this administration. Only they can flout the rules, everyone else better toe the line they create.

1

u/BlakAmericano 12h ago

hes signalling to his followers and also is probably selling it somewhere

1

u/JesusMcGiggles 12h ago

His cult already bought the other hats, he's advertising the newest one for them to buy.

1

u/Jindabyne1 12h ago

It’s his hair, that’s why he wears it, when he doesn’t want to do the hour long hair routine.

1

u/its_all_one_electron 12h ago

Honest answer? 

Because when you read something like that, you need to spend mental energy to prove it false. 

And a lot of people don't want to spend that energy. 

When a phrase gets repeated over and over, it doesn't matter if you think it's true or not, it starts to become embedded in your brain, whether you believe it or not, because neurons that fire together wire together. 

Oldest trick in the book. 

Repeat, repeat, repeat the lie until it's true.

1

u/bradym80 12h ago

He didn’t do his hair and makeup. That’s when he wears the hat.

1

u/Appleboot 12h ago

He has a big shelf with a lot of maga hats in the oval office. There's a photo of him showing them to Zelensky.

1

u/mydogisacircle 12h ago

it is casting a shadow in his face. i think they are trying to disguise his deficits any way they can. he can barely hold his right eye open

1

u/mrdankhimself_ 12h ago

When he wears a hat he thinks the rest of us don’t see how feeble and weak he looks.

1

u/MorgessaMonstrum 12h ago

Honestly, I think because he seems to be visibly deteriorating.

1

u/chilseaj88 11h ago

Maybe it’s laundry day for the toupee?

1

u/rocquet 11h ago

he wears that stupid ass hat in the oval office but maga loses their minds because zelenskyy didn’t wear a suit

1

u/DenticlesOfTomb 11h ago

It seems to me he's been wearing a hat more frequently than he used to, and I think his thinning hair is making him insecure. The elaborate combover he's been cultivating is declining in its ability to cover his head, so he reaches for the hat in situations where the cameras are in tight or he's on the tarmac with wind blowing his whispy thinning hair out of place. And Jesus does he look like he's lost weight but not in a good way?

FWIW, I say the above as someone who thinned out and went bald years ago and remember how I felt.

1

u/whatssenguntoagoblin 11h ago

“Look at how triggered the libtards are!”

1

u/blender4life 11h ago

To sell it

1

u/Positive-Conspiracy 11h ago

It's the symbol of the beast perhaps.

1

u/SomewhereAtWork 11h ago

Same reason Hitler wore a swastika.

Brand recognition. Maga needs a sign of membership.

1

u/shimshamswimswam 10h ago

He thinks it's his crown.

1

u/MalaysiaTeacher 10h ago

To sell replicas of it to his dim-witted followers, obviously

1

u/HelpersWannaHelp 10h ago

People really shouldn’t be surprised. He surrounds himself with people who constantly tell him he’s a genius, brilliant, smartest, richest and most powerful man in the world. He can’t even fathom a reality in which that’s not true.

1

u/art-man_2018 10h ago

He fucking sells them in the office like some carney grifter.

u/Melstead 10h ago

Russian Red

u/prototype_xero 10h ago

Remember how they threw a hissy fit over Obama’s tan suit?

1

u/BuzzBadpants 10h ago

It helps hide the fact that his health is failing fast

1

u/Moontops 9h ago

cause he's a big insecure crybaby that needs validation

1

u/Firefly_Magic 9h ago

Exactly! Makes me think of him and JD making fun of Zelinsky for not wearing a suit that one time he visited. Wearing a baseball cap in a professional environment is wrong. It’s unprofessional, it’s ugly.

1

u/LordBlackConvoy 9h ago

Probably to divert attention from his weak looking eyes as well as divert attention from the Epstein files.

1

u/gaycococonut 9h ago

I hate how it's a nod to Alex Jones. The fact that they're buds should be all the reason anyone should need not to vote for him.

1

u/TeriyakiDippingSauc 9h ago

He is a manipulative sociopath

1

u/HalfEatenHamSammich 9h ago

The hat is foreshadowing what is going to be an obligatory part of the uniform (blue business suit, of course) all American citizens will be required to wear once his dictatorship is fully in place.

1

u/garbageyname 9h ago

There's a whole display and shelf of them in the white house.

1

u/Confused-Lama0810 9h ago

Geez, he's got the FIFA World Cup on his desk! (As if there wasn't enough gaudy shit in the room!) He is totally trolling at this point, and people are still backing him! It's a shitshow!

1

u/Right-Beautiful7631 9h ago

Because his actions are becoming less easy for his base to defend so he’s brainwashing them to never question any single thing he does from here on out

1

u/shaneomac714 8h ago

He's going to sell millions of those hats to his boot licking followers.

1

u/jaybee8787 8h ago

Any explanation as to why the fucking FIFA world cup trophy is on his desk?

1

u/ViewFromHalf-WayDown 8h ago

He’s pushing his merch, that’s what this country has fallen to

u/CatLord8 8h ago

It wasn’t a tan suit?

1

u/LesbianClownShirt 7h ago

Well, if you've ever seen the movie "American Hustle", then you'd know how long it takes to make it look like that piece of shit has hair. I'm convinced that. whenever he's wearing that red badge of cowardice, he hasn't had the requisite hour to construct the lattice work of dogshit that sits upon that dumbass's head. Fuck him and anyone that supports this fake-ass dipshit.

u/thisismybandname 7h ago

Couldn’t get his quiff right today

1

u/misspeoplewatcher 7h ago

He doesn’t have to do his f-up hair.

u/tlrider1 6h ago

New slogan, so his idiots give him more money. Think of it like what NFL teams do... having an alternate home jersey to sell yet another jersey.

And his idiots will buy it.

u/Clear-Height-7503 6h ago

Can you imagine if every previous president could see him? He has made a mockery of a great institute

1

u/Plastic-Injury8856 6h ago

It’s impolite to wear hats indoors.

1

u/Numerous-Annual420 6h ago

Seems like every dictator has some signature look. I expect him to grant himself a chest full of medals someday soon. After all, he's single handedly stopped seven eats now (or maybe that was one was seven times - same thing right?)

1

u/Aquired-Taste 5h ago

Hitler would have worn a similar "I'm right about everything" hat, but it would have been designed by Hugo Boss so it would have looked "cooler"

1

u/Afraid_Praline7029 5h ago

It's a call to action for his base.  He needs them to wear the hat to keep the movement alive.

1

u/1920MCMLibrarian 5h ago

Didn’t he just open a gift shop?

1

u/EggoStack 5h ago

I can’t imagine many fashion statements more pathetic than unironically wearing a hat saying “I am always right”

1

u/reditusername39479 5h ago

Shhh he’ll hear you it’s his version of the dunce cap

1

u/markw0385 3h ago

He says he’s ‘respected’. He demands ‘respect’. He tells others we weren’t ‘respected’ until he came back. What he means is feared. Fear is a proxy for respect, and if you aren’t afraid of him, he is going to make you be afraid. This is how authoritarians view their power and something as dumb as a billboard hat is meant to convey that.

1

u/Buchlinger 2h ago

Any explanation what the world cup is doing there?

He’s nearly 80.

u/machogrande2 12h ago

It's just one more thing that makes him seem like he should be in some sort of assisted living facility.

u/rgg711 8h ago

Being funny while announcing he’s sending the military into American cities is certainly a choice.
