Absolute class

As much as I wouldn't put it past him, I'm more than half sure this is just some method to skim supporter data for later use with fundraising and campaign strategizing. Someone probably decided they'd have better luck asking people to send Trump a birthday card than they would just asking them to join a mailing list. (Or at least that the two approaches would get different sets of people to sign up.)

[Mephisto]

They use multiple channels of communication. I have since lost the pics in the flood of info over the past couple of days but I'm aware of a SMS blast referring to supporters as "Trump's Army" and an email blast saying you can get an exclusive camo MAGA hat if you donate.

Tangentially related, and linking a third party because I shudder linking the account itself,

This is terrifying. Get the creature in charge's attention in a way it doesn't like? On to the unofficial hit list with you.

Trump is an expert on pushing old people, I trust his opinion on the matter

[voliol]

So, this kinda sorta belongs here...

Youtube has been awash in really bad adverts for sending Trump a happy birthday, via a text message (no shit), lately.

Given that it (the advert) claims to be produced by Trump's PAC, *AND* there is an official (looking at least?) website for this very purpose as well..

I think Herr Trump is very much trying to stoke his own ego, after the crippling blows to it his negative optics stunt with that bible surely delivered to it.


It is very alarming and sad that our president cares so fucking much about his own damn ego.

Is he... trying to get deified? I’m thinking of Christmas and Janmashtami (and Vesak, but Buddha isn’t strictly a god to Buddhists). Or perhaps he is following the example of other countries’ royalist factions.

His expertise actually speaks against him; clearly the way you improve at pushing old people is by learning how to lie your way out of it.

Every time republicans insist that leftist protestors are Antifa, Antifa grows more powerful.

Presented without comment.

I'm really curious if Trump realizes that the three largest Antifa organizations are the US Army, Navy, and Air Force.

(I know that they aren't exactly socialist bastions, but that's not what Antifa is-- it's killin' nazis.

This is how you destroy a country, or destroy yourself.

Well he is the country remember, so this is how he destroys himself. (And the rest of us along with him.)

Well, it's what the name says, but they also lean towards anarcho-socialism, which is at odds with the power structure the armed forces are sworn to protect.

US Army, Navy, and Air Force.

They and Congress are the only people in the US with socialized medicine, and are also the only ones with socialized housing.

[delphonso]

To Trump and his followers, Antifa doesn't mean anti fascist - it means...*shrug* anything they currently don't like?

Remember that in the US, communism means fascism/tyranny. And socialism means totalitarian state.

[TamerVirus]

Antifa means those people who dress all in black, throw things, light fires and cause trouble?

...Ninjas!?!
