Just a short note on the status of the Cult of The Donald. According to Jason Weisberger:
Members of Trump's cabinet, as well as Congresspeople and Senators, are being instructed to wear a tribute to their inglorious, convicted felon leader.
Substacker Dean Blundell shares a post from social media in which the new FCC Chairman is sporting not a US Flag but a gleaming golden bust of Donald Trump. Purportedly, these lapel pins are popping up around Washington, D.C. It is a pretty big ask for elected members of Congress not to wear their respective lapel badges; they all seem quite proud of them.
I apologize for the image, but you have to see the Trump loyalty pin to believe it.
Drew Pavlou put it in perspective:
A few questions. How much is he charging for the pin? $100? $250? I mean, the Grift is the Grift, after all. Is that real gold or gilt sprayed on like his tan? And finally, shouldn’t the loyal lickspittles truly wanting to demonstrate their cultish allegiance never appear in public without a copy of Quotations from The Donald the way Maoists carried the Chinese leader’s Little Red Book half a century ago?
I do not have the credentials to make mental health diagnoses, but I’m nevertheless wondering who is more out of their mind: Trump or the people who wear this wanton display of cringe.
