Please don’t upset mother.

I feel this image up top…yes, I’m the mama.

It is by a Canadian artist:

I’ve got a few things to share with you.

Reporter: Mr. President, this plane does not have antimissile defense systems on it. Why are you flying it?Trump: Well, it has — it has a lot, you know it has a lot of capability, but as I understand it, in about a month or so, they're going to send it to have it be, uh, maxed out.

    Everything Orange Caligula says is either a lie or conspiracy theory he’s repeated for ever or complete gibberish.

    He needs to go.

    White House Posts Donald Trump-Centered Photos After FIFA World Cup Crop

    Devanshi Basu

    The White House has pushed back against FIFA’s apparent decision to crop Donald Trump out of Spain’s official World Cup celebration photos. It came just hours after photos shared by football’s governing body showed Spain’s team lifting the trophy with the president visibly missing from the frame. In response, the White House published its own selection of pictures, with Trump at the centre of the action.White House posted Donald Trump’s photo with Spain football team

    On Monday afternoon, the White House shared six photographs from the World Cup final across its social media channels. All six images prominently feature the president. Two of the pictures show Trump as the only person in focus. Meanwhile, just two of the six actually include members of Spain’s football squad.

    The posts followed a series of Spain’s celebration photos from FIFA’s official accounts that were cropped to exclude Donald Trump. One photo capturing Spain’s players leaping in celebration shows only the edge of the president’s navy suit in one corner. The Spanish team’s own Instagram account also shared a triumphant photo immediately after the match that did not include Trump. Nor did a 20-slide post published later that evening featuring different players holding the trophy.

    The cropping was already teased during a hot mic moment. Australian commentator Claudio Fabiano was caught on a hot mic during the broadcast saying, “They can edit him out of that.” This came as Trump and FIFA President Gianni Infantino stood near the celebrating Spanish side. After all, the trophy presentation itself was awkward.

    The moment has been described as uncomfortable. Infantino apparently attempted to guide Trump away from the team as they lifted the trophy and confetti cannons fired. Before that, when Trump and Infantino appeared on screen and entered the field, they were met with audible boos from the crowd at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

      When Trump was hanging medals on the team, he tried to pocket one of them. The player went back and he was forced to put it on him. He’s also pick pocketed a trophy before from FIFA. My guess is that Infintino was trying to prevent another episode of Orange Caligula pocketing another shiny object as people with advanced dementia are known to do. He’s done it with other shiny objects during ceremonies too.

        From Google’s AI (sigh)

        Donald Trump’s affinity for shiny and gilded objects has sparked several notable, highly-publicized moments where he either acquired specific items or surrounded himself with flashy decorations. [1, 2]

        These instances have ranged from ceremonial events to his interior design choices:

        • Pockets Ceremony Scissors: Trump made headlines after he was caught on camera slipping a pair of shiny, gold ceremonial scissors into his suit pocket during a ribbon-cutting ceremony. [1]
        • World Cup Trophy: During an appearance at the World Cup, Trump caught the attention of spectators by keeping and pocketing a special medal and the Club World Cup trophy shown to him by FIFA President Gianni Infantino. [1]
        • Oval Office Decor: Trump has outfitted the White House with a maximalist, “gilded” aesthetic. Extensive reporting notes he personally applied gold appliqués and shiny trinkets to the walls and fireplace mantel in the Oval Office. [1, 2]
        • Economic Policy “Shiny Object Syndrome”: Critics and political analysts often use “shiny object syndrome” to describe how high-profile, glamorous, or flashy projects easily draw his immediate focus, sometimes derailing more standard policy discussions. [1]
