Today, he’s pissing me off by inspiring fanatical hero worship among his followers. In different posts on Xwitter, he’s been ( **Trigger Warning:** the following images may result in extreme laughter, or your eyes rolling so far back in your head that they become stuck there, proving your mother right) celebrated as: [Batman](https://imgur.com/a/3JlBF0t) [Superman](https://imgur.com/a/wKTTnmQ) [Captain America](https://imgur.com/a/oddnb7x) [With Frederick Douglass](https://imgur.com/a/iHrG18B) [With Mother Theresa](https://imgur.com/a/HtKstSs) [A knight](https://imgur.com/a/nRJLs9i), and [Reading the Bible while Jesus looks on.](https://imgur.com/a/GHsHtrB) That’s as many as I could stomach in one sitting. My phone is now mad at me for saving all those photos so that I could upload them to Imgur. ---

Well, the association with Mother Theresa is appropriate: she loved dictators, took money under false pretenses, and caused untold suffering while claiming to do the opposite. ---

So long as you can find a [bigger fool,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_fool_theory) they are a good investment, and there are lots of really big fools around. However the thing you need to remember is that at the time you buy them you are the current biggest fool. ---

Because he said on television on one of the – ‘I love Donald Trump.’ So I love him. I love him. I love him. He said that a long time ago and once he said that, he was in my camp, I was in his camp. I don’t care if he was the worst actor, I’d say he was great to me.” Of course neither the character, AFAIK, nor any of those who portrayed him have said such a thing. ---

> [@slicedalone](#): > > I just got back from your part of the world (fishing trip in Salida) and I was appalled by the pro-Trump displays I saw everywhere I went. Not surprised, just disgusted. I’m rather surprised by Salida. I live right on the border between a red county and a blue county. I’ve not seen so much as a MAGA hat in the blue county. I’ve only seen a few in the red county. ---

It was more the US flags flying everywhere on the way to Salida than the MAGA hats in Salida itself. The town seemed like a nice place. ---

It’s just conceivable that Hopkins was on a talk show in the era when Trump was known primarily for _The Apprentice_ and said he loved the show or something, that’s all I can imagine? Trying to ferret out the obscure origin of Trump’s addled lies is a full time job. ---

> [@slicedalone](#): > > It was more the US flags flying everywhere on the way to Salida… I believe you jumped to conclusions. American flags _per se_ not automatically considered a sign of trump/MAGA support. I hate to think the MAGAts have co-opted the flag and now own it. In fact, I don’t believe they have. The American flag is still the flag of the whole country. ---

> [@ThelmaLou](#): > > American flags _per se_ not automatically considered a sign of trump/MAGA support I rode past several properties on the way to Salida flying–no shit–20 or 30 US flags, often accompanied by TRUMP 2024 or TRUMP 2020 or TRUMP WON signs.
