In August of 2017, Trump referred to “many fine people on both sides” over Charlottesville. Eight years later he can finally stop hiding behind dog whistles and just come right out and show who he is.

I’m expecting him to announce the US has a new flag, his Trump version of the stars and stripes.

So what if a few stripes are covered up. There has to be room for Trump’s name.

And of course Republicans, who claim to revere the American flag, would violate the U.S. Flag Code for the Dear Leader (Sec. 8g: “The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature”).

Oddly, even his name is partially obscured, by some kind of loupe-evoking device. And in the loupe? What appears to be the colors of the German flag. WTELF?

That’s supposed to be a close-up of what the grommets look like on the flag. See here.

The reason why it’s positioned like that is to cover up the “Trump” name. Probably for legal purposes. Here is another photo where it fades to obscure part of the name.

[![](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/S/aplus-media-library-service-media/a5ec966c-e322-46da-9d1e-2b9000cbbb08. __CR0,0,970,600_PT0_SX970_V1___.jpg) ](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/S/aplus-media-library-service-media/a5ec966c-e322-46da-9d1e-2b9000cbbb08. __CR0,0,970,600_PT0_SX970_V1___.jpg)

They also repeatedly misspell his name as “Tump” multiple times in the item description. (Though the name appears in full in the name of the product on the page.) Oh, and the “color” is listed as “God Guns and Trum Flag”.

Yup. Lets represent patriotism by showing the most common gun of the countries that are hostile/oppose us. Brilliant.

And the eagle looks like a cloning experiment that went horribly wrong. No wonder it’s so angry

These people are not the sharpest bulb in the drawer (taken from a Trump speech)

Good catch. They don’t know that Germany is now quite good. Let’s not boil that pot again though.

It has been hugely better than it was, but Germany and its neighbors are are struggling with AfD, _et al_. It is conceivable that our retroscum believe that they can marshal the retroscum to their cause in a worldwide movement toward the last chapter of _The Turner Diaries_.

Are the guns pointing directly at the eagle’s head, or is that just my eyes?

He continues to piss me off by his constant assault on the border. The border between reality and parody. Someone named Amee Vanderpool posted on one of those fediverse sites (like on the Mastodon network) an ad that she claimed to have found on CraigsList:

> [@FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT LLC](#):
>
> _T-Mellon Events is looking for seat fillers and extras to provide their time for space maximization and attendance perception for an event taking place in Washington DC on June 14th. Extras and Seat fillers will check in on the morning of June 14th at 9:00 a.m.  
> Extras are required to wear Red, White and Blue clothing and will be provided a RED hat to wear. GOLD accessories are acceptable as well. The team will advise the extras where to stand or sit according to the line of sight from a VIP viewing platform arca.  
> Extras and Seat fillers will be paid a flat daily fee and will be provided a lunch of fast food and soda.  
> We encourage people of color and ethnic groups to sign up for maximum perception control and these individuals will be prominently displayed on the televised broadcast and local viewing screens to be seen by the VIP platform._

Parts of it obviously point to it being a fake ad. The specifics about dress and about crowd configuration make it look like someone was merely describing what we should expect the event to look like while taking a jab at Felon-ONE.  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; There is an additional bit of text under a DC map graphic,

> [@](#):
>
> _Compensation: Flat Fee of $1,000, paid  
> in cryptocurrency - Provided by FIGHT  
> FIGHT FIGHT LLC_

which supports the parody interpretation.
