That’s pretty much the Trump voter profile, no? It almost describes Trump himself. ---

Phrasing is probably accurate though. I assume this was Rudy’s attempt at trying to keep his Manhattan home and allow Trump to do what he wants there. I almost feel bad for Rudy. He’s one of the few wealthy Trump enablers to get their comeuppance. It appears Trump never will. ---

Anyone wondering who the “real fascists” are that are supporting Trump? There’s your poster boy right there. That asshole would have been fighting for the for the confederacy 160 years ago and there’s a fairly good chance he’s got a white bedsheet with eye holes cut out for his weekend get togethers. ---

To those not familiar with such things, “[Jim’ll Fix It](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim%27ll_Fix_It)” was a slogan and show associated with the late and definitely unlamented [Jimmy Savile](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Savile).

It’s Bluesky, not X, if that helps at all. The picture is Trump photoshopped into the full Jimmy Savile tracksuit, cigar and long limp locks look. The podium reads “Trump Will Fix It”, which is what it actually said at the MSG event. And the post reads “So Mr Trump, what aspect of the nightmare, necrophiliac, paedophile, rapist appealed to you the most for you to adopt his slogan?” ETA: For those luckily unfamiliar with the story of Savile, the description “necrophiliac paedophile rapist” is **not** an exaggeration.
