I really hope this won't become some sort of tradition now

Hide-the-pain Trump?

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 9 points 15 hours ago

A propaganda boy, and in more than one sense.

The next four years are going to be very interesting to watch. If the first try was disastrous, the second is poised to be even worst.

America, you were once a country that could muster respect.

I'm a "no, Pepsi isn't ok" guy, but I'm never drinking Coke again. Because from now on it tastes like kissing Trump's ass.

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 6 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, gave up Pepsi over their continued involvement in Russia, now I'm giving up Coke over their involvement with a Russian stooge.

I'm at RC right now.

Do yourself a favor and drink water instead. Your teeth and testicles will thank you

[–] P4ulin_Kbana@lemmy.eco.br 1 points 9 hours ago

I second this.

[–] xorollo@leminal.space 24 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Wow he looks bad. Did he lose a bunch of weight? He looks frail. And a lot older.

Celebratory cocaine

[–] TheBraveSirRobbin@lemmy.world 9 points 23 hours ago (3 children)

I hope he's ok for 2-3ish years. Vance having a real chance at 10 years as POTUS is terrifying

[–] PresidentCamacho@lemm.ee 14 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (1 children)

I was about to say "Vance is such a weak personality he could never be elected" and then i remembered how useless the Dems are so who fucking knows.

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 11 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (1 children)

He's guaranteed because the Republican-led states will make sure he gets their EC votes regardless of how the populace actually votes. There will be nothing to stop them any more.

[–] PresidentCamacho@lemm.ee 6 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

I think the country is fucked as well, but I don't think the gop can deliver the cuop de grace to democracy in the US in a single presidential term.

Personally I think it's a matter of time before there is an uprising from the citizens, it won't matter who runs the government when capitalism finally catches up to the majority of the population, you can't believe in bootstraps when every person you know is living paycheck to paycheck.

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 6 points 21 hours ago

Vance doesn't have any charisma, though.

Lol morons paying this dude a million and Coke comes in with a 5 dollar commemorative.

[–] Etterra 12 points 22 hours ago

Marketing rule #1, know your market. Note that you don't need to actually need to have taken marketing classes to know this. So congratulations on doing what anyone with more than two brain cells could figure out, ya rich CEO jackass.

Diet Coke tastes like shit

[–] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 79 points 1 day ago (3 children)

It was a lot of people's jobs for months now creating some special bottle and box for this PR moment... none of this should exist. It reminds me of stories about the Middle Ages, where people would come before the king and shower them with gifts to make sure they are appeased.

[–] Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 20 hours ago

Apparently Coke does this shit for every presidential elecrion and governors too but this is the only time it was diet and hand delivered by the ceo.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

A graphic designer could whip that up after lunch.

Everyone is lining up to kiss his puckered arsehole.

He'll need a NASCAR type jacket, featuring all of his sponsors. I just can't keep up anymore.

[–] inv3r5ion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 44 points 1 day ago (6 children)

We need that for all the politicians. Only a tiny handful would have blank jackets.

[–] maccentric@sh.itjust.works 2 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (1 children)

This would be a good use case for AR—just slip on your glasses and see all their sponsors’ logos adjusted to scale according to the size of their ~~bribe~~ donations

[–] inv3r5ion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 15 hours ago

If the plebes have to wear a uniform to their minimum wage drug tested job so should our elites

He has the most insincere smile ever. It would be hard to make a real person appear more cartoonishly evil.

[–] quafeinum@lemmy.world 11 points 20 hours ago (1 children)
[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 4 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Good point, although he looks more creepy than full-blown evil.

[–] quafeinum@lemmy.world 4 points 20 hours ago

Idk man.. his lifeless eyes and his fake grin knowing full well that he’s full of shit and exploits children for profit sounds fucking evil tbh

That's a real smile for once, it looks weird because he has wooden teeth.

[–] kandoh@reddthat.com 24 points 1 day ago

It's pathetic watching these bootlickers

[–] harrybo93@lemmy.world 62 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Never seen him looking so fucking old and wrinkled

[–] HowManyNimons@lemmy.world 67 points 1 day ago (5 children)

To be fair, he is older than ever before.

Actually I think some of it is the weight he's lost recently.

But I am looking forward to him being dead, yes.

They all know to play this dumb bastards ego

I bet the back of the bottle says only people with very large hands and a big a-brain can possess it

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 30 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Apparently someone loves to lick boots and give some a handie under the table.

Just wait until he gets his inaugural Big Mac.

It's like everyone forgot that Pepsi stopped George floydd protests and passed sweeping justice system reform. /$
