Trump in a baseball cap

You have seen him. Trump wearing a baseball cap, with MAGA or USA on it. He uses press "gaggles" to wear the hats and get national exposure. Of course, he sells them. $40 for the USA cap. You can buy other junk on his website too. Of course, it is all for his reelection but you can be sure some of that money is flowing into his pocket. First, Trump looks ridiculous wearing that junk like he is rooting for a team at a sporting event. And if Obama had done such a thing Fox news would have spent hours on how "unpresidential" it was. Overall, Trump looks like a sleazy salesman wearing that crap. And wearing it while discussing people shot dead with guns, hurricanes, tariffs, and other serious topics. I can't believe anybody wants this loser to be President. Or would even buy a used car from him.

that if Obama sold stupid hats and crap like Trump does, he would have been crucified by the wingnuts as trying to personally profit from it and being unPresidential. But, as in so many cases, when Trump does it, it's okay. He DOES look like an idiot wearing them. I'm surprised he hasn't worn one to the G7 or to give the State of the Union speech ....

We happened to see Trump at Sunday's Dorian briefing. He is as sitting there hunched over with his arms crossed while wearing a USA baseball cap that was several sizes too large. It all made him look much older and frailer. He reminds me of one of the elderly farmer neighbors when growing up.

His demeanor did not help. The main thing he kept asking was about how certain the meteorologists were that Dorian was going to turn north and not hit Florida. Well, they weren't certain but finally placated Trump enough the briefing could continue. Note that Mar-a-Lago was 80 miles due west of Dorian at the time.

And here come the new KKKAG hats for some aftermarket revenue, as well, as if there is something that was made great that you have to keep that way. It is an amazing, insubstantial fantasy world and it makes me wonder how many people are just living in nothing but a fragile reality tunnel that does even have access to anything outside it.


This is going to be essential for those who proudly wear the mark of that beast on their foreheads. I only wish the devotees would realize that the joke is on them and that it is obvious that the country is more in decline, generally speaking, then it was before the Orange Invasion. Really. KKKAG translates into extra cluelessness to go with the already ample ignore-ance as far as I am concerned.

Sheesh!

Or you will are that his head has half a dozen plugs that twist and swoop his hair into that ridiculous mess on top of his head. The hat keeps it all from flying away.

those precious few looong strands, to keep them cemented to his bald dome. Undoubtedly, the hardest work he does all day.
On weekends he just skips the whole tedious process and just dons the cap.
Actually, every guy in my neighborhood lives in their baseball caps all weekend. Some women wear them but its a "must for all the men.
They do look cool - except not on trump. He's just not the type to ever look cool.
