Just one of those things that makes you go hmm

I just did a Google image search on "Trump 45". Seeing the results, and being slightly surprised by them, I decided to do a Google image search on "Obama 44".

The results made me go hmm.

Obama 44

Trump 45

Somewhat surprising, but then not really that surprising.

So it becomes apparent why there are so many images for pistols for Trump 45.
He's an NRA guy. Got a shitload of money from them (via Russian oligarchs).

Didn't know what to expect when I clicked the links but I certainly didn't expect that.

It is appropriate, though. And heartbreaking.

Dammit, I'm so tired of this shit.

I had no idea there were that many Trump products available out there. I feel rich for never having purchased one single item.

I wonder what the Trump family cut is?

I think the Trump 45 results are trying to tell us something.

Something sinister.

Then you click on 45 and feel death and destruction.

Just wow.
