Anyone need a laugh at our so-called president's expense?

[kpete]

In a bizarre interview with Fox News last night, President Trump stood next to a sculpture in the Oval Office that he said depicts former president Teddy Roosevelt, and explained that statues are vital to learning about history. Trump went on to complain that some people want to tear down statues of President Roosevelt, just like the art in his office. The only problem? The sculpture Trump was talking about isn’t Teddy Roosevelt. It’s an anonymous cowboy from the 1890s.

1. Even I knew that this was a Frederic Remington art piece

not Teddy Roosevelt.
45 is so incurious about everything that he doesn't know basic American art.

[SCantiGOP]

22. That's a pretty famous piece of art

and it doesn't really look like Teddy anyway.

I am hearing more and more people turning away from Trump not because of his politics or policies, but because they realize that he is dumb as a rock and the whole Administration is grossly incompetent.

[wnylib]

47. His party is dumping him for Romney

because the public has turned against Trump.

Now the R's have turned against Trump. That's why they are speaking up against him now.

[Thomas Hurt]

2. Everything he is says is a fn lie and scam.

He neither knows nor cares what that sculpture is he just made up shit to push his con job.

[Beartracks]

4. That's it in a nutshell. Lying requires a relationship with the truth.

Sometimes I think Trump does lie, in that he knows the truth and deliberately hides it. The rest of the time, he just bullshits. The bullshit isn't true either, of course, but as you say he "neither knows nor cares" what the truth is in those cases.

32. "When ya can't dazzle 'em with brilliance,....

...baffle 'em with bullshit."

Yesterday a facebook friend posted a picture of a manure gun and told how much manure it could spit out, and how far it shot; I replied with a picture Il Douche, andmarvelled at the coincidence that the object of mine could also spew a lot of bullshit. (He didn't take kindly to it, but what the hell......)

[Beartracks]

51. LOL. I hope the snowflake is alright.

[Devilsun]

3. Looks like a Frederick Remington to me. 😏

[Beartracks]

5. "Frederick Remington is an example of somebody who's done an amazing job...

... and is being recognized more."

38. "In fact he also did the Remington Rand typewriters

And many people don’t know this”

[louis-t]

43. Haaa!!!

My Dad worked for Remington Rand in the '50s.

[volstork]

41. His razors are beautiful as well!

Top notch! Many people say so!

[Thomas Hurt]

7. probably a knock off he got for a hundred bucks.

[Devilsun]

8. Prolly made in China like his clothing line lol

[SergeStorms]

37. Yep.

I have several, 'Bronco Buster' being one of them.

[Aristus]

42. The piece is called "The Broncho Buster". (That's how they spelled bronco back then.)

It was Remington's first ever attempt at sculpture.

Good first try...

[Under The Radar]

6. Ha! There is another briefing that he somehow missed.

In the ‘90s those Remington sculptures were more popular than pop tarts. How did Trump not get the memo? That mustached cowboy must have been on all of the ones that I have seen and never did I or anyone else suggest that it was a depiction of TR.

[mr_lebowski]

9. You know where people look at statues to learn about History, Donnie?

MUSEUMS.

That's more or less what museums are for.

Nobody is saying we can't have 'Civil War Museums' and they can litter the places with the fucking statues and nobody will say 'boo'.

Cause that's the sort of place they belong.

And I've heard absolutely nothing about anyone wanting to tear down TR statues.

Fever Dreams, asshole?

[lunatica]

45. Calling it a Civil War Museum is so limiting

because there are men long before the Civil War and long after who were racist, not just involving Black people, but including Native Americans as well. I was thinking calling it the Dark Side of America.

If we have a museum about the Holocaust we can have one or several about The history of our evil underbelly. Throw in the burning of the witches in Salem, and the internment of the Japanese.

10. Didn't take long- Trump mixes up Teddy Roosevelt with an anonymous Remington cowboy

https://www.theartnewspaper.com/news/art-history-fact-check-trump-can-t-tell-the-difference-between-teddy-roosevelt-and-an-anonymous-remington-cowboy
:snip>
As statues glorifying white supremacy and colonialist figures find themselves under increased social scrutiny and attacks amid anti-racism protests, many conservatives in the US have claimed these monuments are essential for teaching American history to the public. That was the point President Trump was trying to make in a Fox News interview on Sunday as he gestured to a bronze horse-and-rider work on display in the Oval Office that he suggested was the likeness of former president Theodore Roosevelt, a controversial statue of whom is due to be removed from outside of the American Museum of Natural History in New York.

The only problem? It is not Roosevelt.

Instead, it is an unnamed fictional cowboy known as The Broncho Buster, made by the late 19th-century painter and illustrator Frederic Remington, who is best remembered for his idealised depictions of the American West.

Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah for ignorant and proud

[SunSeeker]

11. He really is a fucking moron. nt

[Brother Buzz]

12. That's Clarence E. Mulford's Hopalong Cassidy, not that namby pamby TV character played by Bill Boyd

Hopalong Cassidy was a bad-tempered, crusty cowboy with extremely high moral values, something the orange anus would know nothing about

That's my story, and I'm sticking with it

[Zorro]

13. As an aside

Hopalong Cassidy is a free Kindle download, for those interested in reading Mulford's book.

[Kid Berwyn]

27. Thanks!

I like Hoppy.

[world wide wally]

14. And that is all he knows about Teddy Roosevelt

[KY_EnviroGuy]

15. Trump just makes shit up. His anus is a library of fiction.

KY.............

[Leith]

16. It looks more like John Bolton than Teddy Roosevelt

Maybe it's the mustache.

chumpy's a turd. I hope the CNN story about the 3 top advisers ruins his week.

[Scarsdale]

23. That is exactly what I thought.

Looks like John Bolton.

[herding cats]

17. Is someone on his staff trolling him?! 🤣🤣

This was funny in its ineptitude!

[47of74]

18. I thought it looked more like Mad Dog Tannen

[louis-t]

44. "I hate manure!!"

Sez Biff.

[FakeNoose]

19. Jeez, are you sure it's not Sam Elliott?

[Hoyt]

26. Was thinking that, although it kind of looks like drunken Lee Marvin in Cat Ballou.

[SergeStorms]

35. Kid Shaleen.

I've always loved that movie. Dwayne Hickman (Dobie Gillis) was in that as well.

[FakeNoose]

50. Yep if they ever did a remake of Cat Ballou

... the Lee Marvin character (actually he played 2 characters) has to be taken over by Sam Elliott.

Everything about Cat Ballou was so great though, I doubt they could ever do it justice.

[Dukkha]

20. Who learns history from statues?

People who can't read. Remind you of someone? Someone named you?

[Cha]

24. The fucking treasonous moron strikes again.

[Gore1FL]

25. I have a copy of this statue.

It's called "The Bronco Buster." The artist is Remington.

[lame54]

28. Isn't that Gabby Johnson?

[SergeStorms]

33. Spouting authentic old west gibberish...

if I'm not mistaken.

[MLAA]

29. And looks a little like John Bolton 😬

[Major Nikon]

36. So does Ned Flanders

[MLAA]

40. Indeed! And both are cartoons!

[C_U_L8R]

30. I believe that statue is called Bolton's Revenge.

[SergeStorms]

31. Remington's 'Bronco Buster' is now...

Teddy Roosevelt, huh? The more this turd tries to "show off" his "knowledge" the more he demonstrates what a complete moron he is. Of course his imbecilic cult followers don't know any better and believe every word he says.

[Major Nikon]

34. My MIL had the same one

You can’t make shit up this funny

[Major Nikon]

39. Faux news softball turns into a sphere of shit

Trump takes a massive swing and shit splattered all over both of them.

[LuckyCharms]

46. I'm surprised he didn't think it was Festus from Gunsmoke.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

49. Well a course hit is! Caintcha see the feller who wrote the readin' didn't get the readin' right.

[forgotmylogin]

48. Is it physically possible to facepalm one's self to death?

I mean, if the COVID doesn't get you?

[Happy Hoosier]

52. MAGAts:

I never knew that statue was of Teddy Roosevelt!? No one did! Our glorious leader is so wise that he knows things about Everything that even experts don’t know!
