Donald Trump's Ridiculous White House Renovations Have The Internet Comparing Him To A Not-So-Loved Historical Figure

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Somehow, we've left A LOT in the hands of this guy.

And that guy? Well, he's been giving major ✨Marie Antoinette Energy✨ lately.

You know Marie, the French queen who became a symbol of the rich and powerful during the French Revolution. She lived in opulence while many were starving, and has been most popularly attributed (perhaps mistakenly) to the phrase, "Let them eat cake!" At the time, her subjects were starving and had no money for bread (let alone cake, which was even more expensive).



Consider how, for example, nearly 70% of Americans say they're experiencing financial stress amid continually rising prices. Meanwhile, the Trump administration is bragging about all the money supposedly made from tariffs — aka, money partially coming directly out of your pockets via those rising prices. (At least Marie didn't hear that her people were starving and then add an additional tax on bread.)

1. I don't think that's kind of cake that the quote refers to, but point taken, and yeah, he is quite like her

at least how she is portrayed in the history textbooks.

Only worse, really

2. Guillotines.

[GiqueCee]

3. Yes...

... there must be plans for one on Youtube somewhere.

9. Here's a DIY YouTube on how to build

a cardboard guillotine.

I'm not stupid enough to show one of the many videos on building a real device. I don't want Felon47's personal militia attacking my house and family, or to receive a visit from the Secret Service.

I don't think we're going to have to wait long for him to be deposed. The madness of King Don is becoming more obvious each day -- except to his MAGA cult.

14. I was...

... being facetious... kinda. But a guillotine as a metaphor for terminating a Republican's political career, sure, I can work with that.

4. I still vote for trebuchet.

Directed at shark infested waters, because that's what he said he would choose. Sharks.

15. Sharks and electric boats 🤣

5. Melaaaaaaniaaaaaaaaah can say "I don't care" in five languages with or without clothing.

That may be crude but I don't care.

6. Funny, though.

7. Marie Antoinette never made the "Let them..." statement.

The phrase "let them eat cake" is often conventionally attributed to Marie Antoinette, but there is no evidence that she uttered it, and it is now generally regarded as a journalistic cliché.[227] This phrase originally appeared in Book VI of the first part of Jean-Jacques Rousseau's autobiographical work Les Confessions, finished in 1767 and published in 1782: "Enfin Je me rappelai le pis-aller d'une grande Princesse à qui l'on disait que les paysans n'avaient pas de pain, et qui répondit: Qu'ils mangent de la brioche". ("Finally I recalled the stopgap solution of a great princess who was told that the peasants had no bread, and who responded: 'Let them eat brioche'." ) Rousseau ascribes these words to a "great princess", but the purported writing date precedes Marie Antoinette's arrival in France. Some think that he invented it altogether.[2

As far as I know Marie Antoinette didn’t display the sexual depravity Trump thrives on.
