Trump and Ivanka always have a fake smile ready at a moments notice, but Dumb and Dumber always look like it's the first time they've ever seen a camera and are mystified by this sorcery that flashes light at them.

[–] teamevil@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

I was going to say they look so dumb but you just.... chef's kiss

[–] Hugh_Jeggs@lemm.ee 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I had no fucking clue he had two sons until I saw this post

They both look like a blind monkey knitted them into existence

[–] Eximius@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Fantastic sentence. Stealing this.

[–] bulwark@lemmy.world 57 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (3 children)

Jesus, his sons look dumb.

[–] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 30 points 2 months ago

Got some news for you, bruh…

[–] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 13 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

They ARE dumb.

Also, the one in the middle is Vince McMahon’s kid.

[–] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Fuck you, I will never unsee it

[–] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)
[–] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Being familiar with McMahon, it isn't out of the realm of possibilities

[–] bcgm3@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

The seed is strong.

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Like cartoons of two wall street guys.

[–] norimee@lemmy.world 49 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Yeah, but they are "WHITE". That makes a crucial difference for bigots and racist.

[–] nifty@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago (2 children)

European whites have always hated and fought each other, see a little thing called all of European history. It’s only when European have common enemies, they kind of unite.

[–] OhNoMoreLemmy@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 months ago

And that common enemy is normally another European country.

[–] Hugh_Jeggs@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago

Sideways glance at Belgium

[–] 242@lemmy.cafe 5 points 2 months ago

That's what they mean when say someone is or isn't a "real" American. Skin tone is the deciding factor for them.

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They’re a weird family that’s only cultural traditions are “be aristocratic and rich.”

[–] nifty@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Their roots are not aristocratic, they were poor or middle class immigrants who came to the U.S. and made money https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Trump

Edit Trumps granddad ran a brothel, his grandmas family were poor instrument makers

[–] Clusterfck@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah. This isn’t a big reveal. The Trump family got there’s. How are they supposed to be better than everyone if everyone has the same opportunity they did?

[–] DMBFFF@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

Many Trump supporters seem to tolerate some European—particularly west, north, and central European—immigrants for some reason.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Well it’s a very nuanced discussion, you know. It’s not just black and white.

[–] DMBFFF@lemmy.world -5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I see little nuance.

Those who oppose immigration are generally, at least to varying degrees, bigots.

Non-indigenous have little moral say on this issue.

[–] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

I think he made a joke

[–] raef@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Not too West, though. They start to get dark in the West

[–] Hux@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

“When [those countries] sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”

[–] bcgm3@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Every accusation is a confession.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 10 points 2 months ago

Very common to try to remove the ladder you climbed up on. Such hypocrisy.

[–] raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Please stop giving Germany more of a bad name. We already have Hitler to be associated with the country, even though he was Austrian. We
also have enough fascist pieces of shit of our own. We vehemently deny any "germanness" in these sleazy con artists and fascists.

/a German

[–] raef@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Keep it going. Throw Melania and Barron on there

[–] mightyfoolish@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

There's a lot of white people who don't see Europeans emigrating to the US as immigrants; because white people are generally from Europe. It's absolutely absurd and misses the point of what an immigrant is.

[–] hanrahan@slrpnk.net 4 points 2 months ago

Nigel Farnage similarly, Gert Wilder's as well AFAIK.

[–] DMBFFF@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So do I.

Both US and Canada (I'm Canadian) can benefit from increased immigration.

[–] JeromeVancouver@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Canada needs to slow its immigration so that infrastructure can catch up.

Our unemployment rate is over 6% as well.

[–] hanrahan@slrpnk.net 0 points 2 months ago

Or... use immigrants to build more infrastructure or others can move if they don't like where thy live, much like the immigrants did.

Hm, Fred looks a lot better than Donald. But maybe he's not as old in that picture, Donalds is pushing 80 after all.

[–] Doom@ttrpg.network 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

bro what is with jr and eric

[–] ryunoen@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 2 months ago

Ivanka has had surgery. I don't think she'd be ugly without it or anything, but it does make comparing them a bit unbalanced.
