Trump Is Two Weeks Away From Telling Supporters to Tattoo His Face on Their Asses

One of the primary knocks on Donald Trump’s supporters is that they’re idiots who don’t know they‘re being lied to by a con man. And to date, the ex-president has done little to change that narrative!

Insider reports that Trump‘s Save America PAC sent a pair of emails to supporters on Wednesday urging them to start carrying “Trump Cards,” which look like credit cards, if credit cards had Trump’s signature on them and misspelled the word “official.” (Designs of the cards have “ID” numbers on them and “Member Since 2021.”) “The card you select will be carried by Patriots all around the Country,” the first email reads, in all its cringeworthy glory. “They will be a sign of your dedicated support to our movement to SAVE AMERICA, and I’m putting my full trust in you.” A second message, with more urgency, notes, “We’re about to launch our Official Trump Cards, which will be reserved for President Trump’s STRONGEST supporters.… We recently met with the President in his Florida office and showed him four designs. Originally we were planning on releasing just one design, but when President Trump saw the cards on his desk, he said, ‘These are BEAUTIFUL. We should let the American People decide – they ALWAYS know best!’”

Naturally, the emails do not specify what benefits one is entitled to by carrying a “Trump Card.” According to Insider, the link to vote for a design leads to a fundraising page, where supporters can continue funneling money directly into Trump’s pocket.

In addition to being extremely sad and deeply cult-like, the ex-president’s fake credit cards showcase visuals reminiscent of the Nazi Party, which did not go unnoticed. Per The Independent:

The email showed four designs featuring an American flag background, a golden eagle, his official seal, and the words “official Trump card.” … On Twitter, critics argued that the “Trump cards” were akin to belonging to a cult, and that the iconography of the golden eagle was on par with the imperial eagle and iconography of Nazis.

“See the difference between Trump card & Nazi symbolism? Me either,” wrote a Twitter user. Another added: “Trump wants his followers to carry his Trump card!lol!vaccination cards?No! Trump cards? Yes! I did Nazi this coming!” “My Grandfather showed me some stuff he brought back from WWII that looked just like this Third Reich reject Trump Card,” wrote another.

No one associated with the effort appears to have commented on the similarities between the Trump cards and imagery favored by Nazis, but rest assured that when they do, they’ll plead total ignorance, which is very much their thing.

You’ll never believe it but it turns out Rudy Giuliani is a liar and a fraud

Never have heroes, as they say. Per the Daily Beast:

Rudy Giuliani has admitted to Department of Justice investigators that he was bullshitting when, in the lead up to the 2016 presidential election, he said in a radio interview that he’d heard “rumors” about the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails from “active” FBI agents. The president’s personal lawyer admitted in a voluntary interview with the DOJ’s inspector general that “he had not been in contact with any active FBI agents in October 2016, and stated that he had only spoken with former agents who did not have any direct or indirect knowledge of FBI investigations in October 2016,” inspector general wrote in a report released Thursday, almost five years after the saga.

In a Fox News interview on October 26, 2016, Giuliani had teased that then presidential candidate Donald Trump had some tricks up his sleeve that would elate his supporters. “I think he’s got a surprise or two that you’re going to hear about in the next few days. I mean, I’m talking about some pretty big surprises,” he said. Just two days later, then FBI director James Comey dropped a pre-election bombshell by announcing that the agency would reopen its inquiry into whether Hillary Clinton had mishandled classified information. Republicans seized on the opportunity to smear Trump’s opponent. Giuliani gloated about it on a radio show that same day, saying he was hearing “rumors” from “active” FBI agents that they supported Comey’s decision to backtrack and reopen the email probe.

Later, while being interviewed by the DOJ Office of the Inspector General, which was looking into possible FBI leaks, he admitted he was full of shit, and that any conversations he’d had were “gossip” about Comey’s decision-making process, and that the supposedly active agents were, in fact, retired FBI employees working in consulting and security.
