Alt: An image of soldiers standing in front of a government building covered in the American flag and a giant image of Trump

Looks like his face has a line down the middle. What's that about?

The picture is his mugshot, and the flag is on the wrong side, not upside down, like in a mirror. Details, but that tells something

The picture isn't his mugshot, it's his official photograph. Yes really, that's the style he chose for his official photograph.

Pretty sure it is

www.npr.org/2025/06/03/n...

I think his first official WH portrait (the one used here) is his mugshot, enhanced with AI I think thats why they changed it

Yep, probably AI, that doesn't make it better, and its still the mugshot though. Thinking that putting shitty AI on a mugshot is ok is, again, stupid, and a way to say that even if he is an convicted outlaw, it's ok to have him as president

When a Coup fails to be addressed...

Trump has never been that slim....add another 100 pounds and have him teetering on his lifts. Strive for accuracy.

Das Piecenshitz Whitenfuhrer tRump und Miller sprechens hass !

Does look fascistic. Hope never to see anywhere else in USA.

Well with the stake in Intel ushering in a bold new era of national socialism on top of the previous bold new era for American workers depicted in that banner I guess our current leadership is a national socialist American workers’ party

I'd suggest National Socialist Defend America Party, or NSDAP for short

The *American Workers First* is one big lie as tens of thousands lose their jobs.

Many of them directly fired by his administration, no less.

Dictator style www.yahoo.com/news/deeply-...

That's the one.

Paintball guns are harmless fun that shoots balls of paint, perhaps the paint can be replaced for other chemicals that could cause more damage to these ugly banners. I'm not suggesting anything, or am I.

Worse than Illinois Nazis

I hate Illinois Nazis.

Those fuckin’ bums…

I HATE Illinois Nazis

Can you imagine if Obama...

Looks like North Korea around here.

🤢

MAGA is Non Grata in Democracy.

The MAGA Fascist Cristo-Pedo Police States of America are Evil Personified...

👎🤬🤬🤬👿👿🤮

most of us realize the creeping tyranny is slow-moving on purpose so they can distract, exhaust avenues of resistance but I keep wondering what's going to be the moment where even people who don't read news finally notice? I think I know now multi-city martial law coming August 2026, next recess

I am a USN veteran. I would NEVE EVER violate my oath by kissing this traitor's fat orange ass. NEVER BE A TRAITOROUS COWARD!! www.military.com/join-armed-f...

It looks like Soviet Union, with huge pic of the "leader".

Totally revolting. This will go down in American history as another huge tragedy along with slavery. Will we ever recover.

That's the question... the republicans / [G]reed [O]ver [P]eople, their behind the scenes [financial] backers and planers are doing their best to never have another fair election, but more so, to always- forever more to ONLY have republicans in political / judicial dominance and power! 🚨Democrats🚨

Paganism No body walking by has a lighter?

Or one of Elon's flame throwers? Remember those?

🤮🤮🤮

TRUMP'S AMERICA

Beyond disgusting.

Yes. Big Brother First. America 2nd.

If Anyone is wondering WE ARE NAZIS GERMANY NOW

I hope this is AI

Sadly it’s not.

cult

And a fascist one at that.

[A]bdicating [I]ntelligence... yes, it is AI

sadly not

then it’s a cult

This is not the first banner he has had put up on a federal building. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

🤮

There will be more. Can’t wait to see which government building gets defaced by his face next.

You are now a #Trump Corporation not a country according to him.

Just like in Pyongyang! What a great achievement for the country!

woof

😬

Paintball target

Do they make an incendiary round like a paintball?

Apparently napalm can be used in shotgun shells.

Dear Leader

this has paint gun target shooting written all over it!

This is some bullshit, and I truly cannot understand how anyone can be blind to the authoritarianism.

bsky.app/profile/sken...

The irony is in the comparison of the pictures hanging as something seen in North Korea and the dear leader Kim Jong Un. Far from being taken as a slur by Trump , he would take the comparison as a compliment . Trump has deep admiration and love of of Kim and the power he Wields.

Dear Fuhrer

UnAmerican

What is happening to us ...

I can tell you which flag I’d burn

Pacino knows what to do. youtu.be/qMx-Lv_eZ3s?...

Arbeit macht frei.

It has happened here.

My fear is they may like what they see. Horrifying.

Beyond reprehensible.

Is that his mug shot?

Yes.

🤮

Horsey predicted this nearly ten years ago.

Bigly Brother

Imagine, that's from 2015. Artist is prescient.

Who is the artist? Would it be okay to post it on instagram?

It's signed Horsey, LA Times, copyright 2015. That's David Horsey. He might have his own insta, the LA Times is on insta, so it might be there.

Oops, wait, he's moved to the Seattle Times now. Sorry.

Thank you!!!

This isn’t true - is it? There is a flag hanging over a building with his face?? 😭😭😭😭 This has to be an AL photo!

you're on the wrong side of history.

Very unhealthy man. He won't last four years. Anyone else think Thiel put their guy in place on purpose to succeed Trump?

He certainly groomed Vance for it.

Kim Jong Trump's skin is rotting off his hand. He dementia time travels to the 80s, wears a catheter on & off, sits in $hit filled diapers, has some vein disease he admits to & can't walk a straight line. I remain optimistic, he too shall pass.

🤞

* Trump built a staff of incompetent sycophants so he could dictate through them, speak through them. All of the Trump Fox News appointees administration is the voice of Donald Trump. This is a fascist dictatorship administration. There are no experienced professional people in the room.

With that message from an anti-union admin. Fascism.

It's amazing to me that people don't immediately spot blatant totalitarianism on the rise, but I think we're paying the price of losing (for the most part) the generation with firsthand memories of Hitler, Stalin, Mao, etc. Maybe the kids don't know that leaders of democracies don't do this shit.

That's not at the fault of teachers who tried to teach democratic ideals while their states did not value their important instruction.

I completely agree. None of this should be a surprise to anyone who paid attention in K-12. In fact, my son had a middle school assignment to make a fascist propaganda poster. I remember because we brainstormed a little and his was creative. But what's coming out of the Trump admin is much worse.

I don't think historical illiteracy is the main issue here. I think people are looking squarely at the similarities and saying, "Pfft, that was *over there.* This is *America.* When Americans do it, that means that it isn't totalitarianism. We beat the Nazis and the USSR doncha know?"

You may be right, but for instance, the symbolism of Kane's giant likeness in Citizen Kane was clearly intended to be somewhat sinister, while clearly American. I remember seeing the footage from the GOP convention last summer and being stunned but now I realize many people find this acceptable.

I remember my mother's reaction to the term "Homeland Security" when it first hit the news in the early 00s. It was less political statement gut reaction: it sounds like the Nazi Fatherland, alien and un-American. She was WWII generation and felt it. But now it shows up in normal discourse.

Hey evangelicals. Hey Christian nations and you too cult maga. You call yourself s Christians so stop covet by putting your faith & hope on imperfect humans and follow admonishment from the good book. Why do you turn men into idols to worship them. Psalm 146:3-5 Lev.19:5, 1 john 5:21, and ROM.1:25.

Holy shit

👀

This makes my skin crawl.

Crime is so bad that the soldiers are also taking selfies with tourists. They know they are there as a political stunt.

He's going full Mussolini

Looks like a scene from some dystopian CW show about a fascist USA circa 2045.

🤬

American workers first!!! (except those who work in industries affected by high tariffs, or fed government careers, or immigrant workers, or any workers caring or teaching other people, or…)

I’ve played enough video games to know that this level takes places completely behind enemy lines of a fascist regime.

Chilling for me. North Korea- Russia- Germany!!!

Hey, at least they're not saluting.

Not a good one

Burn it down

Appalling.

We’re gonna have to use so much bleach in the city once he leaves. So. Much. Bleach.

PEDOfuhrer wanted to be a DICKtator on day one & the Dead GOP-PEDOCONS allowed it to happen. 🤬🤷 We the People must stop this insane lawlessness! Protest every fking day & weekend, or as the wannabe king POS said, "You got to fight like hell if you want to have a country anymore." -DJT

Exactly why I call him Cheetolini.

Would also accept Cheeto Benito

Mussolini's expression and body language are so similar to that of DoneOld.

My favorite photo of Il Duce —

1984

Americans need to burn every Trump flag they come across!

Now there's a flag everyone should burn!

Stupid AF.

Dear Leader Poopy Pants.

And it's his mugshot Stay classy, Trump

Such a joke: “workers first” on a gov building, as he mass-fires govt employees

No one is giving him the finger so I give it a 3/10 and that’s just for the flag and troops.

It was never about 2A nor safety in communities. If it were, red states with high crime rate, wouldn't send our military to DC to conduct police call nor to roll a red carpet out for a despot. Ghislaine would stay in a cell, seditious conspirators no pardon +no pardons with ambassadorships.

Fuck that. Rip it down and burn it.

Creepy

When AOC moves into the White House, I want her picture on every wall in every major city. And maga better like it!

Even Erdogan is not this bad.

Same exact thing. Our country has fallen so far, so fast.

JFC

all that’s missing is some straight-arm salutes

Tear it down and set it on 🔥 fire

🤢

This socialist realism sux

We're not far from the V for Vendetta stage of things

Remember, remember the 5th of November.

trump first. then america.

it's wild because "giant banners of the Leader's face all over everything" is such a standard visual shorthand for "terrifying authoritarian dystopia" that you'd think no one could possibly do it sincerely.

The republicans mean this...every gesture, every word. They intend the end of American democracy. This is not a drill.

Did they pick it up at kinko’s?

Still waiting for all those pansies with the Gadsden flag in their tacky front lawns to pretend to give a shit. Oh wait, they’re hypocrites??

Meanwhile, us :/

🎯

He's just getting started.

Big Brother is watching you

Does anyone nearby have a bow and flaming arrow?

are they saluting, praying or pissing?

Its not a crime to burn either of those things that are hanging.

Touched it up so it feels more accurate

Tear that f***** down!!!!!

TARGET PRACTICE!!!

How very unAmerican!!!😡

His pr people try so hard to make him look menacing but he’s such a feeble, weak pos who wears a diaper.

#NeverForget who FELON/Sexual Predator Donald J. "Bone Spurs" Trump truly is ...

FELON/Sexual Predator Donald J. "Bone Spurs" Trump loves humiliating our military members/troops. You can bet he got great satisfaction watching our military picking up trash in #DC. You can bet his pal Putin loved it, too. Trump is a monster. After this, I hope our military finally recognize that.

A Nazi doing Nazi shit ...

Choose wisely my friends.

I remember reading 1984 in high school and thinking how crazy it was, that nothing like that would happen. And we are sooo much worse off now than that book even hinted at.

Imagine if Dems did this part 4,001

Which flag will they serve and obey?

It’s not the flag. It’s the constitution.

😅 bsky.app/profile/bese...

Very disturbing image

Fascism and GAS-cism [gaslighting citizens on egomaniacal level]

I'm not sure which is worse, that he had direct sign off for this and went "yep!" Or that underlings were "this is on brand and will be accepted" without input

It seemed only a matter of time before he hung his ugly face up everywhere like he thinks he’s an Ayatollah.

They were probably told by their commanding officer to stand there and look.

And just like that the real Trump sign appears, which brings smiling crowds eager to post selfies. Thank you Dept of Labor!

It’s interesting how “American Workers” is so much smaller than the “First” with his picture bigger than everything else as if he represents an American worker. He only represents himself.

The fascists are using every tool in the fascist playbook and we're not using every tool in the resistance playbook. Everyone is so excited by what Newsom is doing but that's not a new form of resistance. We did it in the 30's and 40's against Hitler. We have to use every tool.

Wait! I've seen this movie before. docs.rferl.org/Infographics...

The shadowing gives Shitler a very familiar looking moustache when viewed from a phone.

it’s grotesque

The army must decide if they want to raise their right arm soon og the middle finger. The people and democracy expects the finger.

When the musick plays, everybody bow down and worship the image...

"Shouts of 'Hang Trump' are just the people asking for more banners, sir."

And is that not his mug shot?

And John Roberts looks upon his work and sees that it is good.

There’s your authoritarian police state in a single frame.

Disgusting. Who has not been adversely impacted by all of this other than very wealthy people?

Ladies and gentlemen. Your tax dollars at work!

Orwellian or dictator vibe. No bueno.

Looks like a poster reminding the patriotic American public of the order in which we need to eliminate these monsters

I wonder which one they're looking at while they pledge allegiance.

Right, all those American workers they fired in those first few months must get a laugh from it.

desecrating the flag

brb, gotta pick up a few things from the store: - water jug - water-based or washable red paint - super-soaker Anyone need anything?

QUESTION: Is this display at the US Department of Labor a violation of the United States Flag Code, as the American flag is not displayed (relative to Trump's) to the viewer's left, the position of prominence?

Big Brother

From the US Flag Code: US Code Title 4, Chapter 1-The Flag, section 7(c): Position and manner of display: "No other flag or pennant should be placed […] to the [viewers' left] of the flag of the United States of America" bsky.app/profile/kdby...

How do you know it means stage right rather than to the viewer’s right?

This example was staged, right?

Take it from the top. www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/...

I don't know where that's made explicit in the code, but that's the usual protocol. If you have a lineup of the US and a bunch of foreign or state flags or whatever, the US is supposed to be first on the viewer's left / stage right.

Of course, this is the sort of thing that often gets disregarded. People often think the center of a lineup is the place of honor but it's technically not.

In any case, when more than one flag is flown, the United States flag is supposed to be higher. Like when it flies above a state flag.

If the flag were a person leaning up against the wall, nothing should be to its right, which means nothing should be to the viewers left as the viewer looks at the flag on the wall.

Codes are for suckers and losers unless they’re nuclear.

The key word, of course, is "should" not "shall." Flag code is a suggestion, not a requirement. It's still 100% disgusting to see that orange felon's face on anything.

Yes. Within a week of Trump trying to outlaw disrespecting the flag by burning it, it would have been good if his Labor Secretary didn't disrespect it by hanging it the wrong way.

Isn’t the USA flag backwards?

No, it's correct. www.flagandbanner.com/flags/flag_e...

Like Sadam Hussein, or Bashar al-Assad, or Kim I'll Jung.

🤮

Pathetic and disgusting

Kkkristiankkkunt traitor Amerikkka!

Imagine what it looks like from that window behind his big dumb face

Welcome to the club, United States. Joining Russia, Turkey and North Korea.

Orange Brother

Is that his mugshot photo?

Thank you cowardly Republicans and selfish sell-outs. YOU gave us celebrity autocracy that is destroying this country every day.

I always wondered how the nazi party came to power... I think that's now been answered

truly

Imagine if MSM actually reported this.

Imagine if they reported the epidemic of veteran suicides that resulted from these mass firings. The VA is in crisis mode with mental health issues right now.

Everything privatized for profit by the GOP. Always a myth that they cared about anybody or anything. Majority of veterans voted for the pedophile. I wonder how many of them will take responsibility for the destruction of the VA. www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...

This image should be in history books.

Where is Captain von Trapp when we need him?

It will be in history books.

Only if we first save our democracy.

It’ll be in the history books of other countries, just as our history books have similar photos of Hitler,et al.

bsky.app/profile/barb...

How sad. 😞

there here to take the trash down

It looks just like Baghdad under Saddam Hussein just a different dick-tator on the building

Big Brother is leering at your teenage daughter

These soldiers are disgracing themselves and their oath to the Constitution

This is so unAmerican.

pyongyang washington.

I just see 1984

Dictatorships don’t end well

DISGUSTING IMAGE

Same vibes

FUCK YOU DONALD CAN'T WAIT FOR THE DECAYING TO FINISH YOU OFF

I mean. I hope you mean, what a horrific image.

FASCISM.

Oh wow. That is sickening. But I’ll bet someone will have it framed in gold for their gaudy, ostentatious, increasingly offensive office.

Can we find one of Stalin or Saddam like this to show the comparison. It’s ME presidency not WE.

fvcking disgusting

🤢

Tough Guy gonna Tough Guy, I suppose.

Has it been so long Americans don't remember??

It’s giving tiny dick(tator) energy

Of bullshit?
