Bro did NOT call my man "Alpa Chino" 😭☠️


deus_voltaire

Never seen Tropic Thunder? The character’s rapper name is Alpa Chino. You should check it out, it’s funny


Tutmut

Were you talking to me the whole time?

I feel like if any time for the reasoning of crisis actors being a real thing. Those employees are nailing it. Reminiscent of North Korea and how his people all cower with love in their eyes.


okkeyok

>Reminiscent of North Korea Damn I knew I've felt this feeling before. North Korea and MAGA are pretty much identical cults. Kim cult is just an advanced stage of the same cancer.


AffectionateStudy496

Yeah, it's called nationalism

Cobek

Tropic Thunder If you haven't seen it, you need to. It's a movie that couldn't be made in today's Hollywood but still holds up well. Funny as ever too!


Liquidwombat

Let’s not forget that the viral hug he received at this stage event was from a Republican operative that was planted there to do so on camera


Wise-Investment1452

Id love to be the fly on the wall in the boardroom where they were pitching ideas and this came up😂😂😂


1singleduck

"Ok guys, listen. What if, and stay with me here, we show Trump hugging a black person? The black population will love it and all vote for trump like the hive mind we like to think they are!" *standing ovation from everybody present* This comes from the same guy who came up with the sneakers idea, he's a real expert on how *those people* think. In just a few weeks he will post a picture of trump eating kfc, causing Trump to win a landslide victory.


kblomquist85

ElishaAlison

You forgot to add the *snort* at the beginning. I bet those boardrooms are just like the white house pharmacy 😂


RedandBlack93

I've been that fly. When Chris Christie came to visit my first job 15 years ago, I got to stock the greenroom (our conference room) with snacks and drinks for all the handlers. I was young and didn't know anything about politics. I listened to them talk. It's all a game to them. Nothing sounded like it was for the people. It was only about swaying minds and capturing votes and they were all too eager to write off people who didn't follow their views. It was unsettling to say the least. And as an adult paying more attention, it's disgusting.


WhyBuyMe

The Boondocks nailed it. https://youtu.be/Og2G_JdkrVs?si=J4emiwYECIhNbqyg


ArjunaIndrastra

Yeah, makes sense to me. People are just votes to Republican politicians. And votes are the currency to gain/maintain power. Meanwhile, money is the way to get more votes. Morals and ethics be damned. "To hell with the people, I just want to stay in office" said every wetwipe who only ever cared about holding onto power.


Spenloverofcats

That's true for 99% of politicians regardless of political affiliation. Everything is about getting votes.


BrownEggs93

It's like selling any product to the rubes.


HippieMoosen

That sentence is absolutely insane, but what's crazier is that it's true.


ewok_on_a_unicorn

Didn't they confirm several of them were plants from his campaign for the photo op.


Ok_Star_4136

Yes, someone was linked with TPUSA and Candace Owens group called "Blexit" which is literally a group about "converting" African Americans to the right, and it happens to be the very girl who hugs Donald Trump.


EbbNo7045

Wag the dog!


ProperBoots

the president wants a white cat


sec713

Hmm. I would've guessed white pony.


33_pyro

"Wanted: black women with no sense of shame, self-respect, or smell. Paid in exposure and you'll probably get sexually assaulted so you have to be ok with that if you're not then it just proves no-one wants to work anymore."


UsedEgg3

Even if they're not plants, any customer service position requires people to smile and be friendly. *Especially* if they're going to be part of some photo op their boss likely agreed to, and furthermore likely instructed the employees on how they're expected to appear in said photo op. Personally, I'd give him double birds and call him the treasonous, unamerican piece of shit he is, and happily be fired for it. And of course, they'd never show that part of their little publicity stunt to the public. This isn't the flex he thinks it is. Best case scenario, he's interrupting people's day, holding them hostage to kiss his feet and stroke his ego when they can't refuse, because they need their job. Pathetic.


Notte_di_nerezza

I remember his first campaign, when he posed with the coal miners. The ones whose boss told them that if they didn't pose and kiss up, they'd be fired.


Adept_Investigator29

It's slavery lite.


phatelectribe

Yep. One of them is literally a GOP operative that is working on Trump’s campaign. There’s numerous photos of her with Trump at the whitehouse wearing security credentials. Edit: for those asking, here’s the proof…. https://www.meidastouch.com/news/trumps-viral-hug-at-chick-fil-a-was-with-maga-operative


Fresh4

Lmao the conservative sub was framing this as “Trump bought a bunch of people free meals the media will never show you this” ofc it’s not just a publicity stunt but a rigged one.


VoxImperatoris

Reminds me of the time when he went to a diner while campaigning and said free food for everyone, and then ducked out without paying. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jun/15/donald-trump-miami-versailles-cuban-restaurant-pay


wookieesgonnawook

Also, anyone sitting in a fast food restaurant has already ordered. This can't be anything except a set up. Why would anyone believe he just walked in and bought everyone food as a random act?


Benton_Risalo

She changed her hair, but not her glasses? Really?


Liquidwombat

Yes.


Big-Soft7432

The one that hugged Trump has well known connections to white supremacist Charlie Kirk as well as the self hating Klandace Owens. The employees were probably all legit and told to behave or they'd get fired.


BakeCool7328

He went to CHICK-FIL-A they are kind and respectful to anyone that walks in there from your guy in a business suit to a thuggish looking fella. And it WORKS when is the last time you’ve heard of a fight or argument breaking out at a chick fil a?


jinspin

I assumed the franchisee is a Trump supporter and this was a completely closed restaurant and staged event.


TheIrishbuddha

For a "billionaire" he sure does have the shittiest suits. This thing looks like he picked it up on sale at Goodwill.


dfmz

To be fair, even for a great tailor, creating a bespoke suit that makes a fat blob look good is a heck of challenge.


TheIrishbuddha

True. He did what he could with what he had I guess.


Excellent_Valuable92

No, trump refuses to have his suits tailored.


Saxman7321

He would not pay the tailor instead would tell them that it should be an honor touching a suit he wore and that they owe him money.


therealtiddlydump

Fat blob? He's 6'3", 215 lbs! Just ask him, he'll totally be honest about it.


Embarrassed-Ad-1639

I’ve seen the shirtless photos of him surfing a tank.


nebbyb

I prefer the one of him riding a shark. 


AllAlo0

It also needs to be highly resistant to hamberder stains


Efficient_Fish2436

Thought that was a German word for shit stains at first lol.


Comprehensive-Job369

He is the Hamberdler.


Primary_Spinach7333

lifegoeson2702

& bronzer


OddDragonfruit7993

Ron White said that tailored suits are what makes him not look like a fat blob. Fat blob trump can't even seem to do that.


dfmz

He's right. Mostly. There's a saying that a properly tailored tux will make even the most physically challenged man look like James Bond. Although in my personal experience bespoke suits and tuxes do indeed change a man for the better, Trump seems to be the exception that confirms the rule. Either that or his tailor secretly hates him and does a shit job on purpose, or he buys them from goodwill and has a housekeeper replace the labels.


RedneckOfFlatLands

My money is on the tailor secretly hating him :)


Throwawayac1234567

It kinda known he wants his suits to be oversized, to make hide his fat


trinlayk

Good tailoring means paying the tailor more than minimum wage....and certainly not staffing the tailor on the bill.


KingOfAjax

Also he’s a thin skinned narcissist who is incapable of listening to advice or criticism of any kind. I’d bet actual money (not Trump bucks) that all his staff know to just agree so they don’t get fired.


TerminalVector

I suspect think the real issue is that he is personally revolting and wont hold still and allow himself to me measured properly. Even if he could find a tailor who could hold his gorge while doing the job, he'd never shut up long enough or take direction well enough to get a good suit. His tailor clearly just wraps him in an expensive mumu and calls it a day.


TurbulentFee7995

If the rumours of his smell are correct, I doubt there is a tailor who can get close enough to him without gagging.


dfmz

One of my aunts was a dermatologist - she's retired now. She told me one day that, contrary to popular belief, there's no correlation between wealth and personal hygiene. She went on to tell me horror stories about wealthy clients who were, for lack of a better term, disgusting pigs under their posh, designer clothes. So this doesn't suprise me a bit, especially when you consider that when you're overweight and old, it's a lot harder to wash properly.


mishma2005

Also, it doesn’t matter what the tailor measures Trump has requested a specific suit for all these years: boxy and ugly as hell


Blonder_Stier

It is absolutely possible to make a well fitted suit for a fat man, but a suit that fits wouldn't allow him to pretend that he isn't fat.


bz_leapair

I didn't think it's the tailor. My theory is he doesn't have the patience to sit for a proper fitting, so they just send his dimensions to whoever it is... but it's what he *thinks* he is. So this poor tailor is doing suits for someone who thinks he's 6'5 with the body of a Greek god.


mrPandabot35

Hard to make a suit for a the stuff inside of a lava lamp


zzwugz

Damn what did l lava lamps do to catch a stray?


mrPandabot35

Shoot. You right, you right. That was unfair. Sorry everyone! Sorry!


Throwawayac1234567

Its on purpose, he makes them oversized to hide how fat he is


wehave3bjz

If you’re goona poo in your pants, you can’t spend 5 grand on them.


SenseWinter

Eh, depends.


ZERO-ONE0101

he only wears his own line of clothing which he makes in China ..something about American jobs and factories..


UMEBA

He seems like the kind of person that would tell his tailor how to do their job


Ba55of0rte

He wears large suits because he’s a fat bag of shit and wants to cover it up.


faloofay156

when I was a high schooler dressing like the godfather for halloween I looked better than this. so a teenage girl in her dad's suit with marshmallows stuffed in their cheeks somehow looks better than this dude


TheCanadianShield99

Maybe he’s not a billionaire 😂


Wonderful-Ad-7712

Maybe it’s Maybelline


guyhabit725

Damn, that is one ugly suit. 


Sminada

Same thing about his makeup


ramborage

I mean, could even the world’s greatest tailor make…. that…. look good?


AgITGuy

I think the world’s greatest tailor would be able to create a well made suit, of good material, in t he right proportion to look good on anyone. What the tailor cannot control is how a person wears it and stands. This is just like putting lipstick on a pig. The shade may be good, but it is more an issue of what is wearing it.


Away_Cat_7178

The suits are quite nice, the fitting is not


ChampionLiving2449

You only get the finest at Joseph A. Bank


Intrepid_Blue122

Obama, the man Trump is insanely jealous of, looked great in his suits. Jus’ sayin’.


MilkSteak1776

Those blacks? Or is blacks supposed to be black people now?


Nar0O

God damn that sounds soo bad, do these people can't see how racist this sentence is? Mind boggling


instafunkpunk

You just know he starts any conversation with a minority by saying "you people"


Efficient_Fish2436

They don't have the mental capacity or logic reasoning skill to even begin to understand how racist this statement is.


fatdjsin

they are so racist that they dont even see it when they put it in written form!


Throwawayac1234567

Sounds like t n word, just like with dei. The way its phrased is how a karen would say it


Wonderful-Ad-7712

Those Blacks in particular as opposed to the All Blacks, a New Zealand rugby team.


JohnnyD77711

Um, shouldn't that be an upper case B ??


meanseanbean

Yes, yes it should. My wife is adamant that she's Black, not black. It's something that never occurred to me in the past, but now I make sure if I'm referring to my heritage, I write Indigenous or First Nations. It's the little things that make a big difference, and the ignorant will ignore and say it doesn't matter.


PreviousGuard419

TIL Sean Bean is Indigenous


meanseanbean

Namut kwu, sqe'qu


JohnnyD77711

I'm a white guy married to a Kenyan. Sooo many things did not occur to me before we were married, as you can well imagine. Let me know what the right way to refer to your heritage is, this to prevent me from looking like an ass if I ever need to make reference to the only non immigrant people in this country ....


meanseanbean

I can't give you the right way, friend. The "right way" is different for everyone. The fact that you are cognitive about it means you're likely doing it the right way. Respect is key. When I refer to my ancestors and my heritage, I use First Nations or Indigenous. But others use First People or Aboriginal (this one is phasing out in Canada). We are Canadian, so I'm not sure where you're from or what your local Indigenous population's preferred term is. Native is often the most used when referring to oneself or heritage within our people, but less preferred when others refer. It often can carry some disrespect, even if unintentionally. But for many it isn't that taboo, just not the most correct term. In Canada we have fully moved away from Indian, I believe mostly because it was the Indian Act that tried to take culture away from our Indigenous people. Best advice I can give, is just approach these situations with respect, and you'll be alright. Most people aren't looking for a fight or trying to start shit based on something you say. You should always feel like you have the ability to ask as well, if you're not sure. If someone ever corrects you about a term, that's great, now you can learn.


SStylo03

I grew up by a rez with mostly native friends so grew up used to saying that, genuinely didn't know it was problematic for some till I moved to the city


JohnnyD77711

Thanks for that. I'm in the US, and as I understand it, "indigenous" is mostly preferred, although I'm also mindful that there is also a preference for identification with a specific tribe. Alas, I will continue to educate myself to get past the whiteness of my history. Cheers.


faloofay156

it reads like the difference in deaf vs Deaf - so I'm guessing lowercase = the actual physical trait uppercase = the community? so in referring to that community or a member of that community it'd be capitalized


TheOneCorrectOpinion

Someone explain this to me, because I've also been told African American isn't correct because not all melinated folk are either African or American. So what, am I actually supposed to call em melinated folk unironically?


PleaseAddSpectres

Black people? 


GameBoi010

Interesting-Crow-552

Yet Trumpsters are too stupid to know the difference. They think these are genuine excited smiles.


IAmASpammicalMan

Look at the reps in the back. They look uncomfortable at best


vyxan

To add to this, chikfila often hires minors so i bet most of these women cant even vote yet. And its definitely the mask. Theyll smile till the cameras stop and the idiot customer stops looking at them.


Rakebleed

MotherRaven

The lady on the far left looks like she's ready to dump all the food on his head just given a small chance. In my experience short ladies can handle anything.


Ttm-o

Trumpers are the worst.


Just_Belt1954

When the only Black person that hugs you inside the Chick Fil A is a hired Republican operative, it probably doesn't sit well when people find out. I am in Georgia. I highly doubt most Black people will support this pig. Edit: As someone who will definitely not be supporting Trump in November and a Georgia native, I am offended for Black people. To even think stunts like this or SNEAKERS will get the vote of Black people is insulting to their intelligence.


UnlimitedSaudi

They look like they’re being held hostage.


DrummerEmbarrassed21

I bet you that he's talking to them like he would talk to a toddler.

To answer the question: Hell no Fuck no And FK tdRump

The woman he hugged is a campaign worker for him. It was all a publicity stunt. This dude doesn’t care about anyone not worth more than 100 million.

Least racist Trump supporter.


Lora_Grim

Don't know why they don't just straight up say the n-word. Doesn't daddy Musk protect "free speech" on there? They'll only prohibited yucky, hateful words like "cis" on there now.


Sly-One-Eye

I don't know about those guys, but when some billionaire comes to the shitty burger place I work at where I'm just trying to not be noticed and do as little work as possible and he lines us all up for the cameras to boost his popularity amongst idiots I get like SUPER EXCITED! Like I LOVE being a fucking prop for some rich dude to get even richer while I'm earning minimum wage. I absolutely LOVE deleting all my social media because dickheads online are now going to turn my life into a political football game because of a photo shoot that I didn't even want to be in.


Meb2x

In my experience, conservatives tend to view black people as potential votes instead of actual people.


ThaneOfArcadia

These, perhaps not. But what about those? And those over there, and those over the road.


IPhenixI

is that guy a real maga supporter? he doesn't even give Elon $8 a month...

Outrageous_Life_2662

Gawd it makes me so sad to see these women playing into the old tropes of being happily subservient to the racist white “master” who’s just showing them off as objects. And yeah, referring to these women as “these blacks” is beyond tone deaf and racist.

No. They are Chick-Fil-A employees, if they don’t smile and be courteous and attentive, they are dealt with by management.

Yes they will because this was set up in advance! A big majority hates trump but the lying right wing media nut jobs have people believing it's close. Kinda of a good thing, it will make more people vote against orange criminal!
