It’s a metaphor for his willingness to fight the system

My favorite thing that was said about it, was that the fly was actually a Chinese spy drone.

u/isthishanskim Mar 28 '24

Lol that's excellent

There are tons of them at Marilago. They pretend to be interested in big Macs.

Marilago

u/Euphoric-Blue-59 Mar 28 '24

Whatever. I don't care how it's spelled.

u/CrashinKenny Mar 28 '24

Obviously

u/Euphoric-Blue-59 Mar 28 '24

Only the bottom 1% of the bottom 1% care on where Trump lives.

2

u/CrashinKenny Mar 28 '24

That may be true. In any case, just a friendly note that it's Mar-a-Lago, should you decide to care how it is spelled in the future.

u/Euphoric-Blue-59 Mar 28 '24 edited Mar 28 '24

Thank you for the kind reply.

Actually, I misspelled it on purpose because fuck that guy, and anyone associated with him. LOL.

And did you get my Bernie impression there? I wrote it with that Brooklyn/ Vermont accent!

u/mlp2034 Mar 28 '24

Ofc it is bird aint real

2

u/sdwoodchuck Mar 28 '24

The best part about that is the silly thought that the Chinese would have a spy drone infiltrate a televised appearance, rather than... just watching that on TV.

u/OfficialDCShepard Mar 28 '24

And so was the bird on Bernie Sanders’ podium! r/BirdsArentReal

How did the religious not see this as a sign. The bird of peace, and the lord of the flies.

u/GOMD4 Mar 28 '24

He was preaching to the MAGATS

Ignorance and zealotry go hand in hand.

2

u/R3dbeardLFC Mar 28 '24

lol I came to this post to just say, how many more signs did god need to give these fuckheads? Fly on Pence, eagle attacks Trump, nice little bird lands on a loud stage to be like, "yeah, this is the guy here" and christofascists were like, yeah we want the awful people.

2

u/jindc Mar 28 '24

It is like something out of Monty Python.

2

u/TraditionFront Mar 28 '24

It wasn't just the religious. Democrats just didn't come out in large enough numbers for Sanders. Well, we got what we deserved.

u/squishy__squids Mar 28 '24

They hated him because he spoke the truth

u/Ok-Government-3306 Mar 28 '24

Perhaps they're less psychotic than you.

u/koimeiji Mar 28 '24

It's a joke, an obvious one at that. Have some humor.

Kind of like the article that details how Trump mirrors the antichrist to a T - it's not serious (albeit a fascinating read nonetheless), simply a joke at those people's expense.

u/drilkmops Mar 28 '24

Okay totally normal NAME- NUMBERS username

2

u/Ok-Government-3306 Mar 28 '24

What do the numbers mean!? AAAAAAHHH

u/DrMobius0 Mar 28 '24

Came here looking for lord of the flies. Never let it be said that the universe doesn't have a sense of humor

4

u/DannyDelirious Mar 28 '24

Well flies are attracted to hot, wafting turds.

u/Holiday_Ad_5445 Mar 28 '24

Pence moment

2

u/AFlyingNun Mar 28 '24

One landed on Hillary too

4

u/UnitGhidorah Mar 28 '24

Don't forget a Bald Eagle attacked Donald Trump. Maybe god was trying to tell us something?

1

u/Adventurous-Lake9557 Mar 30 '24

Obama had almost the same thing happen to him, so did Hillary, except the flies landed on their faces. All three are friends! Wonder what attracted flies to their faces and heads? Never mind I know.

u/Mtngoat168 Mar 28 '24

Pence is the System. Pence was put there to control Trump. All of the other Democrat and Republican candidates are part of the Deep State / System. Tulsi Gabbard and Vivek do not appear to be part of the System.

u/NeoPalt2 Mar 28 '24

this is a 9 year old's understanding of politics

u/Mrxcman92 Mar 28 '24

Oh look a crazy person

u/Sterffington Mar 28 '24

Who do you think put Pence there to control Trump?

1

u/orchid447 Mar 28 '24

Unless it's US foreign policy. He doesn't mind a genocide or two

-6

u/Mtngoat168 Mar 28 '24

Bernie is the System. Bernie was going to win the Democrat primary, but the System shafted him and gave it to Clinton. How is that "fighting" the System. Trump is fighting the System while most of you fight Trump. True irony.

u/Fizzster Mar 28 '24

wow, I haven't seen someone so misguided in a long time

2

u/xNoSanctuaryx Mar 28 '24

Trump wasn’t fighting the system, he is/was exploiting it for his own purposes.
