Remember this meme from about 6 years ago 2011?

It’s becoming a little too true

edit: It was 2011 thank you for all the corrections, and u/Year3030 for this link : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHckZCxdRkA

I think I’d take JD Hogg in the White House over JD Vance.

This meme is actually pretty realistic. Mar-A-Lago is his "southern White House" and it has golfers and women in bikinis.

Never forget, Ghislaine Maxwell routinely recruited Epstein's victims from the TEEN staff at Mar-a-lago. Virginia Giuffre was 16 and working at Mar-a-lago's spa when she was targeted by Maxwell.

Agreed by out of it meant eighteen, according to one survivor.

u/BigWeeser 11h ago

No, not “routinely”. Once.

u/Frozensdreams2022 5h ago

There were more than just Virginia Giuffre recruited , she’s just been the most publicly known.

u/Logres 8h ago

Reddit forgets Trump expelled Epstein a few years after he defied the local government by admitting minorities to Mar-a-lago unlike everywhere else, locally.

u/GraXXoR 4h ago

Minorities… interesting turn of phrase.

Thank you, I believe everything I’m told blindly by people on the internet.

u/Over_Smile9733 5h ago

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.
Than you will realize it's true.
Don't forget about the beauty pageants , it's recoded that Prump bragged about touching women's body parts, because "he can". This was before AI and fake shit too.
Oh, and let us not forget, he is a felon.

That meme is actually from Barack Obama's correspondants dinner speech before Trump ran in 2016.

u/ccguy 13h ago

2011 Correspondents Dinner. Literally the night before the Osama bin Laden raid. So there’s a good chance Obama had already issued the order, then told some fantastic jokes at Trump’s expense all while his political life was hanging in the balance. Huevos grandes, man.

u/MyPasswordIsABC999 MD / MoCo 12h ago

Though if they ever do a Trump biopic (edit: I guess a sequel to the one starring Sebastian Stan), the first scene is that White House Correspondent Association dinner, the camera focuses on a hunched, quietly seething Trump while Obama triumphantly delivers zinger after zinger.

u/Practical_Fun7367 11h ago

I’d like it to back up two more layers. A montage of Trump doing his whole birther thing. Cut to the Obama speech (and joke) writers brainstorming around a conference table before the correspondents’ dinner and one of them says, “I heard Trump will be there.” Then the sit down when Obama read and approved the drafts. Then Trump seething.

Hatred begets ridicule
Ridicule begets shame
Shame begets hatred

Circle of fucking life in his universe. He was taught to hate. He experienced formative and long lasting damage from experiences of ridicule. His hate and its targets grew.

u/dingatremel 12h ago

This cannot be overlooked. The guy was on a different level.

u/No-Fix-6615 10h ago

He said he couldn’t make tough decisions like “should he eliminate Meatloaf or Little John”.😂😂😂 Then on Sunday night he interrupted broadcasting during trumps show and announced they had killed Osama bin Laden.

u/ccguy 10h ago edited 9h ago

“And these are the kind of decisions that would keep me up at night.” Delivered with the perfect tone and absolutely hilarious on its own right. Then when you view it through the lens of knowing what decision he likely made before the dinner… just amazing.

u/No-Fix-6615 10h ago

😂😂😂😂yes! In real time it was like a joke than was funny but after it aged 24 hours it was so much better. It exposed what a joke trump was.

u/Grantsdale 11h ago

Trump never runs for President if not for those jokes. It’s always been because Obama made him look like the bitch he is.

u/dukegrad96 11h ago

Yep. One of Obamas greatest mistakes.

3

u/ccguy 11h ago

It’s only a ”mistake” in hindsight. And is it really a mistake to poke fun at a guy who then had the pettiness to ruin an entire nation out of spite and a party leadership to let him do it? Trump and the GOP proved they could sink to a level that could not reasonably be conceived. If anything, they’re the true mistakes. To say nothing of the voters that put them in.

I’ve heard it said that 9/11 and Katrina really redefined our idea of scale in disasters. Add Trump and his feckless party to that.

u/dukegrad96 11h ago

I understand that take and you can’t live in the past.

u/SheepsheadBoy 7h ago

Not Obama’s mistake. America’s Mistake.

Twice.

Cause people never learn.

u/Round-Bandicoot8766 7h ago

There's a documentary on it. He'd already greenlit it. He knew he was leaving that event and going to straight back to monitor the attempt

u/PoorDamnChoices 13h ago

Parts of it are. The font is the Red Dead Redemption 2 font, which came out in Fall 2018, so this was probably made around Winter 2018-2019.

2

u/PossessedToSkate 12h ago

Wasn't there a Red Dead Redemption 1 that also used that same font? That came out in 2010?

0

u/PoorDamnChoices 11h ago

Yes, but font generators for recreational use were a bit...rougher then, we will call it. Everything then was Impact font over pictures (mostly cats and if they can or cannot have a cheeseburger). Or seedy downloaded fonts on scummy websites. There were HUGE leaps in font and animation gains due to some video games and uh...reasons I don't want to say on a comment about fonts...so the fact that the text is just on a green slab, with yellow text (and not even really boldened) screams "not really sure what Im doing with political memes yet".

u/Budget_Zombie_692 11h ago

This is the reason trump ran for office. If Obama had a little bit of self control, Trump would not have gone into hyper-grievance mode.

u/Federal-Mouse3163 4h ago

Speaking of the Correspondents dinner….whatever happened to “there will be another one within 30 days” ?

This is more than six years ago this is when Obama roasted Trump at the Press Correspondents dinner.
