I don’t understand the point of this. It’s an electronic trout/Trump hybrid that wiggles and makes noise on your wall.
Is this a goofy gadget meant to mock Republicans? It’s ugly and I wouldn’t want it anywhere in my house. But it’s advertised on Newsmax? The world makes no sense.
Akira MacKenzie says
It’s what happens when religious devotion to fascist dictators meets American slob culture. They actually think an ugly Trump-ified version of the Big Mouth Billy Bass is a tribute.

Well we all thought Trumpy the Bear was a joke, but it wasn’t. They’ll just keep making weirder, uglier things until they find the line.

There should be a big bandage on one of those fins.

I recently heard that allegedly among generation Z cartoonishly distorted images of someone’s face is an expression of affection. Who knows? (And they should all get off my non-existent lawn)
Hemidactylus says
I remember Trumpy Bear. All this is tacky kitsch meant to show how completely degraded the purchasers are.

Suggested mounting height would really pinpoint the targeted audience. Head height is one demographic. Waist height, possible large overlap with previous demographic but with a gender bias. Sofa height, well we all know who they’re marketing to.

Might come in usefull if I ever decide to lose some weight. Hang this on the wall and my appetite will leave!

New halloween mask? It’s giving me nightmares already.
Or have the lizard people become fish people?

Does that stand for Quoted For Truth or Quality Family Time?

Obviously @9 not 2…

Don’t stare at it too long, it will give you nightmares.

Its actually a carp. An ugly invading species that destroys the environment and keeps on carping. Kind of like Trump. Lets call it Cyprinus trumpi.
macallan says
I’d like to think this is some expert level trolling, but it’s probably just marketing to the cultists.
So, Poe’s Law.

Off topic but Kamala Harris is speaking live at the DNC right now – live blog here :

The joke’s on us, then. I’m pretty sure that line is a projective line-at-infinity. The data are pretty much impossible to explain elsewise.

Why am I suddenly reminded of the Cthulhu Christmas song parody, “Its beginning to look a lot like fish men every where I go…” lol

If you’re a star, you don’t even have to wait. You can do whatever you want. Just grab ’em by the gills…

Ain’t Capitalism grand?
I hope this is the product of some satirical wag sitting around thinking “What’s the stupidest piece of crap I can get these MAGA morons to fork over their cash? Bingo!”
Captain Kendrick says
I’m not sure who would buy this either, but if someone does buy this, my advice is the following:
Keep it out of sight of J.D. Vance. He might violate it in some unsavory way.
Kagehi says
Might be amusing to a) pick up at some discount place, years from now, and b) reprogram to in fact sing that Christmas parody, using an AI version of Don’s voice, just for hilarity purposes.

I guess somebody took the challenge to design a Trump that is even creepier than the original.
