That hat might literally be the most joke-tier, unbelievable, ridiculous thing ever in political history. Just the sheer blatant stupidity of it is hard to even comprehend. Like. Literally no country in Earth has their leader doing something that ridiculous. I remember back when the world used to laugh at the bizarro propaganda and behavior in North Korea. But even Kim Jong Un is doing nothing so ridiculous as wearing a hat like that. Can you imagine it? Him in some hat saying “I’m right about everything all the time hahaha losers”. Even in NK they know that’s ridiculous, they know it looks stupid. A population full of people born and raised in multiple generations of propaganda, almost entirely isolated from the world, and even the hard-core kool-aid drinkers would see that and feel their respect for their leader falter. Not all Americans are dumb, but the dumb subset of Americans may really be the dumbest of any group on Earth right now. Like I get that the hat is a “joke” and he’s “trolling”, which makes it slightly less stupid than if it was meant in earnest, but the thing is, like any multi-layer irony, it simultaneously is and isn’t what it pretends to be. I cannot imagine a real human being looking at that hat and thinking anything positive about it. Yet my fellow Americans continue to move my bar for stupidity deeper and deeper to the core of the Earth. Trump has done sooooooo much stupid shit yet somehow this hat manages to take the crown. It’s not the worst thing he’s done, but my god, it’s so stupid. You couldn’t even write a more farcical joke to make fun of it if you tried. How could you parody that hat? It’s already reached the apex.
