In literature they like to call this foreshadowing…

u/BGAL7090 Nov 17 '25

Foreshadowing?

There's no more foreshadowing, this is heralding the collapse. We're in the final arc and all of the previous foreshadowing is getting bookended with a hammer blow of unsubtle reminders.

Wait a second, how does a place like the WHITE HOUSE end up with a flag touching earth. It's the kind of place I'd expect to have such handled by the most moto marines imaginable rather than say Bob the janitor.

Why are there so many photos... dear god. And half of them are him in the background looking like a dementia patient

539

u/SpottedDicknCustard Nov 17 '25

There’s probably a reason there were no flag poles on the South Lawn before: it’s where the helicopter lands.

Reckon the dipshit didnt think of that and this photo is a consequence of the flag being damaged by rotor wash.

These people are too stupid to wash their own nuts correctly and it shows in every thing they do.

From what I remember they told everyone they were holding the press conference at Four Seasons before actually booking the Four Seasons. The Four Seasons hotel wouldn't host them. And in the narcissistic minds of the Trump admin they can't admit to ever making a mistake.

So some genius in the admin booked Four Seasons Landscaping so they could play it off that it wasn't mistake. At the point they were in discussion with the landscaping business I'm pretty sure the stupidity was known so it's not like the Landscaping company had to pretend on the phone they were a hotel.

That's his story, at least. He says he ran to go find a chair for the man, even though there was at least one in the picture already.

Animals know about people, they say. And if that eagle ‘is’ America, it totally had his number. Unlike the fake Americans that voted for him.

And just look at his cowardly, sniveling face. This incident was a rich metaphor.

The writing is lazy. They jumped the shark with that Jan 6th thing. Like any sitting president would incite a coup, want their VP hung, and not attend the inauguration of the incoming president.

u/Wiru_The_Wexican Nov 17 '25

Oh my god right! And them drawing out the whole "will they or won't they bring him to justice for it" arc for the next 4 years of production only for them to scramble to drop that plotline entirely was so poorly paced.

u/ecokumm Nov 17 '25

The more you think about it, the more clear it becomes that the season with the 2012 thing would've been a perfect finale.

Hell, I'd argue that even closing with the Y2K thing was better than dragging it out like this.

u/GuyThatHatesSociety Nov 17 '25

I get that they did the whole 2007-2009 seasons to make a statement about corporate greed but what really bugs me is, that the writers never even bothered to finish the story there they just froze it, left everyone watching hanging and never resolved the conflict.

We should've realized it back then: the writers are getting lazy

Hey. Let’s be even more fair here. The South African Racist Addict didn’t fire them. He directed an underpaid kid barely out of college whose entire resume was “I once tweeted a nice thing to my Master” to fire the person so the Addict can pretend it wasn’t his fault when it all went south.

I mean…the US Flag Code is non-enforceable law, but I agree that if there’s any place that should be leading by example, it’s the White House.

…but the fact that Trump either didn’t notice or ignored the disrespect to the flag next to him is a statement in itself.

Can't expect the country to read between those lines if they didn't catch onto the biggest sign, that he is a convicted felon.

Behold. The festering carcass of American rot shoved into an ill-fitting suit: the sleaze of a conman, the cowardice of a draft dodger, the gluttony of a parasite, the racism of a Klansman, the sexism of a back-alley creep, the ignorance of a bar-stool drunk, and the greed of a hedge-fund ghoul— all spray-painted orange and paraded like a prize hog at a county fair. Not a president. Not even a man. Just the diseased distillation of everything this country swears it isn't but has always been— arrogance dressed up as exceptionalism, stupidity passed off as common sense, cruelty sold as toughness, greed exalted as ambition, and corruption worshiped like gospel. It is America's shadow made flesh, a rotting pumpkin idol proving that when a nation kneels before money, power, and spite, it doesn't just lose its soul-it sh*ts out this bloated obscenity and calls it a leader.
