TRUMP is now calling supporters the TRUMP ARMY, changed red hats to camo, and now demanding to "Fight" against #BlackLivesMatter Protestors. I saw this coming from a mile away.

1. Trump is all about appearances

but discerning wisdom sees that there's really nothing, no real substance under the symbolic appearance.

Form is emptiness, and emptiness is form.
Form is no other than emptiness, and emptiness is no other than form.

-- The Heart Sutra

30. Trump is all about scamming his believers for a quick buck

He cares little that they look and act like fools or that he causes an insurrection.

57. "This is a great marketing opportunity! And the teargas made for a perfect ad!"

[Mr. Ected]

54. You could say that about the Republican Party in general

Aside from the mantras they preach and symbolism they call upon like dog whistles to the psychophants, there's nothing there. Empty words, empty policies, empty souls.

[Iliyah]

2. That is a call for civil unrest against the USA . . .

[Delmette2.0]

18. That is exactly how his base supporters will understand it.

They will pay out the $35, grab their guns and head for the streets.

3. Why do I picture the "Trump Army" wheezing a lot?

I’m just saying.

13. And don't forget about the elite Meal Team Six.

[geardaddy]

53. LOL @ Meal Team Six

49. The Extra Extra Big Red One

[madaboutharry]

4. This hat is filled with dog whistles and messaging aimed at the tiki torch crowd.

Trump wants to establish a fifth column to overthrow American Democracy. I don't think that is an overstatement.

[KSNY]

31. Absolutely right...he and they are planning to do this.

The DOJ, in the meantime, has decided to focus on "antifa" rather than "fa"

[sop]

6. I'm surprised they aren't selling Brown Shirts, so Trump's Stormtroopers could have

"something to identify themselves with...to let everyone know they are the president's first line of defense when it comes to fighting off the liberal MOB."

[forgotmylogin]

19. First he ruined red as a color for a ball cap... n/t

[jmg257]

7. MAGA love the black people! (Just not in their neighborhood). Cant wait till stupid ass clowns

wear these around a protest.

[PatSeg]

8. Exclusive Trump Army

Reminds me of the Minute Men in Sinclair Lewis's "It Can't Happen Here".

[allnews]

9. This sickens me. How low can these citizens go?

[Alpeduez21]

34. They enthusiastically support throwing

Children in cages. I’m these cages the children are malnourished and live in their own waste. There was no effort to identify the the children they are merely trash to these people. I think we know how low they can go. That should scare the piss out of us. Future election will consist of these ‘magats’ wanting revenge so Dems better vote and vote and vote.

[bullwinkle428]

10. Comes with a matching set of brown pants!

[ProudMNDemocrat]

11. Meal Team 6 will EAT this up.....

At least they will be easy to recognize. Today's KKK wears camo.

17. 4Fs?

14. I am encouraging BTS to sue

[TheCowsCameHome]

15. I'll take two.

One to shit in, the other to cover it up with.

(Old joke, I know. The first time I heard it I nearly fell out of my crib)

[Rhiannon12866]

16. Another money grubbing scheme

That's what he's all about.

[bluestarone]

20. AGREE!

Any fucking way to money from STUPID fucking people!

[Rhiannon12866]

24. And he's got a million of them - succeeded beyond his wildest dreams

I still believe he only decided to run so he could get those campaign contributions...

[malaise]

21. The only good news is that if they are anything like their leader

they don't know the meaning of discipline and can't even spell it. I suspect they will show up late

[AllaN01Bear]

22. seriously , he needs to be removed .

[Oppaloopa]

27. I wonder if there is any talk of this in closed doors of the republican party.

[Ford_Prefect]

50. They don't care about the implications if at all. Publicity is the game.

Their silence is all the answer we need to hear. It is their desire for the clown in charge to take the heat and dance for the crowds. If anything he's doing and saying what many of them feel and expect.

They wrote the script for this after Truman told the Dixiecrats to leave the 1948 convention. They took over the Republican party and have steered it further and further right ever since while attacking and eroding federal authority and public institutions.

The GOP are long past caring at all and very much into how far they can push this to their advantage. They do not see the public as voters, and citizens with rights. They see the whole country as an endless smorgasbord set out to enable their personal profit and power.

[Dukkha]

23. The Trump Tanks are rolling in!!!

[Oppaloopa]

29. No words

[smb]

26. They Need A Marching Song

Maybe something like....

BunkerBrat, BunkerBrat
Hides in terror just like a rat
He just moans, whines, and cries
Lame excuses and stupid lies
Look out, here comes the BunkerBrat!

Is he weak? Listen, folks
In a crisis he always chokes
Can he show leadership?
He's on a golfing trip!
Look out, here comes the BunkerBrat!

In our nation's night
He commits lots of crime
We must end this plight
Or we'll run out of time!

BunkerBrat, BunkerBrat
Hostile ill-tempered BunkerBrat
Wealth and praise he demands
Grabs it with tiny hands
Look out, here comes the BunkerBrat!

He had disgraced his station...
It's time to save our nation...
Kick out the BunkerBrat!

[Sloumeau]

47. This is great.

Should it be sung to the tune of the "Spider-Man" theme song?

[dalton99a]

28. Their fearless general

[Cha]

62. Perfect.. TY, dalton.

[Dios Mio]

32. What American company

was hungry enough to make them?

[Blue_playwright]

38. Made. In. Chyyynuh.

[Dios Mio]

39. Good one

I thought I was the only one that cringed when he attempts to pronounce that word. I can’t quite duplicate the sound but it swirls around in my disturbed mind.

[Baked Potato]

33. Crappy looking hats you'll only see at his rallies.

[ZenDem]

35. Didn't you see where it said...

"...do not pass this information on to anyone."? OMG...now they're going to come for you in their brand new camo hats.

You have to be a special kind of person to wear one of these. Can't just let anyone walk around looking like an official asshat.

[Sapient Donkey]

59. Isn't that a common theme in these emails?

Trying to make it seem as if the recipients are in some sort of secret elite club, and they have to keep it quiet because....well just because. I read an article about one they sent out a week or two ago, and it had me howling at how ridiculous it was. Damn, I cannot find the one I was thinking about, but it was basically saying how they were a special group of like 100 people or something. Came off sounding like a nigerian scammer email.

*Found a screenshot of at least one of them

[ZenDem]

60. BWAHAHAHA!!!

I wonder how many '100 club' members there are?

[Sapient Donkey]

61. I would be annoyed if a politician that I supported emailed me something like that.

It's an insult to the intelligence. Then again, many of his supporters believe there is a an elite group of military and government officials who go by name name Qanon that selected Trump to clean up the united states (or something), and that they communicate to the public using coded messages on sites like 4chan and 8chan. I suppose they are just playing to their audience

[Ferrets are Cool]

36. Disgusting and dangerous

[Sloumeau]

37. When the Trump Presidential Campaign came up with the...

"Make America Great Again" slogan and the "Make American Great Again" hats, the Trump lovers used the shorthand of MAGA (aka M.A.G.A.) for "Make America Great Again". Some of us then referred to Trump supporters, upon occasion, as MAGAts. Perhaps, with the advent of the newer "Keep America Great" or KAG hats, we should now consider referring to Trump supporters as KAGgots. That might really piss off the LGBT haters.

[duforsure]

40. He's instigating conflicts now

To use for declaration of martial law , and to use Barr to go after opponents or anyone not praising him, and making it a crime. He's trying to start a civil war pitting people against each other , then abusing his powers trying to criminalize his opposition. Putin does this also in russia. Watch pro-putin trump try to start lifting his sanctions very soon for him. He wants absolute power, like putin has. He also is desperate to please putin now for election help. I wonder why?

[StarfishSaver]

41. In a way, that's comforting - most of these idiots are so stupid, lazy and out of shape,

they pose little threat.

[djacq]

42. Most Racist POTUS ever!

[Sloumeau]

48. Perhaps we should refer to him as...

President Racist AF.

[lindysalsagal]

43. He thinks he's starting a civil war. He really does.

We won't do it.

[keithbvadu2]

44. No noose and Bible on the hat?

[UCmeNdc]

45. Trump is dangerous. He will do anything to keep his power. Anything!

Watch!

[NCjack]

46. But wait! For an extra payment of $35, you get the "666" tattoo on

your forehead. That is $70 for the official cap and official tattoo -- available only through TrumpCo.

[bucolic_frolic]

51. Trump wants it to be illegal to vote and illegal to tell the truth about Trump

Mightiest Morons is the answer.

[Buns_of_Fire]

52. Which toy company will have the nerve to come out with a matching

"General Trump" Action Figure? (Matching accessories: "General Trump" Cell Phone, "General Trump" Camo-Colored Pampers, "General Trump" Big Mac Box, etc. Accessories sold separately.)

[BittyJenkins]

56. This is disturbing

It will up their ego power. I really hope the military stands up to that turd snapper.

[greatauntoftriplets]

58. Made in China, presumably.

[Blue Owl]

63. Destined to fail, just like anything with the name "Trump" in front of it

n/t

[Rabrrrrrr]

64. Like the "guards" without identification in DC - now this - the SS has come to America!

MAGA - Make America Goddamn-nazi-run And-violent.

Scary as fucking hell.
