Trump Campaign Image — Thoughts?

I saw this poster for the first time today in a reply posted to an article about Trump.  It is a very well constructed advertisement, in my opinion.  Too well constructed, perhaps, because I find something disturbing about it.

Maybe it is just me, but in this age of entertainment where the most successful movies involve comic book superheroes, I can’t help drawing the parallel.  Does anyone else remember a campaign ad that is so blatantly braggadocio?  (This is probably not an “official” ad for Trump, but most likely comes from one of his supporting groups.  But, I bet it would be approved by The Donald.)

People are going to start expecting way more than The Donald – or anyone – can deliver.

If he is elected, he will still face a probable economic crash, an intransigent shadow government, a labyrinth of intertwined, entrenched bureaucracies, Congresscritters beholden to Wall and K Streets, the pressures of globalism, and an electorate deeply divided on world view and cultural values. If only he could “make America great again.” With some good fortune, he may make America feel a little bit better.

The ad is well done and he will love it.

It hits me as very NeoCon as he is holding a huge weapon of war and standing in a sea of blood. The eagle for those who are adept is not the honorable symbol you may think but in this case It seems to give a stamp of superiority (for aggression). The ammo around his chest could be symbolic as well as the money floating around in the bottom of the picture.

There is a carcass in the right bottom portion, hopefully that is the Hildebeast.

Way Overdone. He might have a had a Rambo attitude toward the NWO RINOs, muslim terrorist, illegals etc but not to that paintings degree. He would be about a 180 degree turn from the insane tyrants Obama and Harpy so just portray Trump as we do effective Wise Old Reagan.

Agree with Bea Lever and rhs jr. Much too warlike. People are sick of that shit, and the witch only made it worse for the U.S. during her time as SecState (Libya and Syria).

Trump won’t fall for that crap, nor this poster. His stances on illegal immigrants and Middle Eastern immigrants are not acts of war. They are sound pronouncements of his intention to protect our national sovereignty and the safety of American citizens. His view of Putin translates, to me at least, that he will make a good faith and likely successful effort to really hit the reset button with Russia, to the benefit of both countries and the world in general.

Trump needs to continue to make outrageous and hilarious claims such as he did on his tax returns, “Of course I used all the tax loopholes available. I know more about taxes than anybody else, maybe in the history of the world.” Really, Donald? Stuff like that tickles the daylights out of me.

The old Ronbo poster was about this ‘over the top’. It wasn’t a campaign poster, as it came out after the 84 re-election. I liked that one too.

Trump had nothing to do with it. Look at the cod piece. No way his huge cock would fit in those pants.

This wasnt done for trump, the original depicts george washington. People create these all the time, theres one with reagan riding a raptor with an uzi.
Trumps head was photshopped and his name blazened across the bottom, less than 5mins of work.

Looks ridiculous……..like it was done by the opposition. Same goes for Hitlary and Obammy’s “logos”……ridiculous.

It’s either Trump or we die as a REPUBLIC . Probably already to late but Trump would be able to postpone the financial ruin we will face.I like it .

This poster show what we “hope” he will be. Well, for TPBers, minus the war motif. It probably is symbolic of what most white Americans “hope’ he will be.

Maggie, With all respect, you are “disturbed” by this image of Trump because you are a woman. I do not mean this as criticism. Women by their very nature and as a result of evolution seek to avoid confrontation. As the smaller and weaker party in a contest with males, this is a wise policy. Women are also naturally wary of overt demonstrations of male virility (no matter how much it may thrill them secretly). Not to put too fine a point on it, a strong, aggressive, virile male may bonk them on the head, drag them off to their cave and bonk….oh, well, you get it.

This image was clearly created for dramatic effect and achieves it, albeit in somewhat corny fashion. There is nothing comic or corny about the true meaning of the image, however. The American nation is in a mortal struggle with the vermin who have managed to infiltrate almost every aspect of our national life. Trump, with all his flaws, knows the score and is clearly determined to drive these rats back into the sewers they emerged from.

This is a war, like it or not, and all Americans will be forced to choose one side or the other. There will be no neutrals, fence-sitters, or naysaying chicken hawks. Do you really think the swine who have stolen and raped our country can be reasoned with? That we can find common ground with them? That spouting John Kasich-like gibberish we will be able to avoid a ferocious struggle for victory by one side or the other. If you do, you are dreaming.

No, we can’t “deal” with the Domestic Enemy. The only way to “deal” with them is to smash their faces into the pavement, dislocate their arms as they are handcuffed and give them a hard kick in the groin as icing on the cake. The they can be put to work breaking rocks in the hot sun until they learn teir lesson.

American women will have to steel themselves for this fight and prepare to support the men willing to take up the fight. They will have to be as fierce in their devotion as any man but the men must carry the battle to the enemy. Remember, feminism is a Marxist plot to divide men and women. Reject it en toto, without discussion.

And don’t worry. We will win in the end.

Maggie, buck up. You always strike me as one of the more practical gals on this site. This disturbs you? It’s a drawing on the internet. Shake it off. You’re MAGGIE for god’s sake. The only folks that have anything to worry about in a trump presidency are the grifters, large and small. Don’t let the ron paul’s of the world disuade you, “he’s an authoritarian!”. Big deal, ron. You didn’t get the job done. And in the end, that’s all that matters. Go back 11 months. You couldn’t imagine that all kinds of wonderful things, a border wall, a a muslim ban, tearing up NAFTA, and hillary in prison would be on the table, front and center. This is the revolution you’ve been waiting for. You might not have gotten to pick the color, sorry.

Life is battle day in and day out. When the real crisis hit it is going to take someone of strong intense intestinal fortitude to walk the country through it if we are to survive.

The Donald strikes me of someone who will not sleep through the Presidency. He will probably outwork everyone on his staff. He is a 24/7 type of individual. He will be relentless like him or not. All the congressmen/senators and lazy bureaucrats better be ready to work.

I know people like Trump. They never stop working. EVER. They barely sleep. At a pool party…. It’s for a purpose…….. At the golf course…… It’s for a purpose. He’s a whole lot smarter than people give him credit for. The Washington establishment is not going to know what has hit them.

Agree or disagree with him. Trump is going to lay siege to Washington DC. So yes the poster/add is appropriate.

@Southern Sage and starfckr… you are most probably right that I dislike it mostly because I am a woman. I also dislike slapstick comedy, much for the same reason…It leaves such a MESS.

And ragman? Very good point.

And, yes, I KNOW it is just Trump’s head photoshopped onto the body, AND I have seen similar posters with other presidents heads on them, but not before they actually WERE president. I suppose it might just be that Nick and my son dragged me to the summer’s Superhero flick, Captain America: Civil War.

But, I still don’t like the bloody mess it looks like Trump is expected to create. Unless, of course, it IS Hillwitch.

The problem is that it is a VERY “Accurate” representation of the rest of the World’s view of America.

Not the fabled “Old” America that pretends to have been that shining light on the hill, rather the “real” America, from the Vietnam War era at least, spreading “Regime Change” / “Colour Revolutions” or creation of “Pretend but useful enemies” of wherever it likes, solely in order to appease those with the power, and ensure “their” steady income stream is not disrupted.

Maggie,
The “bloody mess Trump is expected to create”? Excuse me, but Trump may well have to deal with a “bloody mess”, but he will have done nothing to create it. He is the only man in America who has had the guts to directly confront the evil that has overtaken our country. As I said, this kind of thing makes most women wince. That is normal. So just keep quiet and let the bloody – but necessary – work be done. We are not taking this country back without dealing ruthlessly with the people who have brought it to this point. Many of the posters which encouraged our people to fight WWII were at least as corny and “slapstick” as that Trump poster.

I’m a registered Democrat. I don’t particularly like Donald Trump. But…

In my considered opinion, Hillary Clinton is a corrupt, thieving, pathological liar who is dishonest to the core of her being.

So, although he is not particularly likeable, I am planning to cheerfully vote for Mr. Trump this November.

A Trump Presidency may well be a disaster; a Hillary Clinton presidency is 100% guaranteed to be an unmitigated disaster.

I saw the poster on ZH last noc and said WOW. The Mr.
promptly put the poster on my home page. “Now you can
see it every day.” I am NOT for war, but I am for MEN. The
constant agitprop from the pj boy types are are turn off. I
am waiting for the men of this country to become a silent
majority and to strike/stand-up/and take charge when the time
is right. For all we know Trump is a phony…however so far I
am pleased with his comments and declarations. I hope he can
start to turn things around and move in the right direction. We
can’t expect everything to change over night.

@Persnickety, you understand perfectly why I could never vote for an evil creature like Hillary Clinton.

You are right – that woman, if she actually is a woman, is pure unadulterated evil.

What bothers me most about the evil witch is that so many Democrats cannot see the lying old harpy for what she really is – an evil, dishonest, lying, thieving, conniving old bitch who probably never did an honest day’s work in her life.
