Welcome to /c/fakehistoryporn@lemmy.world , where fake history is made. Find a historically significant photo, come up with a fake history title, post it, laugh.

The name is a reference to the fact that the pictures should be worth marveling at. This is NOT a place for hardcore pornography. Tasteful nudity is fine as long as it fits within the context of the post (please mark it as NSFW).

Reality: Amidst a government shutdown, trump invited a college football champion team to thr White House for dinner. Which ended up being a boatload of cold Mcdonalds.

For me this picture sums up the entire Trump presidency.

Alternate reality: Trump solves global hunger

What a disgusting picture in so many ways. The most being the contrast to Lincoln in the portrait behind him. Convince me we’re not in full fledge “Idiocracy” mode.

Worse, the president in Idiocracy valued the opinion of people more intelligent than him.

Well, technically President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho only enlists Not Sure/Joe Bauer's help to fix the nation-wide food shortage caused by watering plants with sports drink (Brawndo's got what plants crave, it's got electrolytes) because they're starving and don't have any other options, and when he doesn't fix it within one week he gets thrown into a demolition derby against monster trucks with only a dildo to defend himself.

So I wouldn't say he necessarily valued the opinion of people more intelligent than him, at least until the prostitute from 2005 proves that watering plants with water (like out of the toilet) works just in time.

Great movie.

This picture was a carefully staged photo op, that Donald Trump wanted out there.

He also stared directly at a solar eclipse once.

Wasn't this for that meal they had for some football team that were guests at the Whitehouse or something like that?

Eating McDonalds is fine. But going to the White House and getting served McDonalds, is like getting a Transformer box for Christmas and finding a Gobot inside.

Yes, the fact that he's proudly smiling shows who this man truly is. That and the time he stood at a press conference in front of experts and suggested that he had found the solution to COVID and it was just injecting bleach. I just wish he'd tried it.

Because he wanted to see it

After ignoring people advising him to wear special sunglasses.

Also consider that at the time, the Trump International Hotel was mere blocks away, containing multiple high end restaurants. He chose McD’s, since he was such a billionaire.

[–] Lauchs@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Ha, never thought about that!

[–] FireTower@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He probably paid for the meals with gov funds. If he were to pay his own company with that money it'd create a conflict of interest. And if he was to have his own hotel cook then it'd cost him money.

[–] wahming@monyet.cc 4 points 2 years ago

Yeah, he's definitely wary of conflicts of interests
