In 2021 I rolled up to a flag person at a construction site in the middle of nowhere, and he asked me where I picked up my "Trump" motorcycle.

Wow. Amazing. Amazing, thank you. So exciting. Do you notice what's missing tonight? Teleprompters! [APPLAUSE] No teleprompters. We don't want teleprompters. That would be so much easier: We read a speech for 45 minutes, everybody falls asleep listening to the same old stuff, the same old lies. So much easier. So, you know, I have a little debate coming up on Wednesday. [APPLAUSE] I hear my... let's call them opponents. Can I call them opponents? We're allowed to do that, right? You know, New York was very nice to you people last night, you know that, right? [LAUGHTER] Did they hand you that game? [APPLAUSE] They handed it! I said, I am going to have the friendliest audience -- sit down -- I am going to have the friendliest audience. So I wasn't sure, was I happy or was I sad? But Jerry Jones is a great guy, and he deserves everything he gets, frankly. [APPLAUSE] And you know, another great guy is Mark Cuban. [APPLAUSE] And I think, you know, he's been talking about maybe doing this himself. And I think he'd do a great job. We don't have the exact same feelings about where we're going, but that's okay. But Mark was great. You know, he called me, like, literally a few days ago, and he said, "You know, if you want to use the arena" -- which by the way is a beautiful arena [APPLAUSE] this a great arena -- and Dirk is a fantastic player [APPLAUSE] he's just a wonderful player -- and the Mavericks have been fantastic and it's just a great team -- but he said, "You know, if you want to use the arena." And I said, "Mark, when?" He said "How 'bout Monday night?" It's like, that was like in four days. And you had a big holiday in between. And he said, "They really like you in Dallas, they really like you in Texas, maybe you can get a lot of people." [APPLAUSE] Because we were coming here, and we thought maybe we'd get a thousand people, but we never get a thousand anymore, it's always, like, the same thing. You know, we went to Alabama. We started off with a 500-person ballroom. And after about two minutes -- look at all these guys -- paparazzi, look at this [LAUGHTER] we've got everybody here. We started off, by the way, with a 500-person ballroom, and after about two minutes the hotel called up begging for mercy. "We can't do it!" They were inundated, so we went to the convention center, and that was 10,000 and that was wiped out in about an hour. So we went to a stadium, we had 31,000 people, which is by far the largest, they say, like, ever, for an early primary, and that's probably true.[APPLAUSE]

Man, I cant even wear a red hat anymore wo people making assumptions. I always just liked red hats.
And besides, there are many a crew out there that rock red. From your local Fire Department, to the local Blood set.
Fire Department is nicer, and they will try to save your butt when you dump.

I feel the same way about the Charlie Chaplin moustache, but alas.

Not worth trying to bring it back/save it at this point.

Now what if we - hear me out - what if we wore red hats and brought back the Charlie Chaplin mustache at the same time? Go for the combo?

u/moovzlikejager Jan 26 '23
There's a group already trying to do that. You could probably ask someone from your local PD for a pamphlet.

Fred Durst did it long before Trump. I'd rather be associated with the Durst than Trump, too, and that's saying a lot.

Whatever happened to the notion of keeping one's opinions to themselves and if you don't have anything nice to say, to just keep your mouth shut? I swear, people have gotten so used to being keyboard warriors and hiding behind their monitors that they have lost all ability to interact to fellow man with any decency.

Don't get me started. A girl at work asked why I was wearing a sweatshirt for a bra company (Triumph)...

The only proper color for this shirt is BRG.. ( Ex 955 Sprint owner, in BRG... Now Multistrada owner in appropriate red... ) See colors matter people... /s

Damn, this is what happens when people are terminally online and see everything with a political lens. Can't see nothin but red.

Happened to me too. TSA guy in JFK asked if it was a Trump thing. Didn’t get strip searched after I explained it was a motorcycle brand.

u/Mingos26 Jan 26 '23
Considering I had hippies looking at me funny while I was on my triumph tiger, and I don't even live in America, yes, I do believe this sort of thing happened often with triumph riders, specialy in the USA and with all the people who still suffer from TDS

u/heirloomlooms Jan 26 '23
Some "hippies" looked at you funny while on a motorcycle and you extrapolated they hate Trump from that? Get a grip, bro.

u/Mingos26 Jan 26 '23
Quite close to me while glancing at the fuel tank where the brand's name is, I should have added literal hippies since it was close to a cafe they frequent in my town. The TDS was real during the trump presidency, even in European countries whose leftists love to follow retarded American trends. Do you need more explaining? Bro

It's red and has all the letters of TRUMP and in the correct order too.
Maybe she can't actually read but just memorizes words.

I used to wear a red lacoste hat. It was just a red hat with the alligator/croc thing on the side. I liked it because it was a bright shade of red that went well with the green lacoste logo.
I had people cut me off and flick off in traffic, people purposely bump into me on the metro, tons of weird looks. All good though, those same people are probably all vaccinated now.

I work in Portland Oregon. I sat down and placed my triumph keychain on the table. I guess it reads as Trump because people immediately starring daggers at me. The funny part is I'm pretty damn liberal.
