*new information has indicated this was a on off scenario and not widespread.
Theres a new dress code in Trumps Washington, and its straight out of a dictators playbook. Loyalists in the regimecongressmen, senators, the whole parade of sycophantsare now sporting golden Trump bust lapel pins, a garish little tribute to the man whos turned the White House into a shrine to himself. Theyve been quietly told to ditch their congressional or Senate pins in favor of this new badge of allegiance. Its not a suggestion; its a loyalty test. And if youre paying attention, its a chilling sign of where this countrys headed.
*So it's these instead of flag pins. I'll take 'thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image' for 2000, Alex.

(54,284 posts)Oh that doesn't seem like a tyrant regime at all!!! Yeah, I think Trump is insane.
Meanwhile, I find it interesting that the pin captured his gross double chin.

(3,141 posts)I imagine any one of those 3 pulling a Petacci. I don't think there is a woman alive that would fawn all over him with lust, I mean love and adoration like those 3. Although, after today's cabinet meeting, there may be more contenders.

(55,861 posts)for about $50,000 each. When the police find them hanging by their red ties in their showers I hope they are wearing this pin. Is there a cyanide capsule hidden behind the pin (just in case they need to copy Hitler's personal solution once they are caught)?

(1,372 posts)1) I'm sure the pins are made in another country, tariff them
2) What kind of a crazy do you have to be to wear a pin of his 78 year old mug
3) Please note that they are replacing the American flag with "pin
4) The repugs are now 100% crazy

🤮

(39,000 posts)Without anything beyond an image of someone wearing one to support it.

(5,709 posts)It may be true, but we don't have enough evidence yet. I mean, it could simply be another one of those ear Kotex or man-diaper things.

(8,103 posts)It's like a variation of the Nazi Swastika armband. I'll bet you don't get invited to his parade unless you're wearing one of these.
You can't make this stuff up. If he has that parade, he'll come dressed in some military outfit.
This is beyond a nightmare.

(920 posts)Trump's style has always been garish and gaudy. It is a cheap style that thinks it is classy, but is really vulgar and tasteless. I went to Trump Tower many years ago just to see it. I was not impressed. It was tacky and fake luxury. Trump has always been like this. The people that like him are ignorant racists who have bad taste as well. This garish gold pin is just more of the same. It is like putting perfume on a pig.

(15,348 posts)this story is coming from one blogger. (BoingBoing picked it up from him)
Personally, I'd hesitate to post it as anything other than rumor at this point.

Ms. Toad
(39,000 posts)Additionally, it did not seem that Trump's alleged order for officials to wear the pins had reached the president's closest advisers. Photos from Getty, a reputable picture agency, show high-ranking Trump administration officials, including RFK Jr., Doug Burgum, Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth and Howard Lutnick wearing either different pins or no pins at all during a cabinet meeting with the president on April 10, 2025. An official order to wear the golden Trump lapel pins would likely have included these individuals.
