I applaude the sentiment, but should say "cropped out of" since "edited" sounds like they had to use the clone tool to remove him from the center of the frame and spent more than 2 seconds removing him. Here's an pic from a different angle showing Trump way off to the right side of the frame:

Update: Just watched the video and Trump clearly tries to insert himself into the shot, and would have been in frame, but is escorted out of the frame, after which the photo is taken and cropped.

Looks like he’s in his “floating over to a freshly baked pie” pose once again

I've never understood that, it's so weird. People say it's because he wears lifts and I don't doubt he does, and women wearing heels do stick out their butt but they also arch their back to keep their balance. Which lifts the boobs, another plus, but it's mostly for balance. (Source: am woman, have tested the different effects of 4" heels and 4" platforms with a 2" rise toe-to-heel)

Maybe he's trained himself to "not stand like a girl in heels" and thinks he's getting away with it? Or maybe his back is unable to arch? The belly weight is the opposite of a counterbalance so that's not it. Could his cankles be incredibly strong shin muscles? No, Michael Jackson had skinny ankles.

It's a mystery, Scoob!

Edit, new theory: Diaper as counterweight

From what I understand, some forms of dementia can affect the limbic system, causing a forward lean. Combine that with his lifts...

Wow he really does stick out like a sore thumb for all the wrong reasons. Everyone else there has so much energy with the leaning tower of shitstack off to the right. He’s not even looking at the celebration it seems.

[–] subverted_per@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 3 weeks ago

Thats because this whole celebration is about him. He is the celebration. Should he not bask in the glory that would not have happened but for him?

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 12 points 3 weeks ago

Such a big loser energy being projected by President Lumpty Trumpty.

Nominative determinism. Got Infantino to deal with the infant

[–] modus@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I don't know how he wasn't instructed to stay away beforehand. He pulled the same shit last year. He thought the celebration was for him.

He looked like a confused dementia patient. I bet you could smell his diaper on the field

[–] Captainvaqina@sh.itjust.works 13 points 3 weeks ago

That's because he is a confused dementia patient.

Interesting that when the male team wins the World Cup, nobody tries to kiss the captain on the mouth.

There were widespread calls for Rubiales' resignation and structural change in the RFEF, paired with support for Jenni Hermoso – the player he had forcibly kissed on the lips at the final , and whom the RFEF was accused of mistreating following the incident – in Spain and from women's football teams around the world. The social movement caused by Rubiales' conduct and continued public denials of wrongdoing has been described as Spain's #MeToo movement; it quickly assumed the name #SeAcabó (lit. 'It's over'), from a tweet posted by Alexia Putellas after Rubiales' speech. Previous attempts by players using collective action to force improvements in the conditions of women's football in Spain have been either ignored or given outward but not systemic change.

The general unity of Spanish society in criticising Rubiales – including politicians from across the political spectrum – was considered unprecedented, as was the support of women's football from men's football players and teams. Rubiales subsequently resigned as president on 10 September 2023, later being banned from football-related activities for three years. A criminal complaint relating to alleged coercion is also being investigated.

The chance to kiss a hot Spanish guy, I guess. There's always next time.

Because homosexual people are widely ridiculed and heterosexual people aren't

[–] Kushan@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago

And misogyny.

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 78 points 3 weeks ago

The whole thing looked like a mix of the cringiest of Micheal Scott mixed with a “that was just one moment when we knew he should be in a home” story.

So fucking cringe.

Dear US Americans, the world cannot comprehend that this stain is still in office. It’s baffling that so many people still accept what he’s doing.

[–] statmonkey@lemmy.world 34 points 3 weeks ago (6 children)

It's more baffling that the rest of the world can't see how many of us are fighting and getting the shit kicked out of us.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 12 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (4 children)

Many either don't see it (they only watch our media snippets), or don't care to support it.

They just want to complain on the internet when something becomes inconvenient for them personally.

Most of these people are cowards, like the person that downvoted you. Many even help Trump by minimizing and belittling those resisting Trump to a portrayal of non-existance.

These people are little more than useful idiots for the GOP.

Dear rest of the world, please stop allowing your own wealthy people to invest in our stock markets.

The ultra-wealthy and corporate interests outside of the US are as loyal to the well-being of their own nations as those in the US are to America.

That is to say not at all.

Because Dark Triad Narcissist Trump wants to be seen with winners. It's why he was so chummy towards Mamdami when he won the NY Mayoral election that he even started dressing like him.

[–] Smeagol666@crazypeople.online 33 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It started with Home Alone 2. He let them film in his hotel for some screen time in the movie. The rest is shitstory.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 26 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Some time traveller needs to go back to the filming and make a stage light drop on his head, and save the world.

Something tells me that this image will be used in the future to teach about Trump's history, something like Hitler in the Olympics.

[–] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.world 29 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Fucking good. He didn't need to be there at all.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 10 points 3 weeks ago (5 children)

These MAGAs can't do anything to get any glory for themselves, so they have to hijack somebody else's, like Ka$h slamming beers in the Olympic locker room.

epstein files distraction. with iran war going badly, and the things like the jean E carroll settlement, he needed it.

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago

Bravo Espana!!! Congratulations too.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 14 points 3 weeks ago

He was there because he is constitutionally incapable of not making himself the center of everything around him. He's like a black hole made out of poop. So like, a brown hole.

[–] treesquid@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago

He's such an embarrassing sack of shit
