In reply to the discussion: Trump banner on gov building sparks backlash: 'Welcome to North America's North Korea' [View all]FakeNoose
(37,851 posts)18. Clickbait headline - this is incorrect
The banners on the USDA building do not say that. Some political pundits were quoted making sarcastic comments, including the one about North Korea.
From the OP story:
The Bulwarks Tim Miller wrote: Its interesting that these freedom loving MAGA alpha males want to institute this deeply creepy 3rd world culture where we have a national daddy that must be obeyed.
Political analyst Rachel Bitecofer warned Trump is going to go full Putin.
Welcome to North Americas North Korea! exclaimed Russell Drew, a self-described amateur historian and political junkie.

No reason is right. However. Those who hung it "reason" that the felon's mug shot is a badge of honor.

I wouldn't stand behind that picture of the orange one. That could be target practice.

Perfect, the president that started land grant colleges and the one that killed them.

Yep. All fascists are, but in terms of sheer ego, he gives most of them a run for their money.

Could you imagine what Republicans would do if we had unfurled a banner of Biden like that? nt

Of course he wouldn't. Dems don't don't want to be like Putin or Kim Jong-un. nt
