There’s a new dress code in Trump’s Washington, and it’s straight out of a dictator’s playbook. Loyalists in the regime—congressmen, senators, the whole parade of sycophants—are now sporting golden Trump bust lapel pins, a garish little tribute to the man who’s turned the White House into a shrine to himself. They’ve been quietly told to ditch their congressional or Senate pins in favor of this new badge of allegiance. It’s not a suggestion; it’s a loyalty test. And if you’re paying attention, it’s a chilling sign of where this country’s headed.

Forcing elected officials to swap out their congressional pins—symbols of their constitutional role—for a golden idol of Trump’s face isn’t just petty; it’s a deliberate erosion of institutional identity. It says, “You don’t serve the people or the Constitution. You serve me.” This is the authoritarian playbook, page one: replace symbols of shared governance with symbols of personal power.
It's a cult, people. It is a dangerous, vicious cult of personality, no different from those of Mao, Stalin or the North Korean Kim dynasty. We are headed for a bloodletting and, should it come to that, everyone wearing one of those pins will be a legitimate bullet-catcher.
There are issues with dress code for the pin... Should one also wear a
ReplyDeletecross should it be higher or lower than the pin, how about the
US flag pin?
Is it compatible with Pearls? Most the cross or other jewels be gold
or is silver allowed.
If one enters the room must they offer money or gold, and what knee
must touch the floor.
There must be protocol.
Eck!
