Trump has been so wacky lately that no one has really focused on his fashion choices. I didn’t know this, but sometimes he wears other lapel pins in addition to his Presidential Costume flag pin.
I suppose I could say it’s like Secretary of State Madeline Albright, who was famous for her brooch diplomacy as a gesture of goodwill.
To be fair, once he did wear a pin with the Canadian and US flags intertwined when he met with the Canadian Prime Minister.
But now he’s just being weird about it.
He recently wore two pins on his lapel.
One was the uniform flag pin.
(Side note, all those political flag pins will have to be upgraded is he actually turns Greenland into state #51. I just heard that in a recent poll ONLY 71% of Americans thought this was a bad idea. (Side-side note: “Seriously kikkuupput taakku idiotit“ is how you say “Seriously, who are these idiots” in Kalaallisut/Greenlandic.))
The other pin in the photo above is wearing what he called a “Happy Trump Pin.”
Not happy Trump. Pouty, fists curled Trump.
So perhaps one of the people who I pray are controlling Trump may have said, “Wear this pin when you feel like ranting.” It could be.
It made me think of the Shoe Dude when I worked at the old job, who compulsively told every woman that she was wearing nice shoes.
I don’t think I put the coda on that tale: he just ended up wearing a paper tag that just said “Shoes”. I assumed it was a compromise with his management where he could express the compulsive thoughts without saying them out loud. (Side note: Perhaps I need this.)
What other pins could we get for Trump? If we just gave him a Greenland pin would he stop talking about Greenland?
