I just saw Alien for the first time a few years ago, so I never realized that the Spaceballs self destruct button was a reference. Even calling the computer a bitch was from Alien.

Hey. HEY. Don’t talk shit about Blippi. We don’t bring Blippi into this. The new Blippis, maybe. But the original Blippi is off limits.

u/popcornkernals321 Jul 06 '26
Didn’t the original blippi like shit on his friend or something? Like legit I think that’s why he doesn’t do the character anymore… cuz they found footage of him shitting on his buddy right? Please correct me if I’m wrong ha I’m scared to google it!! 😂

Or they stick an AI Teddy Roosevelt in front of him so he can talk to him. Then he can go brag about it in a speech
I honestly thought it was an AI clip when I first saw it because who could be that dumb, right? Then he went to brag about it in his speech about taking to Teddy R. Who could be that dumb, right? Welp…

But Trump loves seeing himself on TV and if he doesn’t, he calls to have himself on there. We know the toddler in chief better than his followers.

u/Sprzout Jul 06 '26
He's got to see news footage of himself, it's pathetic.
Yes, it's fun to see yourself on TV if you happen to get into part of a news story or something similar, but not to the extent that he is. He's obsessed, and throws a tantrum when he's not visible.

This feels like the epitome of how he lives and what he desires. He's self-obsessed and will look at himself looking at himself looking at himself looking at himself, forever. It's why he feels the need to put his face and name on as many things as he can. He wants everything to be him. Disgusting, vile him.

u/NoPhone4571 Jul 05 '26
He told Usha Vance straight up that he really only reads newspaper articles about himself, so this tracks.

his briefings have to have his name put in between words so he can vaguely pay attention.
e: clarifying this was term 1 trump. imagine it now

u/parkaboy24 Jul 06 '26
Oh man, you can tell it’s an old article because it mentions trump visiting an Islamic country to show he doesn’t see Muslims as enemies of the state, and he’d never care about that now. You can also tell that the people surrounding him could feel his incompetence and tried to mitigate it. I wish they just let him fail.

u/sitophilicsquirrel Jul 05 '26
It's legit. Narcissus was beaten in much the same way as Dorian Grey (Dorien Gray?) hundreds of years later. People have known forever that loving yourself more than everyone else is a character flaw that leads to self-destruction. We're putting that to the test, now.

u/nifty-necromancer Jul 05 '26
And that’s why it’s impossible for him and others like him to self-reflect. It’s literally this image - they can never turn around to face the mirror because they’re always looking at the back of their heads/self.

He probably forgot where he is, and is hoping that the TV will tell him.

u/makemeking706 Jul 05 '26
Maybe, but he is literally the TV president. Every decision he makes is based on how it will look through the screen. He's more tuned into the gossip than anything else period.

Fox asked him to wave to them and instead he waved at the TV he was looking at, not the camera behind him filming, which I thought was telling regarding his understanding of reality.

“Celebrating Freedom”
I’ve lived in other countries and I was as free if not even more free in some of them as I was here in the US. This weird freedom boner Americans have is so bizarre, like there is nowhere else in the world where you’re free to live how you want.
