Trump Is Now Mandating His Cabinet/Loyalist Wear "Trump Golden Bust" Pins [View all]

Last edited Sat Apr 12, 2025, 11:29 PM - Edit history (1)

*new information has indicated this was a on off scenario and not widespread.

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.

*So it's these instead of flag pins. I'll take 'thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image' for 2000, Alex.
