You Will Never Unsee This Wondrously Strange Fake Japanese Advertisement for Donald Trump
Slate ^ | June 16 2016 | Katy Waldman

... We could not resist getting [Mike] Diva, whose real name is Mike Dahlquist, on the phone.

Katy Waldman: You’ve tweeted that all you want to do is “make stuff that is pretty/funny/terrifying at the same time.” How would you break down the percentages in this video?

Mike Dahlquist: Honestly, I tried to make it as even as possible with those three things: funny, terrifying, pretty. That’s what I’m going for with all my work. Trump, of course, is already terrifying. Seeing his face everywhere has been something we’ve all have to deal with ...

It’s a very well done and entertaining confection. Not something worth analyzing or fretting about.
The video just shows how ubiquitous The Donald has been this past year. He’s been in everybody’s head in one way or another. We haven’t had a positive cultural moment like this for a long time, if ever.

The swastika and Hitler salute was a big clue.

This is like Yankee Doodle, which originated as a form of ridicule for the nascent American army. So, in summary, I’m glad to see that the Japanese are looking forward to a Trump presidency, as am I.

Maybe, but nobody seemed to get that in an earlier thread.

Why are you posting an anti-Trump ad on FR?

I posted it in response to this thread where several Trump fans thought that this was a pro-Trump ad.

No. It’s antisemitic and anti Trump. It’s offensive.

“I posted it in response to this thread”

So why not post it on that thread?

Because new threads always attract a larger audience on FR. It’s something I’ve learned over the years.

Agree. It’s more likely to help him with most that have a sense of humour. Monster vote, anyone? Taking it seriously at all would mean explaining away why at the end Trump flies into close earth orbit and not only destroys all of his own real estate but all real estate on earth.

Donald is one of those unusual people who leaves a deep impression. Even the Artist Known As Prince wrote some music about him. I say music, vs a song, because what Prince wrote was a long somewhat jazzy refrain, quite unlike most his music.
The piece was called; “Donald Trump:Black Version.”
The lyrics indicate that Trump impressed Prince as someone who could sell anything.

As opposed to Hillary, who's been stuck to the bottom of our shoe for the last 25 years.
