Apparently, Trump did a half-face comparison with Elvis, a deceased popular singer and Gavin Newsom's response was to do a half face comparison with the dude described below.

Newsom fans at Bluesky are trying to excuse this as Newsom trolling Trump but they seem to be missing the point. Just read that fucking bio. Holy shit.

I guess some blue-no-matter-who supporters finally found their own version of, "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters, OK?"

And the side-by-side made Bates look like the less insane motherfucker! Like, who approved this? Who got paid to make this?

@Kalshann Yeah, that's pretty bad. Oh fuck.

@timberwraith He could have gone for Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne. He had options if he thought a comparison to Christian Bale was appropriate.

@anniethebruce Good point. But he had to go for the sociopathic killer role. Wow, what a lovely piece of humankind.

@timberwraith Honestly, I think Batman/Bruce Wayne would have been a better troll.

Maybe if Trump compared himself to John Wayne Gacy or something I could see some logic to the Bateman pick. I'd have advised against it because of course I would, but at least there would be some visible chain of thought.

That's what's confusing me here. Like it's offensive and dumb that's obvious, but I can't even see where he's coming from here.

@timberwraith Of course men misunderstanding the book and movie is almost a meme at this point, but if so I'm not sure I want to understand.

@timberwraith I don't like or trust him & hope his ass gets primaried. And I also worry that he may end up being the least evil of too many evil choices & I honestly don't know what to do with that.
