*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.

1. Trump Is Now Mandating His Cabinet/Loyalist Wear "Trump Golden Bust" Pins

Do they also need to get trump tattoos or sign some document in their blood to show loyalty to trump?

That pin looks like trump and so it is very ugly

[electric_blue68]

16. JFC! Barf!

[PatSeg]

40. Oh my god!

Oh that doesn't seem like a tyrant regime at all!!! Yeah, I think Trump is insane.

Meanwhile, I find it interesting that the pin captured his gross double chin.

[struggle4progress]

52. And the people bowed and brayed to the gilded ass they made

[lastlib]

63. I've seen cowpies that look exactly like that!!

sans the gold, of course. More of a dark green.........

[LetMyPeopleVote]

84. Only a dictator would order staff to wear these pins

2. Lord help us

[JCMach1]

3. Mussolini had these... Wish i was making it up

This is fascism 101

[Buddyzbuddy]

45. Then he should follow through as Mussolini to the very end.

[Jack Valentino]

47. And the sooner, the better!

[Buddyzbuddy]

72. Absolutely

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

77. I wonder who would be Clara Petacci?

Loony Loomer, perhaps?

[Buddyzbuddy]

78. My guess is anyone of 3, Vance, rat face Miller or Johnson.

I imagine any one of those 3 pulling a Petacci. I don't think there is a woman alive that would fawn all over him with lust, I mean love and adoration like those 3. Although, after today's cabinet meeting, there may be more contenders.

[BigmanPigman]

4. I wonder if they had to purchase them themselves

for about $50,000 each. When the police find them hanging by their red ties in their showers I hope they are wearing this pin. Is there a cyanide capsule hidden behind the pin (just in case they need to copy Hitler's personal solution once they are caught)?

[Norrrm]

5. Where is the American flag pin the MAGAs used to whine about if someone was not wearing one?

Oath of Allegiance - Pre and post 1934
http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/the-fuehrer-oath

(before August 2, 1934)
"I swear by almighty God this sacred oath:
I will at all times loyally and honestly
serve my people and country
and, as a brave soldier,
I will be ready at any time
to stake my life for this oath."

The Fuehrer Oath
(effective August 2, 1934)
"I swear by almighty God this sacred oath:
I will render unconditional obedience
to the Fuehrer of the German Reich and people, Adolf Hitler,
Supreme Commander of the Wehrmacht,
and, as a brave soldier,
I will be ready at any time
to stake my life for this oath."

[kerry-is-my-prez]

25. The country is no longer of importance - it's all about Trump and MAGA.

[dem4decades]

6. I heard they were being called Peckerhead Pins in Washington.

[malaise]

7. Seriously sick shit

That is all

[Demovictory9]

10. Plus 1

[Jit423]

8. Real or fake gold? How much is he selling them for?

Trump is a sick, sick man. The only people sicker than he are the people who follow and support him. The asylums should be full.

[Demovictory9]

9. His ego is out of control

[Baitball Blogger]

11. He is insane.

[kacekwl]

36. No, the ones who wear them are insane.

At least we know who the ass kissers are without a scorecard.

[dalton99a]

12. Fascists love this shit

[Vinca]

13. We need a competing pin. Any ideas? A gold straitjacket maybe?

[Norrrm]

30. Use this view.

[Abolishinist]

41. That was my initial thought as well.

We could change them on a weekly basis!

[Jack Valentino]

50. A golden pig for them--- leave the US flag for Us! I was getting tired of those false patriots wearing them

anyway.

[area51]

67. Not a pin, but here's a reference to Goldwater.

[Hekate]

74. I remember that riposte to the Goldwater campaign very well...

In your heart you know he’s right — far right
In your guts you know he’s nuts

[Vinca]

83. Perfect!

[Buns_of_Fire]

14. trumpcrap dot com also sells mezuzahs

formed into a perfect likeness of *rump's perfect ass, to be kissed whenever one enters or leaves the house. (Or the Senate, for that matter.)

[Ping Tung]

15. Will they start competing for the top medals? Will they be judged by size? Weight? Color? Garish quality?

[Buns_of_Fire]

19. I'd go for flashing neon, myself. Light 'em up, boys. nt

[electric_blue68]

20. "garrish quality" 😄 (well done!)

[OAITW r.2.0]

29. When they run out of room for medals in the front....do they pin them on the back?

[OAITW r.2.0]

51. Anyone with that many medals should have died at least 10 times in combat.

Yet, they live. The Immortals.

[Rebl2]

17. Amazing how

Ugly they are. Very good likeness.

[BadgerKid]

18. Did the "I'm with stupid" T-shirts run out?

[kacekwl]

37. It's implied if

you wear the pin.

[speak easy]

59. "I'm with stupid"

[gohuskies]

21. The orange asshole is now in Caligula territory

He will declare himself a god pretty soon but all he really is is a gigantic boil on a living carcass’s ass.

[lindysalsagal]

22. Beyond Orwellian.

[Kid Berwyn]

23. Dear Fuehrer

I don’t pledge to a pledge pin.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

24. Cons put Hair Fuehrer over country. . . . . nt

[surfered]

26. It's all about the grift

[OAITW r.2.0]

27. He admires that NK dictator. No difference in their belief that they are special.

[fierywoman]

28. Are they made in China? Are they to match the gold gauche-ness he pissed all over the oval office?

[kerry-is-my-prez]

31. He'll be selling them to all the MAGATs. His crypto meme coins aren't selling as well as before.

The MAGATs with money already lost their shirts.

[C_U_L8R]

32. Golden Bust !

You can say that again. This bozo is a 24 carrot (sic) loser.

[OAITW r.2.0]

33. The harder they come, the harder they fall.

34. "And the LORD plagued the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made." - Exodus 32:35

[Mountainguy]

35. This is probably a grift

Hoping that if he can get enough people wearing them then the unwashed masses will fork over 19.99 a pop for them too.

[Buns_of_Fire]

75. Plus postage and handling, of course.

OUR GUARANTEE: Every graven image was blessed by Dear Leader's holy butt before shipping!

[skypilot]

38. I'm going to wait...

...for verification of this before commenting or getting worked up about it. Kinda not buying it at the moment.

[Nigrum Cattus]

39. Let's review -

1) I'm sure the pins are made in another country, tariff them
2) What kind of a crazy do you have to be to wear a pin of his 78 year old mug
3) Please note that they are replacing the American flag with "pin
4) The repugs are now 100% crazy

[RainCaster]

42. Urine colored Trump pin

As yellow as TSF himself.

[Judi Lynn]

43. Maybe his astonishing physical perfection should be memorialized . . .

The Golden Butt

[electric_blue68]

69. THAT shoulda come with A Warning! Blargh

[Kid Berwyn]

71. The Golden Glower

[Buns_of_Fire]

76. I see panty lines! (So did Cher, many moons ago.) nt

[LearnedHand]

44. Not giving the dictator a break, but I'm not seeing evidence people are being ordered to wear them

I'm also not saying that's not happening, but I just don't yet see any evidence of a mandate. But even CHOOSING to wear that golden mugshot is horrible.

🤮

[Ms. Toad]

55. As near as I can tell, this all came from one viral social media post.

Without anything beyond an image of someone wearing one to support it.

[LearnedHand]

56. Exactly

It may be true, but we don't have enough evidence yet. I mean, it could simply be another one of those ear Kotex or man-diaper things.

[Jack Valentino]

46. In their forehead or in their right hand ???!!!

I'd be more than happy to pin them into all of their foreheads...


This goes beyond cultish, it's the mark of the beast!

[EndlessWire]

65. That's what I thought!

It's like a variation of the Nazi Swastika armband. I'll bet you don't get invited to his parade unless you're wearing one of these.

You can't make this stuff up. If he has that parade, he'll come dressed in some military outfit.

This is beyond a nightmare.

[CitizenZero]

48. Roman Fascist Bust

Garish and gaudy. Looks like a bust like Caesar or Mussolini. Neither Caesar nor Mussolini ended well.

[Liberal In Texas]

49. Magat Maoism...

[Skittles]

53. MAKES SENSE TO ME

(replacing the American flag pin) - repukes put Trump above America time and time again

[D_Master81]

54. Not a cult

Definitely not something a cult would do for their dear leader

[Marcuse]

64. Definitely not a cult.

[Karasu]

57. How is this timeline even real? Someone overthrow this fucking cartoon villain already.

[bdamomma]

58. Hail

Caesar, and you know what happened to him.

[OAITW r.2.0]

60. Soon, all Trump loyalists will display there $29.99 plus shipping, pin.

Good to know who to stay away from.

[CitizenZero]

61. Vulgar Aesthetics

Trump's style has always been garish and gaudy. It is a cheap style that thinks it is classy, but is really vulgar and tasteless. I went to Trump Tower many years ago just to see it. I was not impressed. It was tacky and fake luxury. Trump has always been like this. The people that like him are ignorant racists who have bad taste as well. This garish gold pin is just more of the same. It is like putting perfume on a pig.

[LudwigPastorius]

62. Sounds like something he would do, but...

this story is coming from one blogger. (BoingBoing picked it up from him)

Personally, I'd hesitate to post it as anything other than rumor at this point.

[hay rick]

66. LOL

Loyalty now requires ritual humiliation. Next week they will be wearing a replica gold toilet and barking like a dog when Trump says "Speak!"

[Kid Berwyn]

68. Traitor of Gold

It’s gilded tin, fake, a fraud.

[William Gustafson]

70. Waiting for him to get a Kim haircut....

then start plastering his face all over the country... We will have to wake up to praise the Dear Leader, pay homage with half our money, and allow the Dear Leader to have all our women. We will look like North Korea in no time!!

[eppur_se_muova]

73. As I said ... convenient to have when you pick your nose and need someplace to wipe your finger.

Also good for draining those anal cysts.

[eShirl]

79. THEY'RE BUGGED.

[Brenda]

80. FAKE NEWS once again

One blog post about one bootlicker wearing a stupid pin is not "mandating his Cabinet/Loyalist wear"
the stupid thing.

Why does DU fall for these trolling attempts so completely?

[Ms. Toad]

85. I keep searching. That's all I find, too. n/t

[HAB911]

81. The king is insane

[3catwoman3]

82. Is this for real? That likeness, while accurate, is ugly enough that I doubt...

…TSF would agree to it being used. He fancies himself much more slim and trim.

[alterfurz]

86. worshipping the Golden Cow(pie)

[Ms. Toad]

87. Snopes Weighs In

Carr appeared to wear the Trump pin in a video posted (archived) on his X profile on April 4, 2025. However, on April 10, he instead donned a U.S. flag pin for meetings, seen in posts on his X profile. Had Trump or other officials ordered the wearing of the pin, Carr would have likely worn it consistently, or in addition to the U.S. flag pin.

Additionally, it did not seem that Trump's alleged order for officials to wear the pins had reached the president's closest advisers. Photos from Getty, a reputable picture agency, show high-ranking Trump administration officials, including RFK Jr., Doug Burgum, Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth and Howard Lutnick wearing either different pins or no pins at all during a cabinet meeting with the president on April 10, 2025. An official order to wear the golden Trump lapel pins would likely have included these individuals.
