There are some seriously dystopian things going on in the Trump administration these days.

The most recent “WTF” moment came from Trump’s Federal Communication Commission Chairman Brendan Carr, who recently posted a photo at the US House of Representatives, wearing a gold Trump-head pin on his suit jacket.
Carr has worn the Trump pin in multiple X posts.
People noticed that Carr placed the pin directly where many US government officials often wear the American flag.
According to Yahoo News, a White House official denied rumors of the administration making officials wear the Trump pin, saying via email: “Obviously, we did not order officials to wear this pin. If they choose to wear one, it is to show support for the greatest President in history.”

As this person said, “how is this not a cult?”
“This can’t be real,” another person wrote.
“Once they create symbol and wear it on their clothes, we’re in big trouble. Oh wait.”
The historical context of this stunt makes it even more concerning, as world dictators have historically had their own face pins. For example, North Korea’s representative to the United Nations wore face pins of former North Korean dictators Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-un to a UN press conference in 2013.

In addition, the former leader of the Chinese Communist Party, Mao Zedong, had a face pin with an eerily similar design to Trump’s pin.
