This is just weird

Tim Miller from MSNBC called it “deeply creepy.” He added, “It’s interesting that these freedom-loving MAGA alpha males want to institute this deeply creepy 3rd world culture where we have a national daddy that must be obeyed.”

Many users joked about it, too. One said, “New scarecrow for farmers, right?” People also pointed out that if Joe Biden had done this,  they would’ve called him Stalin – given how extreme MAGA supporters can be.

But is this really just a birthday celebration, or is it something more serious? The Agriculture Secretary, Brooke Rollins, posted on X that the department is entering a “Golden Age” thanks to Trump’s leadership. She said, “The best is yet to come.” But the public’s reaction tells a different story.

This isn’t just about a banner. It shows bigger problems with how the government works under Trump’s influence. For example, Brooke Rollins removed all Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility programs on her first day as Secretary. She also made food stamps harder to get by adding work rules.

Politico says about 15,000 USDA workers have recently quit. The government is even paying them to leave, and the goal is to double that number. These workers help with food safety, farm loans, and internet access in rural areas. If too many leave, it could hurt programs that many Americans depend on.

Banners like this are common in places where people don’t have much freedom. They show power, not democracy. In many authoritarian countries, you see big pictures of leaders everywhere. It makes the leader look strong and above everyone else. That’s not normal in the U.S., where democracy is supposed to stop this kind of thing.

Also, the U.S. has never treated its presidents like kings or gods. The idea of hanging Trump’s image next to Lincoln—one of the most respected presidents in U.S. history—feels like rewriting history. It makes people wonder if the government is now being used for personal glory rather than public service.
