Its so funny calling him just "florida man." If you ignore the fact that he was president, you can construe it as another one of those "gosh darn dumbass florida men" stories lol

He's even got the orange leathery skin just like all the other 70 year olds in Florida!

That's just makeup. He's not even a real Florida man.

Are men allowed to wear makeup in Florida? this makes him a drag queen, right? /s

Probably why he showed to to court without it yesterday. He looked like shit, even more than usual

a Florida Man poser, truly the lowest of the low

I really want this to be his legacy. People in 30 years going "man, did we really elect a Florida Man for president?"

[–] neo@lemmy.comfysnug.space 1 points 1 year ago

As a florida man, I take offense.

[–] hellothisisdog@yiffit.net 16 points 1 year ago

lmao i love looking at it from this context. no matter where you fall politically this makes it sound silly that he shouldn't be in trouble 🙃

[–] BigPapaE@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We should start a petition to refer to him as “Florida Man” officially

[–] delmain@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Nah he's a New Yorker who moved down here. Y'all can keep him.

"Wannabe Florida man from New York..."

This article is amazing. Factually correct, and entertaining to read. And who says traditional media is dead?

[–] AwkwardPenguin@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Isn't there a Florida man sub btw? What a man..

“Florida man high on bath salts caught eating Jared Kushner’s face.”

I’ve got a bunch more if anyone from The Onion is reading…

Is there any way we can pool our money and get Trump to star in “Florida Man”, a CSI: Miami knockoff in which he saves Florida over and over every week and we all tell him it’s more important than being president?
