President Velveeta plagiarized his inauguration cake.
A. Cake.
This is real life.
They took the man’s cake design like they are so low down
EVERYONE IS MISSING THE BEST GOSH DANG PART OF THIS STORY
THEY DONATED ALL THE PROFITS TO HRC!!
it’s cool that the bakery also gave a shoutout to the original cake designer
like they absolutely knew how shady this whole thing was and managed to handle it in the best way possible
Update on #cakegate.
Also? It was inedible. Made mostly out of styrofoam. Trump’s team specifically requested a knockoff of Obama’s cake that no one could eat.
What a perfect metaphor.
This whole thing has confused me for two days solid, because I couldn’t figure out several things:
1. Why would they copy the cake when they knew they couldn’t hope to prevent it being photographed and comparisons to earlier cakes being made?
2. Why on earth, in that case, an EXACT REPLICA when the baker OFFERED to make them something new/inspired?
The fact that most of it is inedible isn’t a shocker, most high-tiered wedding cakes are too (was the Obamas’ cake fully edible? That would actually be much more surprising). My parents’ multi-tiered wedding cake was two actual cakes on top of several more frosted “cakes” made of cardboard.
But I think I’ve figured it out.
I think Donald Trump peed on the cake. I allege Donald Trump peed on the cake.
We know he’s furious about anything to do with the Obamas and that if he has a chance for any kind of petty revenge he will totally take it regardless of how stupid it makes him look. Intentionally ripping off Barack Obama’s cake makes him look pretty stupid, and let me tell you, I bet he looked inordinately, incredibly stupid peeing on a fake Obama cake.
Picture Donald Trump, allowed into the kitchen after the cake has been eaten for a moment of privacy with his legacy. Imagine his red face a rictus of rage, like an angry, poorly-lit blob of half-risen bread dough, as he impotently pees on frosted styrofoam in some kind of magical-thinking spell that will make him someone most of the country doesn’t hold in complete disdain. Picture him trying to pee harder, as if it will somehow put him on even footing with a man he knows he can’t hope to emulate even in the most basic of mannerisms.
Hold that mental image in your head for the next four years and whenever you are tired of fighting, remember Donald Trump is so completely incapable of being a better person that he peed on a fake cake like a toddler.
Then go punch a Nazi. Do it for the poor fake cake.
@copperbadge ^^All of this. And yes Obama’s inaugural cake was entirely edible, because he deserved the best.
That makes sense, they’re a class act.
And they did have a lot more people to feed.
