    He should do a photo op where he gets the skull removed and has a hammer and sickle tattooed there instead.

    EDIT: Ok, looks like he went with a Celtic doggie-knot thingie instead.

      don’t hold your breath; he’s already pleaded insincerity about his old reddit comments where he’d called himself a communist.

      it might be more like this

        I really hate how I can’t immediately and unequivocably dismiss this as a joke. Sign of the times, I guess.
