Trump and Kanye West image on military meal packages?

In case it has yet to be brought to the attention of MRE (Meal, Ready-to-Eat) aficionados, one of the MRE’s newer bag designs of figures flanking a rifle stack features one individual who bears an uncanny resemblance to the military’s commander in chief. This is not a stretch of the imagination, not some discovery of the face of the Virgin Mary in a bowl of gravy-smothered mashed potatoes or a subliminal message burned into the flaky dough of a quesadilla.

That is a presidential silhouette if there ever was one, and an unavoidable visual connection that now can never be unseen.

While preparing to wolf down the succulent brown bag goodness 'adored' by generations of service members, Reddit user Ternarian was confronted by the stunning revelation:
MRE package design looks like Trump and Kanye sitting around a campfire.

The striking comparison is helped by the notion that the two have developed a unique friendship.

Kanye West has become an outspoken supporter of the president, and met with Trump in the Oval Office of the White House in October while wearing the recognizable “Make America Great Again” hat.

but seriously, just imagine for 30 seconds that either Clinton or Obama did this. The howls from the GOP and the mainstream press could be heard from space.

Same as how he thinks or just wants the Justice Department and other government lawyers to be "his" and represent him personally, he treats the military as his to defend him, carry out his dictates, and attack his enemies. Here the message is that he is both the "father" providing sustenance to "his" troops and that they are dependent for everything on him down to the daily meal. Disgusting.
