There is only one way to live
Muhammad Sabir is the founder of Slumabad, an organization that works to give homeless children access to education and economic opportunities. He posted a photo on Facebook yesterday and asked people to share it.
Please share it onward
ہم ایک گھر کے لیے خوار اور حاکم شہر
شمار گنبد و محراب کرتا رہتا تھاThis photo tells a story of poverty, inequality and deprivation of basic human dignity and rights. It puts all human development in question and asks basic simple questions from us:
Can we call ourselves civilized, while we see our fellow human beings living on footpath like animals?
Is there only one way to live left for millions of deprived souls?
کہ ہم غریب ہوئے ہیں انہیں کی دولت سے
Let us hope sun also rises for marginalized souls, I mean sun of equality, development and justice.
[It’s a billboard advertising Trump Tower Mumbai, with a big photo of Trump and the text “THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO LIVE. THE TRUMP WAY.”]
Who is the better human being? Donald Trump or Muhammad Sabir?
Bloody hell, most condo ads I’ve seen show the happy shiny people who are supposedly going to live there. And maybe that’s a problem in its own way, but showing a pic of the developer? WTF?
Well Trump became a Brand – I guess mostly thanks to The Apprentice? People pay him millions to stick his name on their buildings, so I guess a picture of him on the billboard sells condos.
Maybe he’s in the process of destroying his brand now. We can hope so.
He was in the process of destroying his brand, then he got elected thus improving the worth of that brand.
Can he get back on track to destroying it again? Getting booted out of office oughta do it…
Trump is a human being?
If your basic assumption is that humans are terrible then he’s a paragon of humanity.
Look at the size of his hands! There’s some serious photoshopping going on there, compared to the original:

Spot the difference… It looks like they’ve squared-off his already overly padded shoulders and shrunk his head.

Oh, since well before that. Making himself a Brand has been his schtick since he began his career.
His self-named board game came out in 1989. Check out the commercial:

Major photoshopping. Thinned his face and taken kilos and years off him. Have given him smoother shoulders and arms for a well tailored and slimmer silhouette. Not sure about his hands. I’ve never understood why someone with his wealth and supposed taste wears suits that look like a potato sack, unless of course his physique actually resembles a sack of potatoes. Even then a good tailor can do wonders.
President Slumlord.
@ Rob:
It looks like he could cover his entire face with his palm and hands look almost as long his left foot – shoe included. I know the field of view can make a big difference, but compare him to the headline image here:

He looks lumpy as a sack of spuds, as you mentioned, and look how big his head is in comparison to his shoulder width and hands in the poster. I can’t wait to see the heroic scale statues of him, with shoulders five bloated heads width wide…
It looks like Doonesbury is going for a hands icon for Trump, along with the nickname Herr Gropenführer.

Sackbut, the hand and title you reference in the comic are pointed at Arnold Schwarzenegger, who’s been tapped as Herr Bäbyführer’s replacement on The Apprentice.
If only they could switch places… that’d be a step up…
Ah. Thanks. Sorry for the confusion.
That’s a relief. I was afraid they might go for someone who had never molested any women.
