That was NONSENSE then.
It’s NONSENSE now.
Donald Trump hates the same people his supporters do.
Any time I spend a portion of my day considering the dark, noxious cloud that has become a part of the American landscape, and more specifically, the origins of this man-made disaster, I arrive at this place.
It’s as sad, simple, and as hideous as that.
Trump is a terrible president, and an even worse person. He’s certainly not smart, and is obviously ill-bred. He has done nothing to make anybody’s lives better but his own, and the billionaires who are carving us into pieces. He is using our White House to launder our money to fill his bottomless pockets, while spending hundreds of millions more to celebrate himself with arches, ballrooms, and tacky golden trinkets.
This isn’t even in dispute.
He’s a liar, a cheat, a pervert, and a complete clown. He tapes stringy fir to his head each day, and slathers his face in orange goo. He looks absolutely ridiculous, but nobody in his inner circle dares say a word.
Thank God this emperor at least has clothes.
He doesn’t know what he is talking about in almost any conversation, and just spits out random words and sentences that often make absolutely no sense. The minute somebody calls him on this, which is generally a woman in our press corps, he lashes out with the venom of a convicted felon and serial woman-abuser.
Our air and water is being poisoned. Prices are skyrocketing, and we are in a war with no way out, because he has turned our Pentagon into a bumbling mess, where cowards in uniform salute the crown or else.
And of course, he is doing everything he can to wreck our vote. Even that we talk about in all-too-casual tones, which really should blow all of our minds on a regular basis.
As I’ve written before, Trump’s ongoing attack on America is a national emergency and should be addressed this way. Right now, we are being forced to make plans for what might happen if our very own president violently comes after OUR vote in November.
Can we stop right there for five seconds to consider THAT?
Instead, we are fixated on all the other preposterous things he is into each and every day. Why just yesterday he traveled to Ireland to duck in some golf, and insult and divide the people there. The day before that he talked about bribing Republican voters, and then there is the never-ending projectile vomit about renaming lakes and attacking places like Greenland and Canada.
So what is there to recommend him? Why does your aunt, or best friend, or husband support this sickening maniac?
It’s the bigotry, stupid.
Plain and simple.
