Oh Donald, poor Donald, you’re feeling so sad. When you’re out of your bubble it gets really bad. And indeed that’s exactly the problem. As long as Trump is on Fox News or Newsmax or in the Oval Office where he controls the situation and the narrative, he’s fine. When he actually gets out in the world amongst “his” people, he finds out all too quickly that half of this country hates his ever lovin’ guts.
You haven’t forgotten the U.S. Open just a few days ago where he was booed. Mainstream media sought to stifle the boos but our salvation lies in the fact that we have the internet and independent outlets aplenty streamed live from the scene and so reality wasn’t muffled — or sanewashed to Trump’s benefit. And this scene has gotten out as well, but don’t look for it front and center on any network. They’re too busy quaking in their boots and writing settlement checks.
A panicked Trump asks for protesters to be removed from a DC restaurant tonight
The short, choppy motion with the arm is very Hitleresque. Adolf, too, got very twitchy and jumpy, especially towards the end. Wanna know why? Because bullies are cowards. They’re only effective as bullies when the tide is going in their direction. But the minute there’s opposition, they freak. My opinion on that is that on some level Trump knows how much people hate him.
And granted, some people hate any president. That’s a given. That’s the nature of the political beast. But it is zero exaggeration to say that Trump is far and away the most hated and polarizing political figure that this nation has ever known. Nixon was universally loved by comparison to Trump. To quote Adam Parkomenko, “If only someone could tell him to his orange fucking face that he’s “the Hitler of our time.” Wouldn’t that be satisfying as all hell? Well we’re in luck…” Hey, we take our wins where we find them, right?
You saw this on Sunday. Today is only Wednesday. And if we look at the calendar, this shitshow has only been going on seven and a half months. The protests are getting more intense and closer together, like the birth pangs of some social beast that is in dead opposition to the orange fascist and his regime.
Trump is finding it harder and harder to pretend that anything is in anyway normal. Of course normal by his standards means that the country is rotting at an accelerated pace. But people are fighting back. And frankly? If I was King Donald? I would worry about what was being served to me in a public restaurant. Terrible thing to say but we live in tumultous times.
Another social pariah was O.J. Simpson. People let him know what was what. There’s a famous anecdote about how he went out to a restaurant in Beverly Hills and people simply got up and left. They literally didn’t want to breath the same air as the man. And so the other patrons streamed out and Simpson sat there alone, rejected by the rank and file of humanity — or at least that portion of it that went to dinner in Beverly Hills. He got the message.
Trump is getting the message, too. Not that it will do any good. But at least we can derive some satisfaction from the fact that the boos and chants and insults rattle him to his core. Make no mistake: Trump doesn’t know anything about history but intuitively he can grok why Mussolini was shot and hung upside down with his mistress. And I’m pretty sure Queen Melania gets the picture, too. Back in 2017 Charles M. Blow of the New York Times wrote a piece, “The King And Queen Of Cruelty.” If Donald and Melania were going to learn anything they would have already. Unfortunately, they’ve only gotten more tone deaf and worse.
I have little doubt that the Trump party either brought their own food or had the chef under strict SS eyeballs in the kitchen. In a perfect world all the cooks would have shat in his meal and disguised it with ketchup but our world’s too imperfect for that to happen.
What “unspeakable things” can you do to burnt steak covered in ketchup?
Well, if anyone in the kitchen is a hard core fan of SouthPark the “Ass-Burgers” episode comes to mind. In it Cartman opens up a burger stand that winds up being hugely popular. Although the burgers are cooked in front of all the customers lined up, after they come off the griddle he takes them behind a curtain to add the ‘special seasoning.’ THAT turns out to be him wiping the cooked patties between the crack of his ass!
