Allow me to introduce you to Trumpy Trout, the 45th president of the United Ponds Of America whose goal is to Make Fishing Great Again. This is an ad playing on Newsmax. But it is so totally weird, to use Tim Walz’s descriptor, that it’s got a lot of people questioning whether it’s a legitimate sales pitch or a troll. I can’t decide either. It is seriously on that borderline where you find yourself asking, “How did this become normal?” But then a great many things that didn’t used to be normal, like attacking a special needs kid having an emotional moment reacting to his dad’s wonderful speech, are now normal as well. Anyhow, take a look at the “gift” that might appeal to Lauren Boebert or Marge Greene, but certainly nobody normal.
Looks like a gaping prolapsed anus.

If you need a moment or two to pick your jaw off the floor, I understand. Now let us parse through this logically, shall we Captain? We have this object, selling for $59.99 unless you want to buy in bulk. Somebody created this. Now the question is, who would buy this? And yes, I do remember P.T. Barnum’s admonition, nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public. I guess we take it at face value, that somebody wants this thing and will pay sixty bucks for it, or we figure that even MAGAs have a limit and they too will laugh. Maybe we should flip a coin.
🚨The real question is….

It makes you wonder if there’s some sort of a grifter’s room, where people sit there and brainstorm glasses with embedded bullets or golden sneakers or bibles with the Declaration Of Independence or any of the other merchandising junk that we’ve seen. Maybe next we can have a cartoon version where Trumpy Trout runs from a shark and swims up to a boat, shouting, “Help me! Help me!” and Hannibal Lecter is sailing the boat and he says, “I have a big battery in my boat, Trumpy. Are you sure you want to get in? I might have you for dinner, you know.”
If anybody asks you when politics in America became a cruel cartoon, tell them it was when this obese, orange guy descended the escalator in 2015. Little did we know.
The creepiest thing about this is if you go to the website and actually want to purchase this monstrosity (I didn’t purchase, I promise), you get this message:
“By clicking the Process Order button you are placing a live order and agreeing to the terms of our 60-day money back guarantee and our Arbitration Agreement” which is a link to a long legal document!!
Good lord!! Is that a common requirement now to buy something on line? It seems so ominous! What is going to happen to your life if you let this thing into your house? 😱
I have purchased everything online, food, gifts, clothes, pots and pans, you name it. I have never once had to sign an arbitration agreement. Wow.
I’m having the same reaction as Tony Soprano when he saw the talking bass. God what a country.
This and the assassination bobblehead on the same day. Last week it was the glassware with the bullet. Oh, and Melania is publishing her memoirs. I wonder what that will look like, a behind the scenes tour of soft core porn?
have you called their 1800 number?
Have you? is it strange?
