If Trump’s Superhero Is Who People Suspect, It’s Going To Be A Real Howler — and Flop

You’ve seen the ridiculous photo Trump posted and we now have a 14-second long clip, which is posted below. So who is this masked man, Donnie?

Or, maybe he’s not masked at all. Or, maybe not a man. The speculation is so deep you need thigh high boots to wade through it, and a bottle of tranquilizers while you do.

First things first. Take a look at Donnie’s promo for this savior coming our way in a mere 24 hours and then parse through who it might in fact be.

His poll numbers are at rock bottom. His announcement was a humiliating dud. Indictments are imminent. His family wants nothing to do with him. He spends his days sending deranged posts on his failing app, which is also under investigation. What a sad, pathetic, loser. https://t.co/R6HGCtRdKL

Alright, class, now we are going to play Sherlock Holmes. America’s superhero is likely, in all events, to be a person or a thing, right? Or a person, man, woman, camera, Tv, right?

If it’s a thing, Trump is going to announce his new MAGA party. And it could happen. He’s been disparaging everybody by calling them a RINO plus the conservative Republicans have made it very clear that they want to move on from Trump, the likes of Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney. So it could be the New Party, the MAGA party.

If it’s a person, let’s start with a man. It could be Kevin McCarthy. Seriously. Before you collapse in laughter, take a look at this. This is a real thing.

Trump is soliciting votes for McCarthy, whose allies have taken to wearing “OK” pins, meaning Only Kevin — or meaning merely ok, as his detractors are derisively interpreting them. And if Trump is phone banking for McCarthy, that tells you Kevin is his boy. Plus, Marge is supporting Kevin — so far. And you know that not even sunlight gets between Trump and his BFF Marge, right?

Both Trump and Marge apparently think that their endorsement of McCarthy will give him the MAGA seal of approval. McCarthy desperately needs the MAGA seal of approval. He’s not gotten it from Andy Biggs, Matt Gaetz, Paul Gosar or the rest of them and that is his problem, right there. There are too many Republicans who don’t want Kevin holding the Speaker’s gavel and they’re all right-wing Freedom Caucus people.

Now here’s the interesting part. Trump is not being the least bit effective in his phone banking, persuading Reps to vote for Kevin. It’s been speculated that Trump is doing this without Kevin’s knowledge.

So what Trump may do tomorrow is totally jump the shark (which means doing a publicity stunt in the hopes of returning a TV show to the popularity it once had — and that’s all this era of Trump has been, is a TV show) and announce that Kevin McCarthy is MAGA’s superhero.

What might actually happen is that Trump worsens McCarthy’s case, but he doesn’t think so. MAGA is his. MAGA will see things however Trump decides MAGA should see things. Ergo, if Trump says McCarthy is a MAGA hero, a a super one at that, MAGA will go along with it.

Let’s see. Let’s wait until tomorrow and see what we shall see. My prediction is that it will provide everybody with a good laugh and not rally the troops behind McCarthy. But I could be wrong.

I don’t think I am and I’ll tell you why. Even Gaetz, Biggs, the lot of them from the Freedom Caucus know that Trump has a shelf date even in the best case scenario. Trump will run again in 2024 and the best case scenario is that he’ll get elected. But what you see taking place in the House right now is beyond the election in two years. It is the Freedom Caucus making a play to control the House. And they’ve got a weak enough leader in McCarthy to where they have a shot at it.

So Trump isn’t all that involved in this. That’s why his announcement will fall flat, assuming that it is McCarthy that he’s going to proclaim the MAGA superhero who will get all the MAGA legislation passed. There’s a much larger agenda in play.

We will have to see.
