Mike Pence’s Fly Decided To Pay Trump A Visit

A lot of people including yours truly have had probably too much fun at Mike Pence’s expense over that fly landing on his snow white hair during that VP debate in 2020. Well Mike, you’re off the hook. Or you should be if what happened to Trump yesterday gets the attention it should. Of course, with journalists so cowed by Trump they won’t even ask him tough questions, much less press him with follow ups making fun of him probably isn’t in the cards. But by grab I will make fun of Trump over photos showing a FLY landed on Trump’s face while he was blathering away at his NJ Golf Cub yesterday!

Trump, ever starved for attention decided to hold another press conference. His campaign managers (and every Republican still possessing personal electoral survival instincts) begged him to use the presser that had been set up to hammer the inflation issue. While yesterday’s inflation report was helpful to Democrats, especially the Biden administration and by extension Harris there are some stubborn problems. Grocery prices are still higher than should be the case.

People have to eat after all so they do notice that some items don’t seem to have come down as much in cost as they should have.  So, the idea was to stick Trump between a couple of tables of items from the grocery store and have him read a speech about high grocery prices and how ‘he alone can bring them down.’ Then answer every question with harping on the cost of bacon and eggs which seem to have become obsessions. (I think it’s safe to say what Trump eats for breakfast!)

Alas, on the table next to Trump, right next to him in fact were packages of sausage and packages of bacon.  It was hot and they sat out there in the sun for who knows how long before Trump walked out his front door. Then he rambled on endlessly while those packages of fresh meat sat there sweating. Maybe the bacon packaging held up ok but you know how fresh sausage is packaged. If it sets out too long you can smell it through the thin wrapping. So can flies!  Sure enough some of them showed up and yes, one of them decided to check out not the sausage or bacon but Trump  himself. As the title picture shows.

Now, Trump being who he is no doubt tells the head greenskeeper at any of his course f**k that sustainable practices stuff. Use whatever chemicals you have to on the fairways, rough and greens to make them lush and green. And kill any insects from ‘crawlies’ like ants to flying ones like mosquitos and flies. Who cares if the runoff kills anything in the ponds or streams?  However, his Bedminster course has it’s fair share of patches of woods. Those chemicals don’t get used there because they would damage or even kill off too many trees.  Still, Trump probably figured that like out on the course, just outside his residence he’d be safe from flying insects.

Alas, Trump isn’t some guy to throw down with a crowd at a big bbq party. If so he’d know that flies are part of what one deals with, especially on the table next to the grill(s) with platters of meat waiting their turn to get cooked.  This is one of those times we can really enjoy the fact Trump has not a trace of “regular guy” in him. If he did, and spent any time at informal bbq parties he’d know even packaged meats attract flies. Anyway, given his obsession with the cost of bacon Trump probably demanded some fresh meat be included in the spread but the person who arranged it should have known to place it as far away from Trump as possible. Not right freaking next to him.

I really, really want that picture of him with a fly on his cheek to become viral.  He will freak the hell out because he has zero sense of humor. I’d say I feel sorry for the aide(s) that would get fired but hey, they chose to whore themselves out to collect a paycheck working for Trump so screw em.  In the meantime, the Secret Service should quietly assure Mike Pence he’ll get protection for a while if he takes a cheap shot or two at Trump over his own ‘fly moment.’ It’s not the first time by the way.  I’ve never figured out how to add photos to an article on Politizoom (Help Michelle!) but there are photos of a clearly visible fly in Trump’s hair during some event in Anaheim. And another of him waving and brushing away flies at some other event.

It’s almost like just as some people attract mosquitos more than others, the same is true with Trump and flies.  I used to routinely refer to Trump as a human shaped flaming orange rectum. Could it be that’s the case and he’s stuffed full of nasty, smelly brown organic matter?  Ok, so the more logical explanation is crap in his Depends but it’s still something to ponder. Here’s a sort of serious question however. Trump, who as I just said has brushed off flies bugging (pun intended) him didn’t seem to notice one sitting on his cheek. Makes you wonder how thick the funky colored makeup plastered on his ugly face was!

Well, if you want to read about the overall supposed ‘press conference’, all the stuff about Trump’s endless blather that had almost nothing to do with the economy (what it was billed as) but just another endless set of the usual lies here’s an account from USA Today. For my money the headline of the article, “Fly lands on Trump’s face during press event, echoing Mike Pence’s viral 2020 debate moment” is the only thing you really need to know. That fly provided the only new and ‘newsworthy’ moment during an otherwise waste of everyone’s time.

Yes, it’s getting at least some attention but it SHOULD go viral. I doubt the executives at major news outlets will let that happen so it’s up to blogs and social media to make that happen. I’m doing my part right here on PZ. I humbly ask those of you who are far more knowledgeable about using social media to run with this with your own take.  Trump hates being laughed at so let’s all do our part to make sure he gets laughed at the way everyone (including I’m sure Trump) laughed at Pence.
