Donald Trump is only alive when he has an audience or when he’s cheating at golf. Otherwise, he’s a sci fi automaton, shuffling around from spot to spot until that magical moment he catches a glimpse of a camera with a red light and voila, his raison d’etre, attention, is there.

This is a tape of the daily ritual of the Butterscotch Baron of Bedminster. It’s up to you to decide if you think it’s real.

Michael Wolfe’s latest book reported that Trump and Melania came down to dinner every night and sat at a table separated from the rest of the dining room by velvet ropes. Wolfe said that they were then feted like a bridal couple. No velvet ropes here and no Melania.

Now it’s time to jump right into controversy. Is the applause meter type screaming

  1. Real?
  2. Piped In?
  3. Paid For?

Before you vote, this is a daily ritual. Now, assuming that they are Bedminster Club members, one would think that since they see Trump all the time they wouldn’t feel the need to scream like this was a rock concert. That’s on the one hand. On the other, this is a cult and these people are crazy.

While you’re deciding how to vote, here’s a few voices on Twitter.

This is my take on it, it’s real but it’s staged, meaning paid for. Also, I would not be surprised if there is a little audio augmentation going on as well, make ten voices sound like fifty. Or, I could be wrong and these people are so thrilled to be there with Tangerine Palpatine that even though it’s a daily thing they just can’t get enough.

Maybe his handlers devised this as a means of distracting him from walking into weddings and funerals and grabbing the mic.

I suppose we could be glad that they’re not throwing their underwear at him. Maybe they’ll do that at his next rally, which is a cornfield in Alabama on the 21st.

Maybe this is how the GOP should run its primaries, with an applause meter and cheers. The result they generate can’t be any worse than what they’ve already done.

And if you don’t believe that Trump as rock star is a thing, look at what sonny boy put up on social media.

 

Yes, I know, beyond parody. Been saying that myself for years.
