So many *ahem* interesting things are coming out of Trump’s Christmas event, and here’s another. This time it’s entertaining. Grampa comes as a part of the article, but it was too wonderful not to use. With no further ado, and somewhat of a companion piece to what Ursula wrote earlier, from Raw Story, here we go!
Political analysts and observers roasted a strange comment President Donald Trump made during a Christmas speech on Sunday. Trump hosted a Christmas reception at the White House on Sunday, which was meant to welcome the holiday season. The event was overshadowed by several tragedies (which you already know). During the speech, Trump weaved through a story about a doctor who went on a hiking trip to Peru with Obama’s daughters and was bitten by a venomous snake. “Look at how quiet everybody is,” Trump said to the audience. “You know, it’s funny. When you talk about snakes and things like that, people find it interesting.”
Now he’s talking about snakes. He seems to have this odd fascination with wildlife that comes out every so often, and it’s *so* random, it can’t be told when it’s coming. Remember the sharks? (Please read Ursula’s piece for the second one.) And now, snakes. Snakes are interesting, fun, and amazing, but some of them are best seen with several inches of glass between you and them, like, say, black mambas. Oops, now here I am talking about snakes. Call me Gramma. … ANYHOW, snakes. The online comments in the article are too funny not to share. Trump gets toasty roasted.
The moment sparked mockery from political analysts and observers online. //// “Ok, Grandpa,” history professor Waitman Wade Beorn posted on Bluesky. “I think it’s time for you to lie down.” //// “I swear we’re in ‘I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time‘ territory,” writer and activist Jeff Tiedrich posted on Bluesky.
See? Grandpa. It’s hard to imagine any grandparent saying that – except Trump as a Grandpa, and lordy 99.99% of people wouldn’t *want* one like that. It induces cringing. Stinky, crabby, old, decrepit, gimpy, grifting Grandpa Trump. Ewwww.
“Person, woman, man, camera, TV,” neuroscientist Kevin Wright posted on Bluesky, referring to a quip Trump made after one of his previous cognitive exams. //// “I keep wondering why Jake Tapper isn’t screaming about this s— from the rafters,” Elizabeth Cronise McLaughlin, founder of the Gaia Leadership Project, posted on Bluesky. //// “Gee, I wonder why he had to take 3 dementia tests,” Joanne Carducci, an anti-Trump influencer, posted on X.
The last one is a very close second to Grandpa. Just the whole thing was so entertaining, it was worth sharing after my baby rant earlier today. It will give me the gIggles for 24 hours, at the very least. And by the way? My grandparents were MUCH cooler than Trump. One of my granddads would even climb trees with us grandkids. And yes, I like snakes a lot. Til next time!
Friends, I know everyone begs you for money, especially at the holidays. I promise, among all those asking for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest working. We’re a group of old, disabled people, except for one writer in his mid-50s. The rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the chance to keep telling the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula
Mark my words. His blathering is gonna get worse. He has dementia. He is a malignant narcissist. I bet ya he’s already had a T I A or more. Please………a stroke would incapacitate him without any doubt.
