Trumpian Disaster Porn
Some dandy writing by a guy named Tim Miller —
President Trump attempted to hold an unmasked, indoor superspreader event in Henderson, Nevada on Sunday night, running afoul of Nevada regulations and his own administration’s guidelines. (Due to meager turn out, I have taken the liberty to downgrade it to a Category 3 minispreader.) This was Trump’s first indoor rally since the Tulsa disaster that cost Brad Parscale his job and after which Herman Cain lost his life.
Miller calls the Trumpshow “disaster porn.” Trump gave this rally to a small crowd while none of the cable news or CSpan covered it.
Think of it this way. The entire west coast is a’blaze, there’s a hurricane a’comin’ on the Gulf coast when they haven’t clean up from the one two weeks ago yet, we are getting close to 200,000 people dead of a virus and all Trump can think to talk about is Hunter Biden or that Barack Obama gave an American Bill of Sale to China and is now secretly living in some kiddy porn secret basement outside of Lincoln, Nebraska, dining on the rare delicacy of Republican brains.
Disaster porn. Here we are.
