A Spectacle Hard to Watch
Cheeto Jesus didn’t disappoint tonight in his appearance for devotees in Phoenix. He shoveled manure in copious quantities. A few of his gems:
- He reread his Saturday Charlottesville statement, but left out the “many sides” line.
- Announced that indeed his first pardon was going to former Joe Arpaio, convicted criminal and country’s third most notorious racist. (Number one is Cheeto Jesus, of course, followed by David Duke. Luckily, Duke is not currently convicted of any race crimes, so no pardon currently needed. However, since Charles Manson is not eligible for parole until 2027, Trump could well go for him next.)
- Lies again about Washington’s statues.
- He’s going to cancel NAFTA.
- The media is the real enemy that caused the violence in Charlottesville. That’s right, it wasn’t the racists wearing body armor and carrying clubs; it was those panty waist reporters.
- He was hoping to take candy away from a kid on stage, but apparently they couldn’t find a kid willing to go up there.
It was Trump’s normal appalling performance that we have come to expect and continues to make us the laughingstock of the world.
Well, they would be laughing if he didn’t have the nuclear codes. I just wish someone would tell this stupid sumbitch that the election is over, and he doesn’t need to do this (but for his insatiable ego).
