McALLEN, Texas |...It's way past time. This guy is sick. In fact, as we've been saying here, he's practically screaming for an intervention. Help is nowhere near the horizon, however. His family and the rest of the country are letting this sumbitch go nuts right before our eyes.
President? How about psychiatric ward!
Republican Donald J. Trump remains a candidate for the highest post in the land. He's been there once before so you can't really blame the dolt for wanting a return engagement. Even Elvis would go back to Vegas every now and then. Same for birds after shopping malls are built on tree-lined land once their home.
No, don't blame Trump for his silliness and his seriousness. He loves his McDonald's Quarterpounders as the best America can offer and his openly-displayed racism as the worst.
Over the weekend, he kept going lower and lower on the loose-soil layers of our ragged society.
To wit: Speaking at a rally in support of Ohio Republican Bernie Moreno’s Senate campaign on Saturday, Trump seemed to offer an aside while speaking about the auto industry and how he would be a better president than Democrat Joe Biden when it came to dealing with trade and China: "Now, if I don’t get elected, it’s gonna be a bloodbath. That’s going to be the least of it. It’s going to be a bloodbath for the country."
Get the nurse.
We're sinking daily here aboard the U.S.S. Guppy. How much longer can the psyche grant this fool any sort of space. He's the avocado fart in the room, impossible to ignore.
Bloodbath?
Newsfolk are downplaying the definition of what blowhard Trump means here. Is he talking bullet-riddled bloodbath? Thousands dying? That threatened Civil War?
Pundits are going soft on him, by believing Trump was talking about the national economy. Uh, Trump means the bloody thing. That's who he is, a 77-year-old fuck willing to blow up the country and likely the world before he dies.
Take him at his word, America.
Donald Trump could not care less about the economy.
It's payback he's after. He lost the 2020 election and is steadily losing his fortune to defamation lawsuits and uber-serious legal entanglements. Four criminal trials and upwards of 80 felony counts.
Of course, bloodbath! What's the overweight sumbitch got to live for?...
