Imagine you’re Donald Trump.
Well no, that might cause terminal Sanity loss. But imagine the hypothetical of Trump’s current situation. By pursuing your instincts (on tariffs) and succumbing to the manipulations of smarter people (namely, Benjamin Netanyahu wanting us to go to war with Iran for Israel), you’ve betrayed your two core promises to voters, lowering prices and getting us out of forever wars. This latest forever war has choked off the Straits of Hormuz, raising the costs of fuel worldwide, which raises the costs of everything else, and maintaining this war costs billions of dollars we cannot afford and tons of munitions that we cannot quickly replace (in case say, China, wants to expand its territory). People know you’re hiding the Epstein Files. All of your minions, like Kash Patel, are subject to increasing scrutiny and ridicule. It’s gotten to where not even the cult believes you anymore. They’re actually asking themselves if the 2024 assassination attempt at Butler, Pennsylvania was staged. So what do you do to rebuild your reputation?
What do you do?
YOU STAGE ANOTHER ASSASSINATION EVENT, THAT’S WHAT YOU DO!
Because your brain is cottage cheese left out in the sun, and you’re totally incapable of original thoughts!
The current occupant of the White House made a big show of attending the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on April 25, for the first time as president, when he conspicuously refused to do so up to now. It was already reported that he would be there long enough to make a speech and then leave, which meant he wouldn’t have to hear any feedback or roasting from other guests. The impression given was that he was just going to use the journalists as a captive audience for his Airing of the Greivances. Press Secretary KKKaroline Leavitt told a reporter “shots will be fired.”
(In fairness, it does seem like she was only speaking rhetorically.) But then shots were fired. At an event where most attendees noted that there was a heightened level of security, which one would expect when you not only have the president attending, but attending for the first time in years. AND the Vice President and most of the Cabinet in the same room as the President. So of course shots were fired, thankfully nobody got hurt, and the suspect was taken alive. But of course Trump no longer had to give his one big beautiful speech, but he DID give a press conference shortly afterward, with little apparent stress, saying “I will say, you know, it’s not a particularly secure building, and uh, I didn’t want to say this, but this is why we have to have all of the attributes of what we’re planning at the White House. It’s actually a larger room, and it’s much more secure. It’s got–it’s drone-proof. It’s bulletproof glass. We need the ballroom.”
This stinks like Pike Place Fish Market.
Trump also said when asked why he was targeted, “I studied assassinations. The most impactful people…Abraham Lincoln…the people that do the most…they’re the ones they go after.”
Clownboy: Don’t compare yourself to Lincoln until you actually get assassinated. And don’t compare yourself to Jesus until you die and then come back.
I think what was really telling is when Weijia Jiang, the CBS reporter who co-hosted the event and was at the stage with Trump when the shooting happened, came back up to brief the crowd and told them that he was going to stage a press conference in 30 minutes and everyone laughed. And she had to say “this is not a joke.”
NOBODY is buying this.
Nobody, except of course the good little Trumpniks and robots who flooded social media pages saying “This is why we need the ballroom!” Bitch, who’s ‘we’? For one thing, the Correspondents’ Dinner is not staged by or at the White House. And drone-proof buildings and bulletproof glass are not going to help if a shooter could get through security with a longarm. So from now on, we’re supposed to have Our President stage all his public appearances at his Fuhrerbunker?
You do realize, Hitler only needed a bunker once the Americans had gotten over the Rhine and the Soviets were invading from Poland?
Cause again, the Church of Trump were already feeling betrayed over their Savior’s war of choice, especially now that it’s hitting their wallets. And a lot of them are asking about that Butler shooting, like, how is it that he had the Secret Service wait 13 seconds for him to get up so he could pose for the crowd before taking him to safety? Why was he wearing a Van Gogh bandage during the Republican National Convention the next week and then be fully recovered after? How could he get shot in the ear and fully recover when cartilage doesn’t grow back?
And now he’s hitting them with this?
From what we know, the accused shooter in this case is a teacher who voted for Kamala Harris, but the last two guys who shot at Trump had at least some ties to the Republican Party. And it may not be a good idea to stoke the paranoia of conspiracy theorists who like guns and “Second Amendment solutions.” Pretty soon the Boy Who Cried Fight! Fight! Fight! may get a real professional gunning for him and if it happens no one will care. Because as we see already, we’re primed for this.
Even the Trumpniks are smelling something. The rest of us of course already did. Speaking for myself, I don’t even trust Trump when he says his name is Donald Trump.
Well no, I take that back. I believe he’s Donald Trump, because nobody else wants to be named Donald Trump.
Yes, I’m thinking of you, Junior.
