Is Trump confused?

Trump has an irrational fear of sharks.

Biden should use the Jaws theme when he comes onstage for the debates, like they might in a boxing match.

I thought, with Trump being the America-saving action hero, he’d bait the shark into attacking then do a flip over it as it lunged at him and electrocuted itself on the boat battery.

After watching Meidas Touch mercilessly skewer Trump on YouTube all year, I finally realized that what keeps the crowds* showing up is that DJT gives them a better comedy routine than anything on TV. It’s not politics, it’s entertainment.

*Excluding the paid shills, of course.

To me, I think it’s more like the Two Minutes Hate from 1984, only it’s a rambling, 90-minute speech.

So, again, right there is a good example. It’s a weird incoherent anecdote, but in 2023 you get the story he’s trying to tell. 2024 not so much.

2024

Dogs don’t sweat. But then, trump knows nothing about Man’s Best Friend.

Nobody wants to see Trump panting like a dog.

I agree, that’s a really good juxtaposition. It’ll be interesting if he tells that story again in a couple of months. Maybe it will be absent any verbs.

Given the war on pronouns can verbs dare to think themselves safe?

First they came for the pronouns, but I did not speak out…

Then came for the verbs, but did not speak out…

Then for the adverbs, but not…

…trafficking?

@Smapti, are you writing for another site now?
Y’all take this quiz and see how you do (I did terrible). I’ll tell you there’s more fake ones than real ones but they all sounded like DJT to me.

Dark Brandon strikes again.

Here is the final bit that puts it into a policy context.

But you know what I’d do if there was a shark or you get electrocuted? I’ll take electrocution every single time. I’m not getting near the shark. So we’re going to end that, we’re going to end it for boats, we’re going to end it for trucks.

So its anti electric vehicle because if you are on a boat with a battery you might have to choose between getting electocuted or eaten by shark. Which is why we shouldn’t have electric trucks because there are all these sharks on the interstate… (Ok maybe it doesn’t provide context)

Also given that he has already established that getting electrocuted is better than being eaten by a shark, isn’t that a reason in favor of electric boats? Since if the boat is sinking it gives you an opportunity to euthanize yourself before the shark gets to you.

Being a Trump supporter is like watching an action film. Shut off your brain, don’t ask questions, and just enjoy it.

Land sharks.

Shark an’ ado!
