Ranting To An Empty Room

ACCORDING TO PRESIDENT TRUMP, more than one million people, perhaps as many as one billion requested tickets to his MAGA mob rally in Tulsa. At the event, the BOK arena was nearly one third empty, with fewer than sixty five hundred attendees in the nineteen thousand seat building, addled Trump supporters spreading disease and listening to their ranting racist icon spread verbal garbage. The staged area outside the arena, intended to contain an overflow mob, was empty, and was quietly and hastily torn down. The president is reportedly furious, blaming the media, protestors, and maybe the Chinese and the liberal community for his disappointing turnout, rather than blaming the true culprits; himself, and his vanishing approval nationally. As Trump sinks in the polls, his mob gang rallies lose steam. Ranting as usual, Trump spent fifteen minutes trying to explain why he was barely able to walk down a ramp at West Point, stumbling like a drunkard. He ranted for two hours, but never mentioned black lives matter, George Floyd, Juneteenth, racism, nor the Tulsa massacre of its black community in 1921. His only reference to the recent anti-racism protests sweeping the country was to accuse teh media, which he called "radical" and "fake news", of supporting the black lives matter movement. During two hours of spewing anger, hatred, insults and lies, the president offered nothing substantive, nothing positive. nothing productive. He articulated no new policy positions or initiatives to improve the lives of the American people, nothing to uplift and unite us, nothing to augment or justify the conservative agenda. Nothing but his usual venomous, hateful dishonest garbage. His audience didn't seem to mind, seemed in fact to prefer it that way,  as his morally bankrupt intellectually vacuous supporters invariably do.It makes perfect sense for a devout racist to be angered at people opposing racism. One hundred years ago H.L. Mencken predicted that under the current electoral system, eventually a complete bufoonish moron would be elected president. It was a most percipient prediction, and has come true.
