Out Trumping Trump
THE ANTI-TRUMPER I MET ON FACEBOOK was a nice guy,smart, and his anti-Trump posts were right up my alley, often featuring highly factual therefore highly incmininating words of blame visa vis Don the Con. (I like that phrase, because the phrase: "Don the con" can be read to denote both "conservative" and "convict"). I liked the factual posts, but mixed in were a few too many gruitous insults, the usual stuff referring to Trump's weight, etc. I told my friend that his fact orientsd posts were far more effective, at least among intelligent people of discernment, than the insults, and suggested that he increase the former and refrain from the latter. He seemed to aaccept my opinion and to agree, but only reluctantly, grudgingly. There ensued a brief moratorium on crude insults, but I sensed somehow that it wouldn't last, and It didn't. He soon went right back to the petty insults. Ironically, he himself turned out to be be very senistive to any slight, perceived expression on my part of disrespect for him. When he went low, and accused me of being a "Republican troll", the friendship ended. I am now, through experience, arriving at the conslusion that in many cases I don't like progressive anti-Trumpers much more than I like pro-Trump right wing evangelical Christians, whom I loathe. Thus I retreat into my misanthropic self. Yes, I am among the surprisingly high percentage of Americans who state unequivocally that they prefer dogs and cats to human beings, for the usual reasons. Regarding one alleged human being in particular, my hate filled credentials concerning my hatred of Donald Trump are quite in order. But damn I get tired of reading and hearing my fellow loathers of Trump talk about his hair, his weight, his facial expressions. Indeed Trump's orange hair is, shall we say, a bit much.I have no idea whether he wears a toupe, dyes it, or what he does. I really don't care. Whatever he does, he probably ought to stop doing it. And, yes, Trump is overweight, and he lied about both his height and weight when he was mugging for his mug shot in his latest in a seemingly endlesss series of surrender arrests. But, as we say..so freaking what? Among Americans, who among us has never...fibbed...just...a...wee...bit about his or her height and weight? And just think of the number of people in these highly cosmetic united states of vanity who do a bit much with their hair, who make much ado about little or nothing, and whose hirsute selves wax just a wee bit over the top, if not off the top? And, finally and most glaringly hypocritically blatant in terms of the pot calling the kettle black, with probably close to two thirds of Americans either somewhat or a lot what corpulant, just who in the heck are we to be placing much if any emphasis on someboey's, anybody's girth, merely because we dislike the fat freaking bastard? Donald J. Trump lied about who won a presidential election, and he is still lying about it. There is no number of times too great to repeat that horrible, traitorous fact, and to condemn the sub human scum who told and tells the lie. And, incidentally, he conceived, planned, orchestrated and executed a criminal conspiracy to violently overthrow the United States government. Isn't that worth mentioning an infinite number of times? Every word wasted on Trump's height, weight, hair color, and his lies about them pale into invisibility by comparision, and are a waste of air time and human breath. And besides, do we really want to lover ourselves to the insultingly idiotic, childish level of Trump hemself? I would allow as how we do not. When the choice is between harping on the insignificant, or placing emphasis on facts of vital importance, and the facts incriminate the criminal far more than the
insignificant harping, the choice is clear; harp not, but incriminate.
