Trump doses while the prosecutor proposes. Sleepy Don and the nap heard round the world. The old man and the see! Enter Sandman. The day of reckoning finally comes with the first ever criminal trial of a President. (trivia question)
Did Trump the mob boss glare the death stare at Alvin Bragg and Maggie Haberman? Never mind the media chatter, that’s the 9th grade Trump we’ve all come to know. If you piss him off, and you’ll get some childish visceral response. But as they say, “it’s a sign of the times.” This is where we are at on the road of this epic saga. Gone are the demonstrations and remonstrations. Gone are the happy times, enter the dregs and the rinds.
A seesaw where Donald Trump’s bizarre performances actually hurt the Republican Party. While the Republican House of Representatives shenanigans and butt monkey shines actually hurt Trump. As the Republicans try to soft-pedal their abhorrent policy on women’s reproductive rights, Trump brags that he ended Roe! (Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!)
Trump: Gettysburg. What an unbelievable battle. That was the battle of Gettysburg. What an unbelievable I mean; it was so much and so interesting and so vicious and horrible and so beautiful and so many different ways… Gettysburg wow
WTF? “So vicious and horrible and so beautiful?” Never mind identifying the pictures of different farm animals. We have serious departure, and the crazy ship has sailed with the tide. Who? Need I say it? Who thinks the battle of Gettysburg was beautiful? And could Donald Trump actually find Gettysburg on a map or just write it in with his sharpie? There, Gettysburg, Missouri!
Vote Loose Cannon 2024! Trump’s campaign is now based around his court appearances. Slowly, ever so slowly, the Teflon wears away leaving bare spots. Why did Trump take an involuntary court nap? Because court is boring. For the average low IQ voter, it is damn near incomprehensible and remember half are below that average. Which means for the attention span limited, their minds drift off to their favorite Dukes of Hazzard episode or NASCAR driver.
The Bismarck was a mighty and powerful battleship. But it wasn’t mightier than half the British Fleet. Likewise, Donald Trump is assailed from all corners and overwhelmed by the myriad legal battlefronts. Each inflicting slight damage, until the ship begins to slow and steam in circles. The good attorneys are all long gone, and they fight with militia and the second echelon now.
The other day the Trump legal brain trust subpoenaed the wrong man. This after Trump complained about not getting a jury trial in the E. Jean Carroll case. Trump didn’t get a jury trial because his lawyers failed to ask for one. Lionel Hutz, Attorney at Law. Fifty million dollars just doesn’t buy the same level of legal representation it used to buy in your father’s day.
Creating an enthusiasm gap among the simians. This is no fun, let’s watch wrestling instead! They still like Trump and will still vote for him if they’re not too busy. But a creeping sense of inevitability falls over them. Nobody escapes that many legal nooses. If they don’t get him for this, they will get him for that. Trump needs a new hit song, or he threatens to become a one-hit wonder. Singing the same old monotonous tune over and over and over. Trump must sing something new and sparkly to distract and entertain the simian simpletons.
Something to put a smile on their faces again instead of the same old boring old court cases and attorneys’ day after day. The same old grimacing, grouchy angry Trump day after day. Becoming the grouchy old man on the corner shouting at the traffic to slow down! Or yelling at kids, Hey! You kids stay off my lawn!
It is just one more step on the highway to oblivion. No bucks no Buck Rogers. Trump’s billionaire big wig stick up netted him only $50 million. Less than a twentieth of what is needed these days to run for President. These were the big boys who’ve got it to give and they ain’t giving it. Either they don’t believe Donald Trump can win or they are afraid that he just might. But not really, that pitiful total speaks for itself.
The bloom is off the rose and signs point towards oblivion, this way, one mile. Moving towards the end of the movie. The courtroom scenes are always at the end of the picture. And Trump’s delaying tactics will ill serve him this time around. The headlines today are just the same as the headlines from last week. Donald Trump is in court again today! Snore! Change the channel!
See the sky about to rain. No news is good news and there’s lots of news and it’s all bad. All narcissists require to be in control and Trump in court is not in control and so, you get the death stare. “Just you wait! Why, just you wait until I’m President again. I’ll get you, my pretty! And your little dog too!”
Sometimes even your best friends won’t tell you. The billionaire big wigs make the minimum pity contributions to the campaign. The Republican House will stunt and misbehave themselves out of the majority. Donald Trump will fail in both of his campaigns. He won’t return to the White House, and he won’t escape the law. The prosecutors have witnesses and video tapes. Like shoplifters at Walmart, they have got him dead to rights. Enter Sandman.
