RUDE PUNDIT: We are watching last days of Jonestown here right now

A Weary Nation Watches Trump and Asks, "What the Hell Was That?"

Today, President Donald Trump, who is really just three hogs stacked on top of each other while wearing a trash bag with a tie, called a White House Rose Garden "press conference," the ostensible purpose of which was to announce some half-cocked new way to punish China for trade shit. I'm not going to bother trying to figure out our trade relationship with China because it ain't something that I can comprehend, and that's what makes you a goddamn adult: the willingness to say, "I don't fuckin' know about this," not "I know more than anyone" as a way to hide your blinding ignorance.

...................

We are watching last days of Jonestown here right now. And I just wanna ask Trump voters (or maybe I don't because I know what the answer will be): How do you trust someone who says this shit? How do you say that this is the man you will follow off a cliff? You fucking know he'd tell you to jump and, yes, absolutely, he'll be right behind; Trump's not even a good cult leader. But they'd be fine leaping anyways if he told them to. Because he told them to.

What the hell was that? It was the soliloquy at the beginning of Act V of our national tragedy.

1. Brilliant!!

[Demovictory9]

2. This!

No. It doesn't. It's a waste of time to make the effort (sorry, Daniel Dale). Trump's slavering idiot hordes actually believe he's telling the truth. People around Trump who know better stay silent or continue to back the lies. And the rest of us with, you know, eyes, ears, and non-Adderall-fucked brains understand that Trump's going to lie, he's lying now, and he's nothing but lies and scams and failure. He repeats lies even after they're shown not to be lies

11. You highlighted what I think is his one grammar mistake

I love Rude, but I'm looking at this line:
"He repeats lies even after they're shown not to be lies"

Wouldn't that be: He repeats lies even after they're shown to be lies

Or did I miss something

No. It doesn't. It's a waste of time to make the effort (sorry, Daniel Dale). Trump's slavering idiot hordes actually believe he's telling the truth.

And the rest of us with, you know, eyes, ears, and non-Adderall-fucked brains understand that Trump's going to lie, he's lying now, and he's nothing but lies and scams and failure. He repeats lies even after they're shown not to be lies. Lies are his lube and America is his blow-up doll and he's gonna fuck it until it pops and then he'll have it patched and blow it up again and go to town once more.

Nothing is more harmful than the insanity he spouts about COVID-19, which is literally causing people to allow themselves to get sick and die. Now kids are going to die or get other people sick who will die because of his refusal to face the reality of the virus. Here he is on it: "Frankly, if we didn’t test, you wouldn’t have all the headlines because we’re showing cases. And we have just about the lowest mortality rate. But if we did… Think of this, if we didn’t do testing, instead of testing over 40 million people, if we did half the testing, we would have half the cases. If we did another… You cut that in half, we’d have yet again, half of that, but the headlines are always testing."

And you wanna scream, "Motherfucker, testing doesn't fill the hospital ICUS in Texas and Florida!" But you'd be screaming into a void, a soulless, sucking vortex that wants to devour everything in its attempt to be all there is that exists.

Everything I just described to you took place in the first 18 minutes of Trump's rant today. He went on for another 35 minutes, mostly blathering on about how Joe Biden and the Democrats will be nicer to immigrants (including saying this weird shit: "[The Democrats will] grant work permits for illegal aliens, so if you come in illegally, you get a work permit. People that live here don’t get work permits, many cases," because we don't fucking need work permits, you stupid, rotting tangerine) and musing about punishing protesters while protecting Andrew Jackson's horse statue. Then he took a couple of token questions before fucking off to tweet. The reporters should have walked out. They should have said, "Fuck this. We'll watch the video later. You misled us about what this whole bullshit was about" and just left Fox "news" and the One America ass remora who is always with Trump.

5. K&R, Trump is Joker from Dark Knight, the stupid version who just wants to see the world burn

6. The best description of trump ever.

Trump is really just three hogs stacked on top of each other while wearing a trash bag with a tie.

[ZZenith]

14. Really, really good.

7. Trump loves his low-education voters.

They could listen to every word of his rambling, incoherent press conference and turn around and tell others what a brilliant man he is. You can’t cure idolatry and lack of knowoedge.

[Dreampuff]

8. Exactly!

You can't fix stupid. He has plenty of help by the hate groups though. Some on Fox News, Aon, Rush Limbaugh, Etc. People don't realize they aren't getting accurate news or how many millions these people are pocketing by spewing their hateful lies.

9. What a professor

I would risk getting Covid and go back to school at CUNY to take Rudes classes. And I am old and vulnerable. Probably die laughing at his brilliant rants while learning words that trump has no idea of their meaning, and couldn’t read or pronounce. Maybe learn a witty few lines for my grave stone. Keep em coming Professor (Department head of hundreds) Rude!

12. What I find fascinating is the parallels between Trump and Boris Johnson.

Both are obfuscating egomaniacs. Both are steering their respective nations towards political, institutional, judicial, and economic disaster while fervently denying the genuine threat of COVID-19.

It is as if they are being instructed and coordinated by an unseen 3rd party. Hmmmm...
