"Tiresome Tyrant's Tariff Tantrum Tickles"

"So the biggest, shittiest bully of the whole dang century had his favorite bullyin’ stick snatched away. As a longtime fan of humanity, any failure of any tyrant is cause for celebration. But I want to do something I’ve never done in the history of this blog. I want to thank Donald Trump.

Because that was one satisfying tantrum, old man.

The primal yap of a turd turning stale. Easily the most embarrassing human behavior yet documented, expanding our understanding of the limits of cringe in terrifying, if hilarious ways.

If you saw that press conference in the cold open of a Star Trek show, you’d think, “Mmmm, this week, they’re encountering a bizarre alien culture that lacks the concept of dignity, how interesting!”

The way he said it contained elements of rage and echoes of familiarity, like he was used to saying it and then getting what he wants.

Glad NATO figured him out before gifting him Greenland just to get him to shut up.
