If Trump’s skin gets any thinner the US will have its first translucent president.
Trump, who relishes belittling people with unpresidential insults, like calling democrats ‘scum’ and ‘the enemy within,’ can’t take it when his slurs boomerang back at him.
Instead of accepting that jokes, jabs and insults come with the territory—satirizing presidents is an American tradition— Trump reacts like an enraged teenager when anyone insults him.
Whenever the media fail to fawn, or worse, accurately report Trump’s unprecedented corruption or ineptitude, Trump’s first instinct is to use federal resources to seek retribution against them. He’s like a school yard bully who punches and punches and punches down. When his victim finally hits back, he runs away terrified.

Oh the irony. The show Andor, a Star Wars prequel about a brave rebellion against a totalitarian, authoritarian empire just won an Emmy earlier this week for the timely narrative that resonated in a profound way with current events. The show is streamed exclusively on Disney + which I subscribed to just to watch Andor. Now, Disney has in the real world caved to a would be authoritarian regime (the dump administration) and canceled a comdian's show, and violated the 1st amendment in doing so, all to avoid the punishment and threats from that thin skinned, pathological, encroaching dictator wannabe who sits in the White House. I will finish watching the second season, then happily cancel Disney +. Maybe everyone should, maybe the cost of losing subscribers will be a greater cost than the cost the network was trying to avoid in the first place. I also heard they will be broadcasting a tribute to Kirk on the network during that time slot. Even more of a reason to cancel my subscription.
