Loving It When The World Realizes Trump Is Stupid

This current world we are living in, where the majority of Americans are embarrassed regarding our current situation, with the majority of the world looking on in shock, with many nations advising their citizens not to travel to the United States, it leaves us sane Americans in a state of escalating disgust, appalled that this has happened, to learn that so many Americans are so poorly educated, so poorly informed, not understanding the basics of their nation, its system of government, and its place in the world. And thus voted, twice, no thrice, for a man with multiple obvious shortcomings, intellectual, moral, psychological and more.

Social media gives us insight into the confused mindsets of those who do not understand they have placed our country, America, in dire straits.

Example, today on Facebook, a person with whom I attended high school, with this person not able to graduate, even after being held back a couple years, is quite politically opinionated, and quite willing to advertise his abject ignorance.

Reading such is both appalling, and sort of amusing. And disturbing. To see such blatant evidence of how challenged some sorts are, intellectually, grammatically, and spelling-wise, is truly disturbing. And they are allowed to vote.

With the example I shall share here, I shall first share a couple comments about that which I shall share, with one sane person commenting, with the high school dropout responding to the sane person. Then after that you can read that absolute lunacy to which they are reacting....

Sane Person: Wow, you should fact check yourself, Buster! And quit drinking the orange Kool-Aid!

High School Dropout Nutjob: Sane Person, i have you idiot fool ‘ what’s your excuse for lies ‘ typical remark from the LEFT dem,lib,perv’

Obviously, I edited out the actual names, using Sane Person and High School Dropout Nutjob as replacements. 

And now, that to which Sane Person and the Nutjob are reacting....

"I love when people call Trump Stupid"...

You mean the multi-billionaire who kicked every Democrats butt, buried 16 career Republican politicians, and continues to make fools out of once reputable news organizations ..

You mean the guy who won the presidency?

You mean the guy with the super model wife?

You mean the guy whose words alone put a massive slow down on illegal border crossings?

You mean the guy whose mere presence made the stock market smash its previous records?

You mean the guy who created 1 million jobs in his first 7 months in office?

Are you sure you even know what it is you're resisting?

Are you sure you back a party that enables the decimation of every core principal of Christianity?

Are you sure you back a party that voted 100% against the abolition of slavery?

Are you sure you really take a politician like Maxine Waters seriously?

Are you sure you don't see anything wrong with someone who has a 40 yr career as a public servant living in a $4.5 mansion representing a district she doesn't even live in?

Are you sure you see nothing wrong or peculiar about Hillary Clinton a woman being involved in politics for the last 30 yrs having a net worth of $240 million?

Are you sure you're not just basing your opinion on hatred spewed by a crooked paid for media platform?

Could you even tell me 5 things the Democratic Party has done to improve your day to day prosperity as a hard working American citizen?

Probably not..

Do you realize the debacle you are sending your children into once they become adults by continuing to support a political party that has done nothing for the poor except kept them poor, gave them free abortions, and a few hundred a month to keep food in their fridge?

The prosperity and safety of its citizens is job one of your government.

Get with the program.

Everyone else has horribly failed you!

Smarten up and take a position for the sake of your children.

I promise you a country full of illegal immigrants, abortions, $15 an hour jobs, and non-gender specific people aren't gonna make your country and life any more prosperous.

Rosie, Madonna, Katy Perry, and Robert Deniro are not just like you. They don't have to live through the real world day to day disparity of an average American.

Men don't hate women, white people don't hate black people, and Donald Trump is not a racist.

Stop allowing yourself to be brainwashed by a party that has continuously failed you.

Be about your prosperity, your safety, your children, and an America First mindset.

Dump these crooked politicians that have stunted your growth.

Dump these crooked politicians that have stunted your children's growth.

Toughen up, take a stand, and act like a proud American.

See the spirit of Trump supporting and freedom loving Americans and just imagine where we could be as a country if everyone had the same priorities”

Don't Argue Anymore With Anyone Willfully Ignorant & Delusional

I forgot I have a blog called Durango World

I had not posted on it since 2019, nearing the end of the first Trump lunacy, I mean, presidency.
 
That blog post from way back then was about Trump, with that blog post titled...

Louise Maughan James Provides Best Ever British Description Of America's Trump Nightmare

On Facebook I get a good look at a lot of the right wing nutjob nonsense, like that which you see in this blog post, two Facebook memes I combined into one, adding a drop shadow effect.

The first suggests that the four years Biden was president was a disaster, and that if you still hate Trump after experiencing Biden, then you are the problem.

Yes, that seems quite logical, well thought out and fact based. The Biden years saw the economy grow every quarter of those four years, which has not happened any previous presidency. Biden got a massive infrastructure bill passed, something Trump claimed he was going to do, but never did. Trump made America an international laughingstock during his first term. Biden restored international respect for America. In the short time Trump's second term has been underway he has managed to alienate our allies, in various ways, sided with Russia in the UN, made a fool of himself in the Oval Office with Zelensky.

How does one manage to be so obliviously ignorant that you think the Biden years were a disaster?

The other meme is a real doozy. You can't argue with anyone on the left because of their exhausting ignorance and delusion.

Actually, most of us who lean left are well-educated, which is why we prevail in any discussion in which facts, reason and actual knowledge are in play.

Now, I won't identify whose Facebook page I took these memes from. Suffice to say I see this type stuff regularly on that Facebook page. Often the person cluelessly shares something which does not mean what he thinks it mean. In that the point being made is not the point he thinks is being made. Stuff, like not getting that Trump is being made mock of, not being made non-mock of.

I find it particularly amusing that this particular person makes reference to willful ignorance and delusion.

This particular person was held back a couple grades during his school years. And was not able to graduate from high school due to insufficient credits. I do not know if this person got himself a GED, post his high school years, or if he tried to do so.

The evidence, as seen on Facebook, would suggest no GED...

Louise Maughan James Provides Best Ever British Description Of America's Trump Nightmare

The following is from the insightful thinking of someone across the pond, a citizen of the United Kingdom named Louise Maughan James.

Apparently someone on Quora asked a probing question about Donald Trump, which prompted Ms. James to provide the following British perspective...

Someone on Quora asked "Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?" Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England wrote this magnificent response.

A few things spring to mind.

Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem.

For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace - all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed.

So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.

Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing - not once, ever.

I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility - for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman.

But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is - his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.

Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers.

And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults - he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.

There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface.

Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront.

Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul.

And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist.

Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that.

He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat.

He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.

And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully.

That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead.

There are unspoken rules to this stuff - the Queensberry rules of basic decency - and he breaks them all. He punches downwards - which a gentleman should, would, could never do - and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless - and he kicks them when they are down.

So the fact that a significant minority - perhaps a third - of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think 'Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:
* Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are.
* You don't need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.

This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss.

After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum.

God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid.

He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart.

In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws - he would make a Trump.

And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish:

'My God… what… have… I… created?

If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set.

Trump's El Paso Miracle Stuffs 35,000 People In 6,500 Seats


If your only news source was right wing hate speech radio purveyors, such as Rush Limbaugh.

Or Fox News.

You would have heard that Trump drew a crowd of 10 to 15 thousand to his Wall Rally in El Paso, while Beto O'rourke drew only 1 or 2 hundred to his El Paso Wall Rally.

Only a couple hundred, and according to Trump's Number One propaganda supplier, Limbaugh, Beto jumped around the stage like a Jack in the Box, was totally unprofessional, spewing erratic nonsense.

You know, as opposed to that dignified address Trump gave to his cult members, leading them in chanting 'lock her up', 'build that wall', along with anti-media chants which resulted in a BBC reporter getting a beating.

Beto countered Trump's lies about El Paso and the wall in El Paso, and the wall concept in general, but actual facts apparently are not able to be processed by someone like Limbaugh, and his ignorant ilk.

Trump Sons Detained At Vancouver Airport Due To Alleged Ties With Fascist Dictator

Well, you knew it was only a matter of time before these two boys got themselves detained for some bad deed, such murdering elephants, lions and tigers, or some equally foul bad behavior.

A British Columbia, Canada newspaper, the Burrard Street Journal, is the source of the news about the Trump boys being detained.

And you know those ultra-polite Canadians would never fabricate a story.

Three paragraphs from the Trump Sons Detained At Vancouver Airport Due To Alleged Ties With Fascist Dictator article...

RICHMOND, BCDonald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump are in police custody at YVR airport this evening, after alleged ties to a fascist dictator surfaced during routine questioning.

The two sons of a former American billionaire, had flown to the pacific northwest for the unveiling of the new Trump tower in Downtown Vancouver.

However upon arrival the brothers were reportedly selected for random inspection by the Canadian Border Services Agency and ultimately detained under suspicion that they may be connected to an oppressive regime in a foreign nation.

Is Trump Mad Cruz Refused To Endorse The Great Orange Pumpkin?

I lasted less than ten minutes of Ted Cruz's hard to watch, for me, speechifying, at last night's Republican Convention Embarrassment.

There is a large segment of the population, thankfully, who react to Cruz in the same way one instinctively reacts to a scary reptile.

How is it some people don't see this guy's oily snake-like reptilian-ness?

A face that somehow causes a visceral urge to punch it. The pitchy voice that sounds like somehow the voice change process got halted part way through his teen age years.

And then there is the dumb stuff that comes out of this Canadian's mouth. All spoken in a phony bad actor method of delivery.

I don't know how the ill-fated Cruz candidacy survived his ridiculous Simpson's audition. Or that even more embarrassing, long video of Cruz  and family making political ads, with the most damning segment being Cruz sitting next to his mom, telling the camera that his mom prays for him, for hours, everyday, with the look on his mom's face of utter astonishment at the lying nonsense coming out of her creepy son's mouth.

And yet there he was, last night, back on America's TV screens, causing the skin to crawl of a large segment of the world's population.

I am even more appalled by the Great Orange Pumpkin than I am by Ted Cruz, but if I was Donald Trump I would not want someone like Ted Cruz to endorse me, in fact, I would prefer he didn't.

Republican Party unity be damned....

Looking For A Trumpence Definition

48 hours ago if one Googled for the meaning of the word "trumpence", via the Internet's Urban Dictionary, one would have learned.....

A trumpence is the amount of return on investment on a con job.

Used in a sentence...

 "I knew it was too good to be true, but I thought it was worth trumpence."

And...

“You should always make sure the target of your scam isn't overly intelligent, then you can play on their fears to maximize your potential trumpence.”

And now, 48 hours later, for some reason, the Urban Dictionary's trumpence definition has been expanded....

trumpence
The return on investment of a con, bribe, theft or fraud. This could include the direct financial benefit of a scam or plot, but also can be used to represent the emotional boost a narcissist or sociopath gets from feeling superior to those they have manipulated and tricked.
________________

I have read Mr. Trump is having some regrets about picking Mr. Pence. We think he should get over any regrets.

The TP Ticket is going to be a lot of fun....
