Trump serenely rises above the Wolff book

The Friday night-Saturday morning installment:

Dumped like a dog? Does Trump have a habit of dumping dogs? Where, by the roadside? In Central Park? In the East River? Or maybe he means “dog” aka “ugly woman” who gets dumped because ugly. Anyway, all very dignified and presidential, announcing that a book he hasn’t read is boring and that it’s untruthful when it isn’t and when he’s the world’s biggest liar, plus abusing Bannon who used to be his bestie.

He might as well tweet “I’m so pissed off about this book I’m ready to burn everything down I hate you all you make me sick!!!”

Well, no. I can see why he’d think that, certainly, but no. Tragically the very fact that he is so stupid and childish is a very big part of why he was able to get elected. Tragically, a lot of people like aggressive conceited stupidity. It’s his popularity that got him elected, not his being like, really smart. His popularity is very much entangled with his stupidity (as well as his ignorance).

Updating to add (h/t Stewart):

The Facebook version:

Michael Wolff is a total loser who made up stories in order to sell this really boring and untruthful book. He used Sloppy Steve Bannon, who cried when he got fired and begged for his job. Now Sloppy Steve has been dumped like a dog by almost everyone. Too bad!

    I suspect part of his popularity is also based on his lack of stability. He is a loose cannon, and he goes off in the right directions to please a certain segment of voters that think what we need is someone to carpet bomb the country with his hatred.

    Did you miss Trump’s more elaborate graphic version?

    iknklast – yes – it’s all part of the same thing, isn’t it – the stupid, the loose cannonism, the pussy-grabbing, the rudeness.

    He’s sort of like a Christopher Hitchens adapted for a very different market.

    Stewart – ooooh yes, I did – I always forget about his Facebook. I’m guessing he didn’t actually do that, so again an underling is implicated in his infantile tantrum.

    Yes, he wouldn’t be able to do it himself. He either ordered it done or someone took the initiative to suck up and did it themselves,

    I added it to the post.

    Saw that before I commented. I also tried sourcing the quotes on your FB share. It’s not totally fake, but a fair percent of what was easily sourceable was taken out of context, sometimes significantly.

    Nobody who is really smart describes themself as ‘being, like, really smart’. Poor Trump; too stupid to realise how stupid he is.

    Why do I keep thinking of that scene in a Roadrunner cartoon with a sign on a door saying “Wile E. Coyote – super genius”?

    He might have a similarly over-inflated sense of his own intelligence, but Wile E. Coyote, in those few instances wherein he has dialogue, is actually more articulate and well spoken than Trump. Sad!
