Incendiary? Surely not

The magic is gone.

Several Republican leaders on Sunday expressed concern at incendiary comments made by former President Donald Trump during a speech Saturday night at a Republican National Committee donor retreat.

Incendiary comments were fine as long as he was squatting in the White House, but now that he’s the official loser, they’re discovering an uncomfortable level of heat.

The former president went off-script in a roughly 50-minute keynote speech at his Mar-a-Lago resort in South Florida, ripping into Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, even calling him a “dumb son of a bitch.” Trump also took aim at former Vice President Mike Pence — saying he was “disappointed” in him for not fighting the certification of the election results in January — as well as Anthony Fauci, who Trump said was “full of crap.”

New Trump just like the old Trump. They lay down with this guy, they can’t complain about the syphilis now.

Trumpcine instead of vaccine. Dang, that’s really really clever. They should totally do that.

    Thanks for the explanation. The word is so stupid that my brain couldn’t figure out that level of stupidity, and I honestly had no idea what he was referring to until you explained.

    How ’bout Trumpscene instead of obscene? It’s a better fit.

    Yeah, me too. My mind jumped to Holocene, Eocene, etc…

    Mind you, I would be happy to use Trumpcine for any vaccine that inoculated us against ever having to hear, see, or think about Trump or any of the assorted Trumplets again.

    I suppose it’s no coincidence that their disenchantment occurred when he started insulting Republicans, many of whom threw any trace they might have of honor or integrity out the window to elevate Trump above all else.

    Only a Trumplodyte would consider trumpcine as a wry doniker in such trumpestuous times as these.

    We should trumpet that to the public.

    Isn’t the “vacc” part of “vaccine” a reference to the cows/cowpox of the very first successful vaccine? If so, would a “trumpcine” ward off Trump and all of his unfortunate DNA carriers? If it did, I’d get that jab repeatedly.
