Peak trolling. The world points out how disgusting it is for Trump to exploit one of the soldiers he got killed by wearing one of his own vulgar baseball caps while saluting the coffin, so Trump exploits the disgust at his disgusting behavior.
Not content with wearing his own merchandise at a dignified transfer, President Donald Trump is now doubling down on the “shameful” insult by attempting to cash in on the controversial photo op.
In a twisted turn of events, the 79-year-old has used an image of himself saluting the coffin of a soldier killed in his war on Iran to drum up cash for his own campaigning.
Last week, Trump became the first president in history to wear a baseball hat while honoring returning service members who made the ultimate sacrifice. The move drew condemnation from across the political spectrum.
Why? Because it’s not a party, much less a party for Trump, much less a party for Trump to advertise both himself and his trashy merchandise.
It’s as if there is a god after all, and this god wants to punish us for being such a crass money-grubbing shameless bunch of vulgarians.
In an email to his supporters on Friday, Trump doubled down on the disrespect by using a shot of the transfer to promote a private newsletter group receiving “national security briefings.”
He what???
“This is President Donald J. Trump,” the email reads. “I made a special announcement to the public an hour ago.”
“For the very first time ever, I’m opening up spots on the National Security Briefing Membership.
“CLAIM YOUR SPOT. VERY FEW SPOTS REMAINING!”
For the very first time ever because that is not what you do with national security briefings!!! As even he must know perfectly well – not least because of course everyone will have told him so in terms that underline how powerful and special that makes him.
I’m not enjoying this journey downward. Can we hit bottom already?
