    I really don’t like watching or listening to Trump speak. I read parts of a transcript of his speech. Even at that remove, I could still hear his voice in my head. If I’d been in that auditorium I would have ripped my own head off, or asked someone to help.

    Holy fucking shit.

    It’s the same hamster wheel of repeated claims, complaints, grievances and bragging. (Not that I had any illusions that he would change, or have any sudden dawning of self-awareness or restraint. His stupidity and self-aggrandizement are, like the speed of light and the inevitability of ever-increasing entropy, pretty much a universal constant at this point.) The whole self-stirring, bubbling cauldron of madness and lies, in utterly shameless, narcissistic abandon. The only thing that separates him from the pitiful, raving homeless guys I see on the street, are a shave, a cheap suit, and nuclear weapons. Otherwise, he is indistinguishable from them in terms of content, coherence, and truth value.

    Well how do you think I feel?! Watching him [one short clip at a time] so that I can report on the nightmare here. Torture!

    I suppose I would do it anyway though. It seems necessary to keep track.

    Has Trump ever written an IQ test?

    ????? Remember always, he is a self-revealed ‘stable genius,’ around whom I think we can take for granted, the Earth – no, make that the whole Universe – rotates, in a never-ending quest for a stable state. But Trump keeps going beyond himself; trumping himself. With The Button ever within his reach.

    Wholly, holy shit.!!!

    This is not a novelty. The USA was founded by racists. The novelty is not that he’s racist, but that he’s stupid. They were smart.

    Indeed. My condolences. You’re not just taking bullets for the team, but daily drops of napalm. I should count myself lucky reading the transcripts, like Perseus glimpsing only the reflected image of Medusa in his polished shield.

    Trump is so fractally and universally terrible, I imagine he would still sound just as awful in Braile or ASL as he does in the printed word. .

    We have a lot of Somalis in Grand Island, NE. Funny how he isn’t targeting them! No, not so funny, Nebraska voted for him. Imagine that.

    AND. He is coming after Somalis here in Maine at this minute. Which did not vote for his ass.

    Daily drops of napalm is a good description of keeping track of Trump.

    You must be Made of Iron, Ophelia, and I admire you for that.

    Because I can’t even see That Politician on the TV screen without screaming, “Oh, buzz off!” and switching over to the music channels.

    I’m sure the suits cost a pile but Trump invariably makes them look cheap like everything he touches. Hell, he even makes gold look cheap like some sort of reverse Midas.
