The Donald cannot stay awake. The dingy Manhattan courtroom — likened to a “high ceilinged DMV office” by Rachel Maddow — has become toxic as the narcoleptic former reality show star’s flatulence hangs thick and heavy in the air, according to LA Magazine.
Trump is pushing 80 years old, and he looks every day of it — and then some. His complexion is a mess, and his hair a bird’s nest of brittle pasta, dyed an unnatural hue. His posture is abysmal. His eyes convey the slouch in his shoulders that befits a breaking man.
What type of person would look at this man and think he should have the most powerful position on Earth?
Truly. It is astonishing.
Yet, there he sits, in all his splendid glory, the MAGA Führer, the Republican Party’s nominee for president of the United States for the third consecutive election cycle, Donald Trump, tribune of the aggrieved.
I wonder what the reaction might have been in 2015 had I predicted that nine years later Trump would be on the ballot in 2024 with 88 felonies pending — after inciting an insurrection and being impeached twice. What if I had said that he would be campaigning from the courthouse where he was on trial for business fraud, resulting from porn star payoffs, and that he might actually win — again. People would have said I was nuts, and I’m one of those people. There are no words.
Secretary Clinton’s famous “3 am phone call” ad was premised on the president being woken in the middle of the night to deal with a crisis. The truth of the matter in 2024 is that Trump would have to be woken up at 10:30 am if the crisis broke mid-morning, and again at 1:30pm and 3:00 pm if there were developments. His lethargy settles for all time what he was doing during executive time in the White House: napping.
The Secret Service will have to rethink his handle. What about “Sleepy” or maybe “Sloth?”
By the way, where is the Trump family? No Jared or Ivanka? What about the boys? Where are Uday and Qusay? Has anyone seen Melania?
There is a simple truth about the trial and the man in the dock. It is a tawdry, sordid and low-class affair. Trump is as trashy as it gets. He’s a Queens hustler, who got hustled by the porn star, who got hustled by her lawyer Michael Avenatti, who is now in federal prison, but willing to testify for Trump, which he told The New York Post in an interview from prison. Wouldn’t it be amazing if this plot could merge with “Vanderpump Rules,” “Below Deck,” “Real Housewives,” and three more trashy delights?
Shouldn’t the American head of state have some dignity? Shouldn’t the commander in chief have some stamina?
The simple truth exposed by the criminal trial is that Trump is declining, and quickly. He looks terrible, and is getting smaller by the day. Trump looks weak and feeble in court. This trial is the beginning of the end.
The whole country is getting a clear look at Trump. They see what the courtroom can vividly smell. There is something stinky in the Manhattan courthouse that will never set foot in the White House again.
Donald Trump is many things, and old, tired and sleepy should be added to the list. The most unfit president in American history is decomposing before our eyes, in a criminal courtroom. His show is going to be cancelled soon, and he seems to sense it. The wizard has lost his screen.
I love this post! What concerns me, though, is that there have been SO many times when I have been completely dumbfounded by the absolute stupidity of SO many American people. I have NEVER found anything to admire about Trump, and having him elected as President was heartbreaking. I do not think that I will EVER understand how anyone could support him!
