Clint Eastwood: “I Love When People Call Trump Stupid.”
The aging Trump supporter makes a good point here. Trump’s not stupid himself; in fact, his strength lies in using his warped mind to manipulate the least intelligent Americans into doing his bidding.
Do you think Trump honestly believes that the 2020 election was stolen? That tariffs won’t increase prices and bring the U.S. economy to its knees? That eviscerating the federal government’s participation in disease control, storm forecasting, and the protection of our national parks offers value to the bulk of his constituents? Of course not. But we live among people stupid enough to believe anything he says.
For now, at least, he has us precisely where he wants us.
Do I support clean and fair elections? Or would I rather live in a banana republic where the absolute ruler’s political opponents are routinely arrested, jailed, and tortured? Hmmm.
Incredibly, there are wealthy people all around the country, perhaps even the globe, who think like the young man speaking in the cartoon here. It’s supposed to be funny, and it would be, if it didn’t describe a tragic and entirely possible outcome for humankind.
You have to be paranoid beyond measure to believe that they (whoever they are) want you to be dependent on grocery stores.
I don’t know who wrote the piece at left, and it may be a bit “over the top,” but it’s true by and large.
Re: the message at left, I doubt it. As upsetting as it may be to decent people everywhere, it’s not reasonable to think that Trump could simply disappear from view.
The reader who sent this comments: Trump tries to explain that his tariffs needn’t be a financial burden. Just buy less stuff. You don’t need all that extravagance.
Re: the discussion at left, it’s more than a stupid question; it’s outrageously condescending.
Journalism is the only profession that’s explicitly mentioned in the U.S. Constitution. It seems that the Founding Fathers believed that protecting the free press was a pretty good idea.
In a recent message to America, Donald Trump boasted how dramatically gas prices have fallen, pointing out that the national average price has now fallen under the $2.00 per gallon mark.
