FT Columnist Likens Trump Supporters To Drunks - He's Spot On
To say that Donald Trump is a despicable maggot does a disservice to all insect maggots. Not even those larvae of some of the filthiest critters (house flies, horse flies, etc.) on the planet deserve to be compared with the diseased, bipedal maggot fouling the White House and the office of the presidency.
Not only has this verminous cretin remained unapologetic regarding his doubling down on racist remarks but last night in Phoenix even had the temerity and chutzpah to portray himself as the true victim of the deadly events in Charlottesville, launching an all-out assault on the media and branding journalists who “do not like our country” as the true source of division in America. Even former NSA head James Clapper was aghast, saying he did not know how much longer the country could sustain such vitriolic division.
And yet, like drunks, the Trump supporters loved it. I will get to that in a bit, citing FT columnist Gary Silverman's recent piece, but first more on the events last night.
Trump, at a rally in Phoenix, reminiscent of his populist election campaign, attacked coverage of his response to the white supremacist violence and complained bitterly to his audience about how he had been treated. The interesting aspect, which his inebriated followers likely missed, is that he deliberately lied by omission when recounting his original statement on the Charlottesville violence.
Thus while reading out his original remarks to polite applause, he failed to repeat the inflammatory words he had used when he blamed “many on both sides”. But why be surprised at this omission? It is classic Trump, pathological liar that he is, always moving to manipulate his dopey followers into blindly being committed to the destruction of their own country - especially after he called for a shutdown of the government - which will cause their own Social Security checks to stop.
Trump also made other statements, deploying authoritarian rhetoric, as when he declared:
“It’s time to expose the crooked media deceptions and to challenge the media for their role in fomenting divisions and yes, by the way, they are trying to take away our history and our heritage.”
Evoking images of Joseph Goebbels' attacks on the "Jewish media" in 1930s Nazi Germany, i.e.

Like those pro-Nazi crowds, the Trump crowd – some scowling, some laughing – turned and jeered at journalists in the media enclosure. They had imbibed their master's poison cocktail that the media and journalists were the real enemy and would spare no epithet to mock them, (Many of these heard by the media but not reported to adhere to basic standards of decency)
Even as the Swine-in-chief raged on - seeking to entice more outrage and violence with his inflammatory rhetoric - protesters outside the Phoenix Convention Center had gathered to voice anger at his presence. Police used smoke bombs and teargas on the crowds after plastic bottles were reportedly thrown.
Make no mistake that the Phoenix rally was the latest example of Trump as a Jekyll and Hyde public performer, coming just 24 hours after attempting to "flip the script" using an aimless, useless speech setting out future "strategy" in Afghanistan. This basically amounted to changing his original position (to pull out) and instead continue throwing money down the drain after 16 years - the total now at $800 billion. Money that could have been used to repair the U.S. crumbling infrastructure. Trump, as seen in his deplorable lack of history knowledge to do with the Civil War, doesn't grasp that NO invading country has ever been able to secure a foothold in Afghanistan.
Then last night - probably trying to distract from empty Monday speech Drumpf was back in his element, pugnacious and freewheeling, throwing red meat to an eager crowd of Trump junkies. The arena, which has a capacity of 19,000, was mostly full of people waving signs saying “Drain the swamp”, “Make America proud again” and “Women for Trump”.
He repeatedly broke off from his teleprompter to call out “the failing New York Times” and Washington Post, which he branded “a lobbying tool for Amazon”. Amazon’s founder, Jeff Bezos, bought the Post but the entities have no relationship.
And his asinine, deluded followers drank it up like so many "shots of Tequila". The analogy is in reference to the Gary Silverman column: 'Drunk On Trump - Why The U.S. Is Under The Influence' in The Financial Times, e.g.

Silverman compared Trump's rhetorical shots at the Left, the media and "political correctness" to successive shots of Tequila consumed by his daft followers. As he wrote, after referring to Trump's use of campaign style rallies to maintain momentum (and also keep his base revved up)::
"The logic reminded me of the period when I was drinking Tequila by the shot. The same probably hold true for the folks who whoop it up when the president lets loose - as he did last Tuesday saying there were some 'very fine' people among the racists who took part in deadly demonstrations in Charlottesville, Virginia."
Last night, on observing his followers as he delivered one rhetorical ding or lie after another, I was reminded of drunks at a frat party. One is now left to wonder how rapidly these losers will reach sobriety after he incites a government shutdown over paying for his loopy wall, and their precious government support is no longer coming.
The fact these drunks have placed our nation into such jeopardy by enabling this turd to enter office (via the antiquated electoral college) is bad enough/ The possibility they could do it again - with more Russian interference if too little is done to stop outside hacking- is even more troubling. Real citizens have to now do all they can to turn back this toxic tide and not allow Trump to rein beyond 2020. Simply put, this country can't afford it.
If the debt limit isn't raised by October 1st, Trump's drunken supporters will hopefully see the jig is p and come out of their stupor. But I wouldn't put any bets on it.
