I’m not exaggerating when I say that if we had installed a sock puppet as president in 2025, we would be in better shape today.
A sock puppet, or any inanimate object that made no decisions, would never have implemented idiotic tariffs that ravaged the economy,
A sock puppet would never have launched a war with Iran for vague, confounding, contradictory, arbitrary, and imbecilic reasons, resulting in widespread death and destruction.
Would a sock puppet steal $1.8 billion dollars from the US Treasury and plan to hand it out to thugs and flunkies beholden only to him? Possibly, but not necessarily.
A president who did nothing would be an improvement on a president who willfully makes mystifying, moronic decisions that seem designed to hurt America.
Unfortunately, we do not have a sock puppet for a chief executive. We have a careening, decaying narcissist who “is not good at wars, economics, or geopolitics” but is “amazingly good at corruption.”
Americans are starting to catch on — about 18 months too late, but they are catching on, nevertheless.
The vilest person to ever be president has an approval rating that is sinking faster than a Tesla dropped into a black hole. The only people who still believe in his insanity are the hardcore base.
But that’s a new problem. You see “Trump’s strategy for power has a tighter and tighter hold on fewer and fewer people.” As MAGA withers and dies, it will become even more toxic, without the nominal need to appeal to anyone but zealots who are quite literally willing to die for this repulsive bigot.
As the right-wing “base of support shrinks, the concentration of primary-voting diehards and Cabinet-level dead-enders in the president’s party will only increase.” This means that the flailing despot’s “threats to upend democracy will only grow more intenseas Trump’s faction of MAGA diehards keeps shrinking.”
Basically, these fascistic fucks will try to take the whole damn country down with them.
I know of no solution to their whiplashing destruction.
Hell, maybe we can talk them into voting for a sock puppet.
