Dumb as a Bag of Hammers

By David Glenn Cox

Well, when I’m wrong, I’m wrong. This is the Trump Administration, after all, and it’s hard to guess with a whole lot of accuracy. When Kristi Noem disappeared during the recent crisis. I had guessed drug overdose or psychological collapse. But she has a boyfriend, shhh! Don’t tell her husband. And he, Corey Lewandowski, has a wife, shhh! This was one of those everyone knows about it but doesn’t talk about it affairs. But it’s all over the press now and King Donald couldn’t be happier!

Anything to take the heat off of his own pedophile sex scandal is considered a win! Then, there’s Stephan Miller’s wife (understandably) running off with Elon Musk. Plus, the rumors of the king’s own affair with Laura Loomer. Karoline Leavitt to Beaver had to arrange a quickie marriage. Because the party of traditional family values wouldn’t tolerate an unwed mother working in the White House. The Trump Administration is beginning to look like the last days at Caligula’s palace. They’re not just incompetent, they are also immoral!

I bet that’s comes as a big surprise for all of you. But another day, another story, I mean another lie. The king’s meeting in Alaska was first described as discussing secondary sanctions. Then, it evolved into resolving the Russian war on Ukraine and Zelensky wasn’t invited and then he was invited! Now, currently, for the time being, Karoline Leavitt to Beaver calls it a “Listening Exercise.” Okay, I understand. They’ve used up all the good excuses and are now down to the dregs.

King Donald, narcissist in chief, is only going to Alaska to “Listen.” Listen to Vladimir Putin pour out his troubles. This after the king had been prattling about land swaps. Land swaps is a non-starter. Nobody outside the White House thinks land swaps are going to happen. They are talking about corridors to Crimea. This is the same solution they came up with in the Armenia / Azerbaijan conflict which Iran says will never be allowed to happen.

Vladimir Putin wouldn’t dare leave Russia right now, if he didn’t think there was something good in it, waiting in Alaska. The Russian Navy is immobilized, and the Russian Air force is falling from the skies. They are running out of armored vehicles and tanks. Pulling 1960s tanks out of long-term storage and slapping a coat of paint on them and sending them out the door. Their army is made up of draftees and old men. The Russian economy is in dire straits. Putin is coming because he’s promised something good.

The king wants so desperately to change the subject. He’s already got a spot picked out on the mantle for his Nobel Peace Prize. But like finding a virgin in the White House, it’s not going to happen. They don’t give peace prizes to leaders who put troops in the streets of their capital and set up concentration camps. A former guard at Alligator Auschwitz says the conditions there are cruel and inhumane. And that’s for the guards! For the prisoners, it’s even worse.

“Lindsey,” last name withheld said, the guards sleep in campers. Their food is bad and their toilets back up. The mosquitoes are like flying pit bulls. And when it rains (It’s Floriduh, it rains all the time) there’s standing water and stench everywhere. “Lindsey” was fired after claiming to have Covid, but who knows? Her description sounds like something which would make you want to bail. Men in cages in the heat and the humidity, the urine and the shit. I’ve asked this question before. Where are the women being kept, and the children? Why can’t we see their living conditions? Because the king wants a Nobel Prize!

Day by day and hour by hour, the Administration looks inept, clueless and rudderless. Just throwing shit at the wall and hoping something will stick. The whole Trump in Alaska endeavor has turned into an international fiasco. And if the administration had it to do over again, they would never have brought it up. The king down played expectations to the point of why bother?

The king faces a no-win situation of nothing to be accomplished and allies to be antagonized. It’s beginning to sound like a regular tune. A catch as catch can of let’s try this! Or let’s try that! Where they don’t really know where they are going except to hell in a handbasket.

Fortunately, they still control the media. And the phony polls would tell you the king’s approval rating is around 45%. If you believe that! I’ve got some oceanfront property in Arizona for sale. Republican Representative Michael Flood had his butt chewed on by an angry mob in ruby red Nebraska. Tens of thousands of people in the streets in California. Zohran Mamdani is up by 20 points in New York. Protests in Washington and yet, they try to tell you the king’s approval is at 45%.

Trump’s base is turning against him. Some of his most vocal supporters have switched sides, becoming his most vocal critics. The king is mired in a pedophile sex scandal. And is obviously withholding damning information. 45% means they don’t think very much of you. They assume you’re dumb as a bag of hammers.

Have you noticed? Every other commercial on TV is a new car ad? Like politicians the week before the election. Like deer at a drying water hole desperate to drink the last drops of moisture. 45%! Approval!

The sex scandal (scandals, plural) unpopular! The tariffs, unpopular! The concentration camps, unpopular! Trump’s big, beautiful bill, wildly unpopular! Trump’s takeover of Washington, unpopular! Trump’s firing of the head of the BLS, unpopular! Trump’s handling of the economy, frantically unpopular! Trump will end the war in Ukraine! Not likely. The king’s partisan position on Russia is well known and unpopular. Trump is so popular; Texas is trying to redistrict illegally to steal five seats. 45%!

The polls are a complete fabrication as the numbers don’t reflect the events. Corn futures continue falling. Soybean futures are down 25% Farmers for Trump!  45% can you believe it?

“The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.” ― Adolf Hitler
