And I Thought Trump Lacked a Sense of Humor: I Can’t Stop Laughing

 

Okay, when Trump announced his choice of Little Marco Rubio to be his Secretary of State, I chuckled. Rubio is known as “the laziest senator in Washington.” He was expected not run for reelection in 2016. However, Moscow Mitch McConnel was desperate to retain Republican numbers in the senate and convinced him to remain on the ballot.

When I read that Trump planned to nominate Rubio for Secretary of State, I assumed the orange buffoon had found a sense of humor, so I laughed a little. These two hate each other, and have since the 2016 campaign.

As Trump began to announce other choices for his White House staff, I thought he was planning a modern version of the 1933 Marx Brothers movie, “Duck Soup.”

I laughed even harder when I heard that Elise Stefanik would be his choice for U.N. Ambassador. When I read that a Fox personality was his choice for Secretary of Defense, I laughed so hard tears began to fall. Pete Hegseth has no experience in government and his views are harsh, reminiscent of the hawks of the 1950’s.

As other names were offered, I knew that Trump was being satirical. He named Linda McMahon, the director of World Wrestling Entertainment, as Secretary of Commerce. Animal killer, Kristi Noem will be Secretary of Homeland Security. Really? I’m not making this shit up.

The list goes on and on, including Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence. I never expected to see the words “intelligence” and Tulsi Gabbard in the same sentence.

However, when our nation’s “Biggest Mistake” selected Matt Gaetz for the position of Attorney General, I laughed so hard, I peed my pants. Gaetz remains under investigation for transporting underage women across state lines for sexual liaisons.

However, when I realized that Trump was serious about the clowns he selected, I knew that he remained humorless. He is simply the dumbest son-of-a-bitch on the earth.

I thought it impossible to find worse people for his inner circle than he chose in 2017-2021. But I’ll be damned, he did it.

To those who voted for Trump, I would like to ask, “what were you thinking,” but I already know the answer. You are incapable of individual, free thought. You are a tool for professional politicians who use you for their personal advantage and then discard you and their promises.
