This post is dedicated to reader John OC and the millions of other MAGA morons who have fallen for Donald J Trump’s bullshit

Yesterday I posted a dire warning about what Donny Trump’s presidency will mean not just for America but, given the size of of the US economy, the world. In response reader ‘John OC’ took me to task and commented

‘Wow - such a rant. Thanks for reminding me to come back to you on your
superb TDS rant last week. Was thrilled with the result last night’.

Well, to that all I can respond is ‘sucker’. But time will tell what a disaster Trump will be, given his economic naivety, his ultra-short attention span, his narcissism, his fatal flaw in believing his own bullshit.

Readers such as ‘John OC’ who were ‘thrilled’ by the election result will be crying into their beer with a year or two when Trump manages to make inflation soar again, millions are made unemployed and Trump manifest health problems – why are your afraid of releasing your medical records, Donny? – make him just a figurehead for the crooks and right-wing thugs such as Musk and Thiel who wanted him in the White House.

NB First of all the global covid epidemic, soon followed by Putin’s invasion of Ukraine sparked global inflation – as in throughout the world not just America – and as such it was beyond the control of any government.

The problem with inflation is that its effects lad. So although it is right down again everywhere, prices are still high and that has fooled cretins like ‘John OC’. Don’t believe me? Well, take a look. This chart (below) showing US inflation over the past five years is provided by YCharts.

But morons like ‘John OC’ and his fellow MAGA suckers aren’t interested in ‘detail’ and ‘facts’ and they take the view, rather like six-year-old children that if a ‘fact’ doesn’t suit them it is ‘fake news’.

Remember, it’s all very well for ‘John OC’ to sneer at what he calls my ‘rant’ but he conveniently forgets the ranting is orange pin-up is a master of: take time out to listen to any of Donny’s speeches to see and hear for yourselves.

Morons like ‘John OC’ prefer to cosy bedside story, cut kittens and kindly fairy godmothers and all the other bullshit Trump provides for them for the real world.

The writer H L Mencken is supposed to have observed (though he probably picked it up somewhere) that

Nobody ever went broke underestimating
the intelligence of the American people

Trump has now proved just how true that is.

MAGA suckers, you will have no one to blame but yourselves

We have a saying in Britain, ‘Turkeys don’t vote for an early Christmas. To adapt if for American readers (and for the sake of those such as ‘John OC’ I shall use BIG LETTERS)

Turkeys don’t vote for an early Thanksgiving.

The problem now facing the US is that 72,641,564 of the nation’s voters have done just that.

PS Get a good night’s sleep, y’all, you’re gonna need it.
