What if Trump Held a Press Conference and Nobody Came?

Caricature by Euan Mactavish 

For the first time in my adult life, I am ashamed to be an American.  Yes, that is a parody of the First Lady’s earth-shaking comment made during the Obama Presidential campaign, so sue me.  Just as she was being honest and sincere when she said what she said, I am stone cold serious. 

America’s so-called liberal press has fostered a level of racism that has shocked my sensibilities to the core.  In their shameless effort to sensationalize and tantalize a brain-dead, morally bankrupt audience, the press successfully elevated His Ignorance Donald Trump to a political power-broker.  And all Trump had to do was tell blatant lies with the precision of a conniving racist strategist.
 
Donald Trump has had more free air-time in the past few weeks than all the others in the vastly boring fib-fest masquerading as the hunt for the Republican Presidential nomination put together. Not once, as far as I know, has he made one coherent statement about what he would do should the morons of America gather enough racist Lemming-Americans to put him in the White House.
 
Trump is crazy like a fox, though.  On the face of it all, he seems to be running around making insane accusations without benefit of supporting evidence; i.e., “Obama is the worst President in the history of the country.”  Asked why he says that, Trump says something profound like “because he IS!”  Oh.

But this latest tactic is the clearest proof to date of Trump’s underlying rancid racism.  By pointing out that Obama was a “lousy student” and “nobody even remembers him from kindergarten,” and going on to wonder how Obama was able to be admitted to Harvard, Trump is implying it was the politically-loaded affirmative action programs of the last century that allowed it.  He stops short of saying “how else would this common, not-so-bright black man penetrate those hallowed halls?”

Trump is an idiot and that is not news.  What has me ashamed this morning is the absolute knowledge that there are ordinary people in this ailing country who are eating up his evil lies with a spoon.  There are those among us who will make a hero out of Trump for forcing the President to produce his birth certificate (which, by the way, gives not one bit of additional information about the religion his parents.)

So, sure, the *birthers* can now shut the hell up about Obama’s citizenship and birthright; but now we are going to be treated to a litany of testimonials about how stupid that Barry kid was in the third grade and how patently unworthy he is to be a graduate of that bastion of whiteness in Cambridge, Mass.  And yet, The Donald whines on about how bad we look to the people of the world.  I hope somebody sneaks into his golden penthouse and shaves off all his alleged hair!
