Much like with the first Trump presidency, this second presidency has been filled with chaos and mind-bendingly idiotic headlines to make your head spin. I have been meaning to get around to Trump's recent declaration that news outlets criticizing him should be illegal. Yet just like during Trump's first term, you barely have time to wrap your head around one jaw-dropping story before it seems like yet another staggeringly moronic piece of evidence of unbelievable incompetency at the highest levels derails your focus, as well as faith in this country.
The headlines dominating in recent days has been the military leak, of course. War plans were accidentally leaked to a reporter from The Atlantic on an otherwise private chat.
Of course, Trump blamed the reporter, and not members of his administration, or of course himself, for choosing those idiots to begin with. Quite typical and predictable.
It seems clear that it obviously was something ridiculous. Another major and glaring mistake and breach of national security by Trump or his White House. Remember all of those leaks during his first four years? Or when he invited Russia to spy and release files on Hillary Clinton? Or when he invited Putin and Russia to invade a NATO country? Or how on January 6th he encouraged his supporters to go the Capitol building in Washington and urged them to not show weakness and take the country back by interfering with a democratic process finalizing the 2020 election? Or how he took classified documents and stored them in a bathroom at Mar-a-Lago?
Now, here is yet another massive security breach. Another ignominious moment - obviously one of many - for Trump and his time in the White House. Yeah, this feels at like still another low point regarding America's reputation, as well as national security.
Here's the thing: Trump and his cult following were screaming about locking Hillary up when it came to her emails. Meanwhile, they are calm and urge us to stop blowing everything way out of proportion when Trump himself brings boxes of classified documents to his private home in Mar-a-Lago, where he has important people from foreign nations come to visit. Now, war plans by the United States were leaked in advance, as were the frankly idiotic reactions by some of the highest profile and highest ranking "leaders" in the marbled halls in Washington.
This is Trump's America.
Admittedly, this might be poorly placed as a "Weekend Funny." After all, there really is nothing funny about this story. In fact, there has been precious little to really smile, much less laugh, about regarding the state of the country, particularly since the November election. Trump supporters got exactly what they wanted, right? Yet, they are as angry as ever. Like the Dear Leader, they feel entitled to be pissed off and feel victimized, all while they go out of their way to treat everyone else like absolute garbage. It really is ridiculous. Surely I have said this before, but it bears repeating: all of this would seem comical, if it were not real and the consequences so damn tragic.
Remember, the whole world is watching.
