Started writing this on the evening of Easter Sunday. At that point, I was still trying to determine whether the news of this ridiculous post was real or not. There is just so much nonsense about it, and without trying to echo Dear Leader, there nevertheless is a lot of fake nonsense around. And even by his standards, posting a promise to destroy an entire civilization later that night and ending the post with "Praise be to Allah!" on the holiest day in the Christian calendar feels crazy even by Trump standards. So I was admittedly not entirely certain that it was real.
But it was real. I found out that evening that this was real, and it made me angry. This was outrageous, and even, yes, blasphemous. Were his supporters even paying attention? Had they, too, grown numb to his ridiculous nonsense by this point? Was this yet another example of him getting away with shooting someone in downtown Manhattan in broad daylight and not losing a single supporter?
Well, we now know that some supporters were not cool with it.
Yet still, Trump maintains approval ratings still in the thirties. That's one in three Americans, folks. One out of three of us who look at all of this frankly ridiculous nonsense and apparently think it's okay. Maybe they believe it's presidential.
So I started writing this, and then just kind of stopped. Apparently distracted by something. I went on to address this post in another blog entry, and largely forgot about this one.
Until tonight. Saw it again, and decided that this article (see link below) should be seen by more eyes. And if I can do a small part to make sure that happens, then that would be great.
Take a look at my original (albeit incomplete) post, and the link to the article below:
Trump and team posted something highly inappropriate for Easter.
Are you even surprised?
I mean, this is the same guy who sends out Christmas messages which begin with some variation of "Merry Christmas to the liberal scum...."
So yeah, we're kind of used to this guy being generally and genuinely inappropriate, especially for supposed holy days of the Christian faith.
Still, this may have been something even by Trump's low bar standards.
