Has there ever been a president who gave the impression to be as depressing being president as President Donald Trump?

I imply, he received his election, he launched into his agenda to make white nationalism nice once more, and he bathes every day within the white-tearsy adoration of his cult-like, reality-denying MAGA base. But, for some motive, this practically 80-year-old man often finds himself up late at night time, and generally within the wee hours of the morning, rage-posting on his absurdly named “Reality” Social platform over each damaging phrase stated about him by people who find themselves not keen on a boorish, bloviating man-child of a commander-in-chief who treats the Structure prefer it’s non-obligatory.

For instance, shortly after 1:30 a.m. on Monday, Trump was on-line blowing a digital gasket over Rock and Roll Corridor of Famer, Bruce Springsteen, who stated throughout a efficiency in the UK final week that Trump is an “unfit president” and that america “is at present within the palms of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration” — all issues which can be observably true in case you’re not a MAGA rube who takes simply debunked lies at face worth as long as they’re spewed from the sphincter-shaped mouth of their crotchety-ass messiah.

Anyway, Trump could be very upset at Springsteen. Additionally, Oprah Winfrey and Beyoncé — for some motive, Springsteen’s impromptu diss monitor towards Trump impressed the latter to start out accumulating random Black girls to hate on. This additionally contains his opponent within the presidential race that he received final November, former Vice President Kamala Harris, who was someplace minding her enterprise when the man who has occupied the White Home (or a golf course nowhere close to the White Home) for the final 5 months baselessly referred to as for an investigation into the aforementioned recording artists’ so-called “unlawful marketing campaign contributions” to Harris’ marketing campaign. (Once more, does Trump not understand he has already received the presidency?)

“HOW MUCH DID KAMALA HARRIS PAY BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN FOR HIS POOR PERFORMANCE DURING HER CAMPAIGN FOR PRESIDENT?” the commander-in-cap wrote in all caps. “WHY DID HE ACCEPT THAT MONEY IF HE IS SUCH A FAN OF HERS? ISN’T THAT A MAJOR AND ILLEGAL CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION? WHAT ABOUT BEYONCÉ?…AND HOW MUCH WENT TO OPRAH, AND BONO??? I’m going to name for a significant investigation into this matter. Candidates aren’t allowed to pay for ENDORSEMENTS, which is what Kamala did, beneath the guise of paying for leisure. As well as, this was a really costly and determined effort to artificially construct up her sparse crowds. IT’S NOT LEGAL! For these unpatriotic ‘entertainers,’ this was only a CORRUPT & UNLAWFUL solution to capitalize on a damaged system.”

So, the sitting president — who actually staged a Tesla infomercial in entrance of the White Home simply to assist pull Elon Musk out of the hearth as Tesla shares had been plummeting — is out right here pretending to have ethics and legality issues concerning how politicians abuse their positions by colluding with celebrities quid professional quo type as a part of some political agenda. (Aspect observe: I’m satisfied Trump solely included Bono as a result of he was already going at three Black girls and just one white man, so he had so as to add in one other white male rocker to even issues out. It’s like DEI however for white supremacy denial functions.)

Additionally, why is Trump nonetheless out right here whining and mendacity about Harris’ crowd sizes throughout the presidential marketing campaign, that — and I’m simply going to go forward and swap to all-caps right here — HE ALREADY WON SEVERAL MONTHS AGO??? When have we ever witnessed a so-called winner being this insecure even after a victory?

Anyway, Trump’s allegations towards Harris, Oprah and Beyoncé are simply as baseless and evidence-deficient as they had been when he raised them a number of instances previously, and so they’ve been addressed and denied by his targets, which, once more, he simply seems to be selecting at random at this level.

From HuffPost:

Trump has repeatedly claimed that celebrities had been paid to endorse Harris, however these figures have denied it.

Winfrey, for instance, stated she was “not paid a dime” and that the $1 million paid to her Harpo Productions was the price of manufacturing for the occasion, together with gear and staff.

The Harris marketing campaign advised Selection that they’re legally required to pay for all such prices and companies.

Beyonce’s mom, Tina Knowles, equally stated the famous person entertainer “didn’t obtain a penny” and actually traveled to a Harris occasion at her personal expense.

Once more, Trump has by no means introduced a sliver of tangible proof to again his claims (per traditional), however that doesn’t matter as a result of none of that is about “unlawful” marketing campaign contributions — it’s a few depressing president whose miserably fragile ego can’t take being publicly criticized, which is an unlucky mentality to have for the president who had the bottom 100-day mark approval ranking of any president within the higher a part of a century.

Trump is not any lion. He’s an offended home cat placing himself via sleepless nights and ego-driven anxiousness, all as a result of he can’t cease obsessing over each public criticism of the so-called “sheep” — who’re principally simply telling the reality about him.
