Midnight Meme Of The Day!

by Noah

If you've been watching the news this past week, you might have had the same reaction as I did, ie. didn't everyone with a functioning brain already realize that Trump is a flat out racist? I mean, hell, that's a big part of the appeal to those who voted for him. The Trump historical record from his real estate discrimination court cases to his very notorious and very public stance in the Central Park Five case to taking the lead in the Birther Movement to key phrases in his announcement of his candidacy to his KKK rally cries to his "very fine people" moments; the fact that Trump is a racist has been right out in the open and plain as day. It's how he raises campaign money. It's his calling card and always has been. And, his party and anyone who voted for him had absolutely no problem with that fact.

Maybe it was the misogyny combined with racism that Trump just could not resist when he attacked "The Squad" aka Representatives Rashida Tlaib, Ayanna Pressley, Ilhan Omar, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and used the centuries old "Go back to where you came from" theme. Then again, maybe he was just trying to one-up Speaker Pelosi. And, boy, did he. He wants to leave no doubt about being the Mighty Emperor of Racists. He has a reputation to uphold, and, although Pelosi's attack on The Squad was just stupidity and arrogance rather than overt racism, Trump would never stand for someone toping him in the area of unjustly attacking a group of women no matter how small especially four sharp women of color who have dedicated their lives to helping others. Such a perfect storm combo of the fears of Trump and his party really gets to Trump. He's all about hurting people and spreading the human misery. If he sees someone getting in the way of that, especially a political rival, he's sure to explode and he did!

Certainly, the New Yorker knew what Trump is and always will be. They knew before August 2017, almost 2 full years ago when they published the issue I have used as tonight's meme. It's a hot wind that's blowing and we're running out of time to execute an answer to it.
