[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Nate White, a British writer penned the best description of Donald Trump I’ve ever read:

“Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?”

A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.

Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.

Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.

There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.

And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down.

So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:

• Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are.

• You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.

This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum.

God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump.

And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: ‘My God… what… have… I… created?' If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set.”

GIVEAWAY in honor of the 50th anniversary of the original publication of CARRIE, I’m giving away this gorgeous special edition next weekend to one random winner. Just have to Follow and Retweet to be eligible. Good luck!

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

Donald Trump was the first president in 28 years to not serve a second term, the first to lose the Presidency, the House and the Senate in a single term, the first president in 129 years to lose the popular vote twice, the first ever to fail to hit a 50% approval rating at any point during their presidency, the first to be impeached twice, to be banned from social media and the first to have their home searched for official national security documents, or anything else for that matter, the first serving or former president to be found liable of sexual abuse, business fraud and defamation, the first, second, third and fourth serving or former president to be criminally indicted and the first ever with a mugshot.

The “red wave” never came in 2022, last November’s elections were a tsunami of blue, and since the overturning of Roe Vs Wade, Republicans have lost 8 out of 8 state ballot measure battles on the issue of abortion.

All of this, as they’ve removed their own Speaker, expelled their own member, whittled their already razor-thin House majority down to essentially nothing, maintain a minority in the Senate, and have had signed into law, the fewest bills since the Great Depression.

Oh yeah, and they’re tethered to a quadruply indicted business fraud sexual abuser who faces multiple fairly imminent criminal convictions.

They’ve done nothing about inflation or the prices of eggs, gas or milk, and they’re flat out refusing to do a damn thing about the border, yet they continue to spend our hard-earned tax dollars on sham d*ck pic hearings and phony impeachments.

When you put all of that together, it really is shocking that no one with a single firing synapse wants to see any of them in power, isn’t it?

Let’s talk about “God making trump” shall we.

When Donald was a 5 year-old boy, he was caught throwing rocks at a baby in a crib in the neighboring yard.

When he was eligible for the draft, while his peers went off to war, he sought medical deferments for an ailment he didn’t have.

He left his first wife, who said he raped her, for his second wife who he then left for his third wife, who he cheated on repeatedly.

He bragged about grabbing women by the pussy, cheated people out of their money, stole from charities, mocked a disabled reporter, opined about having sex with his daughter, let Americans die from Covid, and incited horrific violence in order to install himself in an office he was voted out of.

He’s a sociopathic narcissist, a pathological liar, a sexual predator, and a bigoted, hateful, vitriolic criminal conman who refers to innocent immigrants as “vermin”, while praising murderous despots at same time.

He can’t cite a single passage from the Bible when asked, he doesn’t attend church, he spends his every Sunday worshipping at the Basilica of St. Back Nine, and he refers to himself as the second coming of Jesus.

God has turned him into a tomato-sauce-stained sloth-like creature who has to wear a girdle and lifts in his shoes. God impeached him twice, made him lose reelection and visited upon his term in office, a once in a lifetime global pandemic which ravaged our country along with the rest of the world. And then God indicted him 4 times, found him liable of defamation, sexual abuse & business fraud.

God created someone as hateful, impulsive, intolerant, needy, angry, vengeful, selfish, sadistic, depraved, amoral, areligious, idiotic, envious and evil as Donald Trump, made his presidency the most infamous in the history of time, and then he rained down upon him the hammer of justice in historic fashion all so that he could return him to the office he tried to steal in order to “save” America?

That’s God’s “plan” is it?
To reward the physical embodiment of the 7 deadly sins rolled into a senile septuagenarian with the highest political office on the planet?

Yeah, I don’t fucking think so.
