The Longest Month in the History of Time

He Came, He Saw, He Tweeted

February 23, 2017

They said it couldn’t be done…well, I said it couldn’t be done, but we made it through an entire month under the watchful tweets of Donald J. Chrump. We are now 30 days and 198 (That is 66/day for the math-averse among you.) frighteningly stupid tweets into this, for lack of a better word, presidency.

Chrump is working hard to keep every deplorable, racist, fascist campaign promise he made. Deporting 11 million immigrants, building a wall, banning all Muslims, depriving millions of healthcare, stealing from the poor to give to the rich, the tacit approval of  the alt-Right, destroying the planet – all the stuff that will make America great again. Chrump has wasted no time insulting and blindsiding world leaders – friend and foe alike. He is also busy creating the cabinet that do the most damage to the fabric of our democracy. Sad.

Rounding out this Month From Hell, Chrump went to the National Museum of African American History and Culture where he pretended to care about African Americans. After all, he is only a casual racist, not like many of the professional racists, Islamophobes and anti-Semites who populate his cabinet. To prove his love for black folks he told them that he won the election thanks to states like South Carolina – the state that began and still cannot let go of the Civil War – where he “won by double, double, double digits.” He thought this would be a good place to also pretend that he cares about the alarming proliferation of anti-Semitism that has arisen in tandem with Chrump’s ascendance to the throne.

Jewish organizations were unimpressed with Chrump’s no-hearted attempt to stumble through a statement implying that anti-Semitism was a bad thing (Who knew?). The Anne Frank Center said, “His statement today is a pathetic asterisk of condescension after weeks in which he and his staff have committed grotesque acts and omissions reflecting anti-Semitism, yet day after day have refused to apologize and correct the record. Make no mistake: The anti-Semitism coming out of this Administration is the worst we have ever seen from any Administration.” Sean Spicer stood up for his boss with his signature disingenuous whining, “But it’s ironic that no matter how many times he talks about this, it’s never good enough.” Poor little Chrumpy, everyone picks on him for no reason. After Chrump’s pathetic swing and miss, and the latest horrific terror attack on a Jewish cemetery, it was decided that Mike Pence should step up to the plate and take a swing. Pence did better than his boss, at least making contact, but only fouling it off, in part because his facial expression, as usual, conveyed an unmistakable insincerity bordering on treachery.

In other news, though we have (thankfully) not seen hide nor hair of Kellyanne Conjob since she did her illegal informercial for Ivanka’s fashion line, the White House insists that she has not been “sidelined” from appearing in public. I can only assume from this statement that she has been Putin-ed. I for one will not miss her, though my condolences go out to her family.

I. Mangrey reporting. Only 47 months to go.
