Okay, I admit it, I loved Trump working the fryer at McDonalds.
It also triggered a pseudo random train of thought, so buckle up buttercups! Y’all know I’m nuts.
So what if it was a PR stunt? It was nonetheless fun. If I lived in Philly I’d have gone to that drive thru and waited for however many hours it took, just to have the possibility of Trump handing me a Big Mac, Fries & a Coke.
Yes, RFK Jr. would no doubt have something to say about the health benefits of McDonalds food. Rightfully so, & I look forward to him cleaning up the chemical soup that our food has become. Nonetheless, he no doubt saw Trumps point over the weekend. Making America Healthy Again is something for after January 20th.
The pundits clutching their pearls about Trump working in McDonalds have all missed the point.
Trump was having fun, his supporters were having fun, and they were doing it at Kamala’s expense.
Wasn’t it Kamala who has invoked the image of the poor fry cook being harmed by Trumps economic policies? Wasn’t it she who said Trump had no idea what it was like to do menial work? Didn’t she herself say she’d worked at a McDonalds when she was younger? Although no evidence to support this claim has been uncovered as of yet.
Trump just hit her head on. I’d bet every single person in that McDonalds is voting for him.
Trump can say now that he too worked in a McDonalds, and the world has the receipts to prove it. He supposedly said, “I’ve worked in a McDonalds 15 minutes longer than she has.” This may, or may not, prove to be true but for the moment it stands.
“So, all you pearl clutchers, now that Trump has worked at McDonalds in Philly. What else have you got to attempt to degrade / defile / defame / demean him with?”
Are you demanding a redux of “Dirty Jobs” With Trump as the host. Mike Rowe might have something to say about that, or he might say “What the hell”, grab a shovel and work shoulder to shoulder with Trump.
We know from the tree planting memorial at the White House on Oct 10th, that Kamala Harris has never used a shovel in her life. Apparently neither has her husband. That whole event was seriously awkward, and underscored for me the very thing this election has come to be about.
Our government is full of elitists that haven’t done a days physical labor in their lives. Yet these people claim to know what’s best for the majority of the laborers in this country.
That’s the real divide. It’s not about race, gender, or education. It’s about work and workers. It’s about how they feed their families, get to work, heat their homes, and meet their life goals.
Surely the pundits don’t think Trump wasn’t having conversations with those workers asking them about their lives, their hopes, and aspirations.
That’s Trumps secret sauce.
He is able to engage with normal average people. He’s a direct, rough speaking New York businessman. I could see him in his younger years shoveling on a construction site as easily as sitting behind a desk. I identify with him as someone who knows about a hard days physical labor.
That ability is something the abstruse Kamala can’t touch. If she speaks plainly, it’s to wag her finger at us in faux moral & intellectual superiority, putting us morons in our place. When she’s not speaking plainly she’s difficult to understand and it feels like she’s not telling the whole truth.
Obama just tried finger wagging with Black men accusing them of misogyny. It didn’t go over well. Black men are as screwed by Kamala extending the Biden / Harris policies for another 4 to 8 years as any White men. The problem isn’t about her being a woman President. It’s about shitty public policy that has clearly hurt us all.
The way I see it. After 10 years of noise and far too many, mostly false, sprinkled with factual, accusations, I no longer believe anything the news media says about Trump. Every word out of these peoples mouths is by definition misinformation, negative spin, or a flat out lie.
Kamala dropping back to something Trump supposedly did, as an answer for the Biden / Harris Administration failings is being seen for what it is. A smoke screen for her inability to answer unscripted questions or think on her feet.
I and I suspect the rest of America wonder, why the media has unilaterally been saying what they’ve been saying, and why do they always use the same exact words? Do their writers rooms only have one thesaurus between them?
We still don’t know for sure, but It looks very much like the State of New York is going to overturn the 34 felony convictions. If / when that happens it will be very interesting to see if Trump sues them for damages. You know, little things like restraint of trade, slander, libel, loss of income, and the interest on about half a billion dollars. I hope he charges the Fed rate in effect when he turned the money over.
Fun fact, New York prosecutors said Mar a Largo was worth 18 million dollars, which was a flat out lie, the comps showed that. The 18 million dollar valuation was their basis for charging him with fraud.
Mar a Largo brings in 50 million dollars per year. Business properties are valued by the raw value of the property, structures, fixtures, improvements, and by their brand recognition and revenue stream. Mar a Largo is a functional membership based golf course. New York prosecution, in order to make their case devalued the property & improvements and completely excluded the value of recurring memberships to the golf course. So tell me again how fairly those idiot prosecutors calculate property value. Crow all you want about 34 convictions.
When those convictions are overturned, I’m betting there will be a lot of attorneys from the New York prosecutors offices looking for jobs at McDonalds and hoping Biden forgives their student loans because their law degrees will be useless. At least now they’ll know how to run a fryer and Trump will be in the training videos.
Even if those convictions aren’t overturned. The damage is done.
Americans all over are asking, “What the Fuck?” People don’t trust the media, they’re not trusting the government, they’re starting to see that something is very wrong and asking questions, for which there are no answers forthcoming from the government. The latest DHS debacle via FEMA has thrown gasoline on the already flaming dumpster of immigration policy. It’s fortunate too. Because more Americans are asking very basic questions.
Why hasn’t FEMA been moving heaven and earth to help those stricken in the storm zone? How dare any government official say that the people in the damage area should have planned for a Hurricane? What? 300 miles from any coastline? Are you kidding me with that shit? Why do illegal aliens get phones, debit cards, and free housing and American Citizens get bent over by FEMA and fucked? Why does Ukraine get billions and billions of taxpayer dollars while folks in NC, GA, & TN get denied a $750 government loan?
As long as people remain angry and keep questioning these things I think the “Machine”, whether Democrat, Republican, or something larger and more corrupt, will be forced to back off.
The only people still believing the lies are the blue haired, higher than fuck morons that think the Harry Potter universe is somehow real. There’re more average Americans than them.
The threat I’m concerned about is ANTIFA and BLM. They’re the foot soldiers whose one job is to destabilize major cities. Were they to start rioting mid November if it looked like Trump won, they could cause martial law to be declared which might stop the transition of power on Jan 20th.
Believe me I won’t be surprised. At this point breath taking corruption is on display each and every day. The Democrat party at this point will “save democracy” by destroying democracy to maintain power & control.
Let’s say that Trump wins this election clean. Meaning with such an overwhelming number of votes that no amount of cheating would install Kamala without triggering a civil war. Further, let’s say that the New York convictions stand and Trump is disqualified from holding office.
Does that mean that JD Vance is installed as The President in similar fashion to Kamala’s installation as The Democratic candidate?
That would solve concerns over Trumps age expressed by some people. It would also put an end to the renewed demands for cognitive tests of Trump.
(Funny how those demands were dismissed by the media when they were directed at Biden, (and turned out to be needed,) but suddenly are unquestionably relevant with Trump.)
Trump is not campaigning from his basement. He’s out and about, interacting with the public and press. Unlike Biden or Kamala. Heck she isn’t keeping up with Trump, so who needs cognitive and physical fitness testing?
Vance’s advantage is that he is young & strong. Vance is smart and tactical and he seems to resonate with average working class folks. Vance as The President would be interesting because as a former military man he’d be real sensitive to military misdeeds & misbehavior.
If Vance was The President I bet General Milley would shit himself, right before being taken to his Courts Martial, tried for treason, and serving as an example to other corrupt individuals in the Pentagon.
I digress but think Vllad the impaler’s punishment is too gentle and kind for that treacherous, traitorous, bastard Milley. That’s just my opinion and I could be wrong.
It’s possible the “Machine” that’s been driving all this insanity for the past couple of decades, has been painted into a corner. It’s also possible that we could have 12 years of JD Vance.
If he’s a good President, that would be just about the right amount of time to burn the rot out of our government, arrest the criminals inside and outside the government sphere, and avoid a messy uprising.
Sorry for “Attention Deficiting” it today. The wild horses in my thought processes were all competing with equal vigor. At least it’s all kind of related.
Have a great one.
By that, I mean the Fox interview with Kamala Harris and Bret Baier.
Believe it or not, much as I dislike the Biden / Harris administration, if Kamala Harris presented me with a better choice than Trump, I’d hear her out.
