This is light-years beyond Clint Eastwood and The Chair . . . .

It's so far beyond "embarrassing" that I don't even think there's word in English for it. It's also screamingly funny, which makes work in the neologism shop that much tougher.

It's like Frank Frazetta Socialist Realism but hooked to a sub-middle school grift targeting monkeys on mescaline.

Who in blue fuck thought this was a good idea?

and desperate to get Daddy to love him, even just a little, pitch the idea?

"Dad, what if we were to sell trading cards with your picture on them? Like baseball cards, only even more cool, 'cuz you could be dressed like an astronaut and a sheriff and a football player and and and..."

"Oh jeez, Donny, how am I gonna make money on something that? I'd have to pay to have them made and printed and mailed. Costs too much."

"No, Dad, they can be digital! There's this thing called NFTs which are like bitcoin only with pictures! Wouldn't have to mail anything. Just charge for them and people get them on their phones, collect them like on Pokemon Go."

"What?"

"Leave it to me, Dad. One of my kids is pretty good at Photoshop. We could offer prizes to people who bought a bunch of them, like a dinner with you."

"Dinner with me? I don't want to have dinner with any of those people."

"Isn't dinner with you one of the things you were offering on your campaign website?"

"Yeah, but I didn't do it. I was never going to do it, are you kidding?"

"Well, if you never do it anyhow, we can just offer it again."

"Fine, figure it out, but tell me first how much money I'll make. You think the Russians will buy a lot of them?"

Very horribly done. I don't know who put these together, but they should have hired a professional.

I fully expect some 3:00 am "rage truthing" when he finds out everyone is laughing at him and these aren't making any money.

He's really cracking up now, I can feel it.

This is incredible. Who knew that Trump is a Dadaist.

Our reality is now theater of the absurd.

He occupies the role of politician. But he refuses to play the role.

How incredibly absurd.

I find myself asking, “Who does this?” But the answer is always “Trump”.

So that he and the Republicans knew they were still out there and ready to fight for him. Partly as a much-needed ego stroke for him and partly to show the Republicans that he can still make people fall for his nonsense, no matter how lame that nonsense may be.
