Trump Makes Last Ditch Effort To Hype July 4 Bash

Despite reports that his aides are scrambling to fill seats for his last-minute, July 4 bazaar, President Trump made a last-ditch attempt to hype what he calls “one of the biggest celebrations in the history of our country.”

He’s probably going to have to ban the media from covering the speech, or really taking pictures/video anywhere near the Lincoln Memorial.

Then his techs can photoshop up a massive crowd. Bigger than Obama’s, biggest ever.

Carnival barker. If he can engage the services of a fat bearded lady, the “rubber man”, the wolf boy, and the strong woman, he’d have something.

(And now back to my self-imposed exile in a secluded bunker somewhere north of Alamogordo and east of Trinity Site)

The weather is also looking pretty grim - oppressive heat and humidity followed by evening thunderstorms - sounds like a great party -NOT !

To state the obvious, the man and his event are incredibly low energy.

Premature ejaculation? Again? Dear Lord…

Overlooked in all of this is the impact on flights in and out of DCA and connections all along the east coast. There are two scheduled ground stops during the fly-overs and fireworks displays, each of more than an hour. I hope the pilots remind their passengers that they are being inconvenienced so Trump pull another stunt.

Some people say Trump pees sitting down.

I am still hoping that it turns out to be the rainiest. (It would probably be better if it did not rain, and no one showed up, but they would just fake that somehow.)

Lets don’t have your prayers and mine cancelling each other out.

I’m praying for him to give the speech and collapse from the oppressive heat, with the expected outcome of when that happens to an old fat man…

Thunderstorm with waves of hail can pound through the sycophants shortly after as a compromise on the rain bit.

So you don’t like my idea of a bolt of lightning in the form of God’s own middle finger? (I envision it accompanied by a very deep voice saying “away with you, little man.”)

Don’t forget Lobster Boy. He and Donnie are soulmates.

I’m down with that… But that’s asking a bit much of God, to take a partisan stance like this. All of the evangelicals would be Satan-worshippers by the end of the week (if they don’t deify Trump).

I don’t think that it asking too much for God to stand on the side of righteousness. Trump’s existence and continued success (even if just staying out of prison) is ripe fodder for atheists everywhere.

Edit: With climate change, I keep wondering if God has found a way around his promise not to do anything to wipe out humanity again. In this case, we are going to cause our own extinction, and God can move on to a more promising life form, perhaps on another planet.

See Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot…

Or that time that the McDonald’s people shorted me a burger in the drive-through, and I was a couple miles down the road when I noticed.

Naw, God’s kinda hands-off.

I would love to see what a bolt of lightning would do to his hair.

  1. We don’t need him to “speak on behalf of our great country.” That’s what the holiday itself is intended to do.
  2. Anyone else thinking about a well-placed and timed lightening bolt?
