ARE you a Trump voter beginning to realise prices will rise, government will collapse and you may get deported? Here’s how to rationalise it:
Bank on him being incompetent
Trump has bankrupted multiple viable businesses and ran a campaign in which he appeared ill-informed, mentally impaired and just plain stupid. He’ll likely be equally clueless with policies like 20 per cent tariffs, never expecting other countries to impose tariffs in return, at which point he’ll ditch the idea and blame JD Vance.
You can always change your vote
Google searches for ‘change my vote’ rocketed on election day, suggesting many Americans believed they could do just that. After all you can take purchases back to the store, and what’s democracy but shopping? Make a mental note to switch to Kamala within the 90-day return period.
Trump will be too busy grifting
While standing for office he flogged nasty tat including trading cards, gold trainers and Trump Bibles. As president he made millions forcing state officials stay in Trump hotels. The desire to make a quick buck will always come before governance, so border security will take a back seat to selling new Trump Viagra for flagging patriots.
Musk will wreck everything
Elon Musk, appointed today to cut everything, has already reduced the value of Twitter by 80 per cent, and now he’s going to do the same in government. Every cut regulation will be chased by a swarm of lawsuits and the only functioning element of government will be SpaceX subsidies. The US simply won’t have the resources to follow Trump’s lunatic whims.
Be in denial
Back in 2016, no-one could have predicted a businessman’s attention-seeking run for office would become a cult of MAGA types where incontrovertible evidence is simply denied. So pretend everything is fine. Difficult when it’s you personally being hooded and shackled, but maybe the Border Patrol are taking you to Disney World?
He might die
Trump doesn’t look well, or live healthily. He only seemed vigorous in comparison to Biden who looks like he’ll finish his presidency by ouija board. The 47th president is almost 80, considerably overweight and has something grievously wrong with his bowels. Basically it’s a race against time between installing a fascist regime and a fatal shart.
