Donald Trump has berserk “fat lazy ass” meltdown
Donald Trump humiliated himself and the United States in jarring fashion yesterday, ambushing Ukrainian President Zelensky in the Oval Office for the amusement of Vladimir Putin. The pushback against Trump, from Americans and the world, has been fierce. Now Trump is trying to change the story by going berserk about… Pete Rose?
Trump has now announced on social media that he’s posthumously pardoning Pete Rose for betting on baseball. Trump is also angrily demanding that Pete Rose be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Trump’s rant is too long and incoherent to bother with, but it ends with this whopper: “Baseball, which is dying all over the place, should get off its fat, lazy ass, and elect Pete Rose, even though far too late, into the Baseball Hall of Fame!”
Well okay then. It’s not a surprise that Trump would be drawn to Pete Rose, who was ousted from the baseball world in disgrace. Actually, come to think of it, Pete Rose was good at his job despite his moral failings; Trump is incompetent and a fraud. But let’s not lose track of why Trump is doing this. His stunt yesterday is playing so poorly that he and his babysitters feel compelled to try to change the subject. So let’s keep our focus on the fact that Trump is an embarrassment on the world stage.
