Donald Trump’s poorly-attended pity party
A pity party is defined as: “an instance of indulging in self-pity or eliciting pity from other people.” Examples of pity parties in sentences are:
“I’m not going to throw a pity party.”
“I’m not happy about it, but I don’t need a pity party.”
“Donald John Trump has destroyed his own rallies by turning them into long-winded, exhaustive pity parties.”
It is sentence three that I’d like to discuss. Jackie Calmes is a Los Angeles Times columnist and spoke out about the changes she’s seen in Donald Trump’s rallies. Calmes says the quality of the rallies has changed. Where once they were “brash rowdiness,” now the mood has changed, resulting in — self-pity: “These aren’t rallies anymore. They’re pity parties.”
Poor, poor, pitiful Trump. Calmes also says the audience has changed. Where once spectators showed up to hear about “a better future,” now what’s seen is a gaggle of Trumpers who emit “constant catcalls, boos, and their own favorite profanities.”
Ah yes, it sounds like quite the party. I am so relieved that my name is not on the invite list. Well, what does one expect anyway? Donald Trump is the ultimate troll, spreading gloom and doom whenever he goes. Of course, that is going to affect his “rallies.”
Trump also, Calmes says, “saps the crowd’s energy.” But there is one more thing she found, which is quite important. Many in the audience could not grasp Trump’s
thought process.
As Calmes explains, these days, Trump’s thoughts seem to be “swerving wildly from one topic to another.” Here are some examples of Trump’s greatest hits: “You can stop crime in one day, in one hour, if you get really nasty.”
“The great Capitol, Washington D.C., is under siege. I will always defend Medicare and Social Security, unlike Birdbrain.”
Calmes found it all creepy and said in her opinion, the man “is not fit to be President.”
I could not agree more. And what’s really scary about Trump’s unending stream of verbal garbage? It’s happening now every day at every rally, in front of every reporter, in every interview.
There comes a time when one has to admit some unpleasant truths. In Donald Trump’s case, that time is now.
Trump’s stream of consciousness these days is a capsized enemy ship, a wobbly catamaran tipped over one too many a time.
And because of this, nobody knows what will pour out next, HOW it will pour out, and how long the drenching will continue.
He’s becoming a constant embarrassment to everyone around him because he has no idea who he is, where he’s going, and what he’s saying. His audiences have left him, save for a few stragglers, he’s in debt up to his eyeballs, he can’t command a stage, and he’s been indicted on dozens of criminal charges.
THIS, then, is the man the GOP (proudly?) claim as their own! This man may be the GOP’s candidate of choice, who we must beat in November. That task is looking better and better for us with each passing day,
