In trying to get through to Trumpsters, we have to first think of how to overcome their resistance to hear anything from “lefty Trump haters.”
In teaching college English—the argument essay—I always said we start off with a point of agreement. Then we state the problem. Then we suggest solutions. We end by picking OUR solution and demonstrate why that would be the best of the solutions.
I don’t know if this can be applied to communicating with trumpsters. Perhaps someone with more patience than I possess could try.
Why else would they fork over $399 for knock off sneakers not shipping until July(if they ever really do); or buy a piece of his booking suit? While criminal conviction might break the cult and criminal proceedings may not finish before the election, we can start the deconstruction with civil verdicts and penalties. The house of cards based on Trump’s feelings about valuec(per Tim O’Brien) wasn’t constructed in a day, so it won’t come down immediately; but we must start! Also, a question; any possibility of Zoom meetings for subscribers along the way? I find them interesting when other Substack writers have them.
Blissed out, insensate, aspiring to the highest eschelon of the trashy gold shoe kind of wealth from their gated communities. I love the positive substacks I follow but no one cuts to the quick like you do and I am so very grateful…Sharing once gain…and thank you for exposing this cult of greed and stupidity that plagues us.
Exceptional piece Nina, at some point Cheetolini’s cult will disappear, with either his death or imprisonment. The majority of his minions are peerless in vacuous idiocy, said truth of the educational system employed in this country!
Deplorables, willingly used to subvert this democracy—but YOU KNOW THEY TOOK THE MONEY when Pres. Biden issued relief to keep the economy afloat once Covid got out of hand—thanks to tRump. They harp over the price of eggs but wear bootlegged, overpriced sneakers.
Well, Jared Kushner dashed off to the Middle East and made a cool $2BIL before the US Archives could lodge an inquiry on missing documents. Missing, top secret binders are still missing. . . Half a billion in court-related expenses still leaves $1.5Bil to invest in shell corporations, South Dakota Kingdom Trust money laundering, and such. I doubt Diapered Don will actually sell anything—he’ll transfer ownership to IVANKA’s shell companies. . .
I know someone who said that the document case is only alleged and nothing was found at Mar a Lago
It was a bunch of lies. All the photos were taken elsewhere. "They" are trying to keep him from running and she has a gun ready if anyone came to her door.
There's nothing one can say to a person like this. She is a former liberal but came to MAGA after she was Born Again. There we go with religion again!
Good piece Nina! The combined weight of all of T’s fraudulent activity is staggering.

His followers are cult members assuredly.

Thanks for that suggestion. I’ve been trying to think of ways to expand the Freakshow. Stay tuned.

Thank you for this informative article and a reminder of just who Trump has always been.

“I love the poorly educated.”
Indeed, he does.

Chicago Ray is not a union member—just another MAGA thug looking for fame and bluster. I know—I asked the Teamster’s Union. The RNC hates Unions . . .
