Folks, we’ve done it. We’ve hit the journalistic jackpot, another headline about—you guessed it—Donald Trump. The big scoop this time? “Down goes Donald Trump.” Sound familiar? It’s like a warped record in the middle of America’s most annoying pop song. Is he down? Will he stay down? Nope, he’s up again! It’s almost as reliable as a boomerang with a homing device.
Every day, it’s Trump this and Trump that. Honestly, if I had a nickel for every time Trump “goes down,” I’d be a billionaire. Can someone please explain why we’re still surprised by any move this man makes? Let’s all feign shock together now, shall we? Ahhh! There, done.
What’s really happening is Trump is merely bending down to tie the laces of his golf shoes before zipping off in his cart to run over more of our collective sanity. That’s right, whether you love him or loathe him (or just want to mute anything with his name on it), he turns media cycles into his own personal merry-go-round.
Trump’s Teflon Returns: Stick Nothing to the Man!
The reality show that is Trump’s life tries every genre: drama, horror, comedy (unintentionally, of course). His teflon coating should be studied by scientists; it’s the eighth wonder of the world. Not even ancient ruins are this resilient! Every controversy, every courtroom drama—slips right off. It’s like watching someone try to nail Jell-O to a wall. Good luck with that.
And then there’s us, the audience.
We’re trapped in this vaudeville show, aren’t we? The pies keep getting thrown, the seltzer bottles keep spraying, and we just sit here with whipped cream on our faces, wondering if the circus will ever leave town. Here’s the truth: it won’t. Not as long as the antics keep the cameras rolling and the tweets tweeting.
The Sitcom Scenario: Anyone Got a Script?
Imagine a sitcom where the same character keeps leaving the room swearing never to return, only to come back with a new scheme in every episode. That’s our reality! I mean, how often can one man dominate headlines? It’s like the news is just a series of clickbait-themed Trump cards. Is this politics or a magician’s endless scarf trick?
Listen, I get it. Trump is captivating in that how-can-you-not-watch-a-car-crash kind of way. But come on, even reality TV shows have a finale, don’t they? When do we get to the part where the credits roll and we can all go home?
So, what do we do?
Well, folks, we laugh. Because if we don’t, we’ll cry—and there’s enough salt water in the oceans already. We remember that at some point, something’s got to give. Even the Energizer Bunny needed new batteries at some point.
Until then, keep your popcorn at the ready and your sense of humor fully charged. Because if history has taught us anything, it’s that you’ll need both. And hey, on the bright side, never a dull moment, right?
So, let’s all tune in next week, folks—same Trump-time, same Trump-channel. And remember, laughter is the best medicine, especially when the news cycle is sick.
