Happy Fascist Fools Day

A Plausible Post and Some Questions for America

Donald Trump Truth Social post today:

"Radical Left Lunatic Charles 'Che' Schumer is working with Tehran and the Chinese Communist Party to invade our great country with secret teams of pregnant and transgendered Muslims trained in the manipulation of mail-in voting. These invaders will steal the mid-terms and give birth to anti-American BIRTHRIGHT BABIES! Now that I have defeated Iran, I will enlist our great American MILITARY HEROES in hunting down this ENEMY WITHIN and in building my great White House BALLROOM, which the War Department wants constructed, BELOW COST, very soon!!! I have told FIFA that referees must DISALLOW ALL GOALS scored by teams from TERRIBLE NATO countries during the 2026 TRUMP WORLD CUP!"

No, not really. This is another one of my Trump spoofs, special for April Fools’ Day.

But here’s the thing, with this as with other ones I’ve done, a bunch of smart and informed people had to stop and think before figuring it out (the date today probably helped).

And the reason many folks had to stop to think about whether it was a real Trump post is that it’s all too plausible. It’s not far off (if at all off) from exactly the kind of virulent and insane stuff the 47th President of the United States routinely says and posts. This giant rambling sack of racist, sexist, nativist, irrational, sadistic, narcissistic, imperialist, and dictatorial shit says and posts stuff pretty much like this all the time. His senseless and malignant depravity has no bottom.

It would be one thing if a man capable of such deranged fascist lunacy was the head of a small or medium-sized country. It’s something else altogether for such a man to sit atop the most lethal superpower in world history with his fingers on the button in a world chock full of nuclear weapons on the edge of a full climate catastrophe.

America, you have sunk so low that your “democratically elected” head of state regularly speaks and writes/posts very much like my “spoof.”

America, how do you look yourself in the mirror these days?

Americans, do you care what the world thinks of you?

America, what are you waiting for — full-on global war, martial law, cancelled elections, Amerikan Dachaus for political opponents? Tens of thousands more Alex Prettis and Renee Goods and George Floyds? America using nuclear weapons against civilians again? Mass exterminations in ICE detention centers?

America, how have you not forced this malevolent maniac and thoroughly illegitimate danger clown out of office?

America, how is it, why is it, that you have left this deadly freak back in power now for 14 months and 12 days — this after an earlier insane fascist presidency that ended as some of us predicted in an attempted coup?

America, this is not an April Fools: the mad orange fascist has picked tonight to address you on television concerning his monumentally criminal and insane War on Iran. I’m not making that up. April First is the day he picked to finally do this.

He’s going to lie, delete, evade, blame, distract, and lie some more. Then he’ll start lying, distracting, evading, deleting, blaming, and lying all over again. Almost everything he will say will be absurdly false.

Americans, he thinks you are all a bunch of blind April Fools

America, if your president said that 2+2=4, I’d have to go see if was true on my calculator.

America, do you really think the world can survive another year with the most dangerous criminal in history at the helm of the US Empire? How about another month?

Do really think he has the “legitimate” right to “serve out his term”?

Do you honestly think we can wait this out?

America, when do you rise up day after day with one great opening demand, for starters — Trump Must Go Now?

Americans do you care about humanity, starting with your own?
