Trump the Usurper in the Age of Sponsorship

Blue Team candidate Kamala Harris couldn't even own her teenage McDonald's employment in the recent Presidential race.  Red Team candidate Donald Trump donned an apron and dared touch the "french fry doohickey" without burning or contaminating his hands.  As Trump hip-checked his opponent's teen resume, McDonald's was in the midst of an E. coli outbreak  

Vice President J.D. Vance has had multiple sponsors, Peter Thiel, Steve Case, various other TechGods and now Donald Trump.  

It is the era of numerous high paying jobs for the politically connected.  In the olden days any one of those jobs would have been full-time.  No more.  Handsome pay comes for insiders by just showing up, thus the Age of Sponsorship.  

Elon Musk is camping at the courtly feet of the President-elect in Mara Lago.  Investors in his numerous companies are yet to speak out about not getting their money's worth.  While Musk disappoints Fidelity, Trump demands it.

What happens when the cult of personality interacts with another cult of personality?  Trump will decide.  

My guess is Trump will usurp Musk's everything, a la Rudy Giuliani.  Afterwards, will Donald spank him with a Forbes Billionaire List magazine?  

Update 11-14-24:  Kara Swisher shared a similar sentiment about the clash of cults.

John Bolton actually cares about national security and wants Trump nominees investigated prior to confirmation.

Update 11-29-24:  Donald Trump usurped his own ethics law by declaring he is above same.  It's a donarchy.

Update 11-30-24:  Trump II announced the appointment of yet another tyrannical rectum, this one for the FBI.  The Red Team will reveal if it is completely insane if they approve this sponsored pick.

Update 12-8-24:  The E Coli of US Politics, Donald Trump, usurped the image of Jill Biden to hawk his latest retail product, perfume and cologne.  It's called "Fight, fight, fight" and mostly covers any Quarter Pounder related "Fart, fart, fart."

Update 12-15-24:  Tyrannical rectum Elon Musk did the following:

As Donald Trump gears up to return to the White House, his favorite billionaire buddy, Elon Musk, is sending a warning to Republicans: Support the president-elect’s Cabinet picks, or else. Musk is now threatening to financially back a primary challenge to any Republican senator who opposes Trump’s nominees.

I'm sure the founders of our country would have wanted the legislative branch to capitulate to the executive.  TechGods?  What is this bizarre class of people?  

Make America Gay Again

There is no joy in political Mudville today.  Petulant middle schooler Donald Trump's risk management ploy actually worked after the majority of citizens took his bizarre political ramblings with a quarry full of salt.  Come January 2025 he returns to the White House to enact the most anti-conservative policies.

Free trade was the political Red Team's mantra for decades.  Balanced budget/deficit reduction stood firmly alongside, even a mere three months ago.  Freedom was more than a strong armed invitation to be just like them.

Trump the Usurper convinced "conservative" Christians to abandon the Gospels and endorse Old Testament kings as a model for their children.  Isn't that the role for the leader of the free world, to be a model for future generations?  

Over half of U.S. voters returned a man to the White House that displays no discernable teachings from Jesus Christ, although Trump has used the name as an expletive.

The Blue Team is despondent, so the lack of joy is understandable on that side.  The Red Team is pulling out Project 2025 from under their cloak of invisibility.  The Evil Steves, Bannon and Miller, are sharpening their political shanks, trying to see how they can be deployed in a scalable high-tech digital world.  

Joy needs to return and not the Tucker Carlson maniacal version.  The joy of being outside on a crisp fall day as flocks of geese honk as they fly south for the winter.  Other creatures that stay have to endure the bitter cold.  That lesson applies to political seasons.

The Red Team gets to enrich Donald Trump by flying to Florida and entering his "court", competing for the political plums to be handed down.  The Blue Team is snowed in, angry and depressed, in what appears to be a dysfunctional family.  

The Reverend Billy Graham grew to regret his absorption into Republican politics.  

He (Graham) also repented of his forays into presidential politics, telling Christianity Today in 2011 that he "would have steered clear of politics." He said he was grateful to have ministered to the needs of "people in high places ... but looking back, I know I sometimes crossed the line, and I wouldn't do that now."

The guardrails for an out of control White House are the Supreme Court and Congress.  It's a dark day when both say to a man like Trump, thy will be done.

It's never enough for those who take and take and take.  There is no joy in the accumulation of earthly things.  Christ taught us to love God and love our neighbor.  So let's make America Gay Again by following Jesus' teachings.  Render unto Trump that which is Trump's.

Make America Gay Again.  

Update 11-25-24:  Trump waved his "Henry F. Potter" wand and shouted "Finite," thus appointing Project 2025 author Russ Vought to head the White House Office of Management & Budget.  Trump did this for the second time.  Remember Trump knows nothing about Project 2025, knows nothing about Project 2025, .... you are getting sleepy...

Update 11-29-24:  Elon Musk and President elect Donald Trump danced to The Village People's YMCA at Mara Lago on Thanksgiving.
