Our fearless leader Adrastos started off the week with a critical look at Lindsey Graham. I’ve been watching President Grievance’s reactions to his alleged friend’s death with horrified interest. We all know Trump loves to kick people who seek his favor, but who knew that he’d pursue kicking a dead sycophant with such fervor.
His online acknowledgment was tasteful and touching:
And when he rushed onto TeeVee to talk about it Sunday morning he was clearly very sad about losing such a loyal friend:
Trump on Lindsey Graham's death: "This is a big blow to the SAVE America Act, let me tell you"
He recalled fond memories of the time they spent together:
On Monday though the full impact of losing his BFF really came through:
beyond parody — Fox & Friends hosts are trying to get Trump to pay tribute to Lindsey Graham, but they can't get a word in as Trump rants and raves about the SAVE America Act and the purportedly rigged elections in California
It was clear from the first call-ins that Trump did on Sunday that his motivation was not sorrow about losing a friend. Instead, it his motivation was stealing the spotlight. And while on Sunday on CNN he really did try to keep his Lindsey-only focus, that was only because he didn’t want to answer questions about the utter failure that his presidency has been.
But that gradually morphed into the same old same old “ME ME ME ME ME ME ME” because he just doesn’t care, and that is what he has returned to. Lindsey isn’t useful anymore, even as a punching bag, after his death because Trump doesn’t get to feed off the hurt he would have caused him anymore, and so now Trump has moved on to other things.
I would guess that the reason he is doing that stupid speech about voter fraud on Thursday is that he is furious that the media is still talking about Lindsey. Since Lindsey can no longer serve Trump, so it’s time to erase him and turn all the spotlights back on him.
There’s a clear lesson in here for Trump sycophants: he will not care if you die. Oh you might temporarily inconvenience him, but he’ll just move on to a new lackey, like your sister, and get back to making it all about him and what he wants. He’ll humiliate you even after you die, and you will have ruined your life for, literally, nothing.
I’ll leave you with this:
