THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

For years now Americans have been subjected to daily morning recaps of Donald Trump's crappy-assed, overnight tweets - usually random thoughts and bizarre belchings that seem to be untethered to the reality of everyday life on Planet Earth.  Crackpots in the Republican Party cheer him on, and the cooler heads in the party just smile and try not to draw attention to themselves - especially Trump's attention.

And Democrats sit in a corner, sucking their thumbs and looking the other way while the Emperor dances naked on the world stage.

Nobody in either party wants to risk political suicide by ridiculing the ridiculous Donald Trump.  America's gasbag has been safely secure behind a great wall of public indifference and right-wing press glorification.   Let him talk, it's just Trump being Trump.

But the days of being able to just ignore Donald Trump's raging incoherence and ignorance may be coming to an end.   Over the past week or two the staff of one of our nation's more prominent Democratic politicians has started responding to Trump's unhinged, late-night postings on his "Truth Social" second-tier social media platform with posts on the more widely used "X" (Twitter) in a manner that trolls (mocks) both the style and content of Trump's postings.  The postings by the office of California Governor Gavin C. Newsom are proving to be some of the hottest memes on the internet, securing thousands of likes almost as soon as they are posted.

Trump, by his cartoonish character, shallow understanding of the world around him, and personal pettiness, is highly mockable, and Governor Newszom and his crew have rolled up their sleeves and gotten right down to it.  Here are just a few recent examples:

Two days ago the Newsom team posted an AI image of a bust of his head carved on the leading edge of Mt. Rushmore,  preceding George Washingtom.  Trump has pined openly about wanting to be included on Mt. Rushmore.

Newsom, like Trump, puts lots of words in all caps for emphasis and he peppers his postings with cheap personal insults like referring to Trump  as "TINY HANDS."    (Trump calls the California governor "Newscum.")   The governor and his team, like Trump, also pepper their tweets with exclamation points, and often close with the Trump tagline:  "THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!"

The Newsom mockery of Trump is brutal, hilarious, and unrelenting.  More Americans are following the governor's Twitter account every day and are being swept up in the relief of finally being able to laugh at something the rest of the world has seen clearly for a very long time:  the emperor is buck-ass naked and needs to be scorned.  He has brought it on himself!
