Think you don’t love Eminem? Think again. The Michigan rapper laid it all out at the 2017 BET Hip Hop Awards: If you support Trump, well, you can’t play with Marshall Mathers anymore.
As if we needed more proof that Trump’s a fruitcake,
Each new example just gives us a sick headache.
But he’s nothing if not relentless,
Though he’s increasingly senseless,
And now he’d have us believe he invented the word “fake.”
We owe a debt of gratitude to the New York Times editorial board
for compiling a list of bad acts performed by the president of the United States that his fellow Republicans appear to be just fine with.
Republicans used to care a lot about how a president comports himself, and whether he acts at all times with the dignity his station demands.
But hey, that was then! In 2017, there’s a whole new bar for tolerable conduct by the commander in chief. Our original guide cataloged several dozen examples. Almost five months later, it’s clear that an update is necessary. This expanded list is meant to ensure that Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell and other congressional Republicans never forget what they now condone in a president.
If you are president during these dark days you may: “Mock a foreign leader with a demeaning nickname and threaten his country with nuclear annihilation over Twitter; call for the firing of ‘son of a bitch’ athletes who choose to exercise their right to free speech”; and refer to the White House as a “real dump.”
To hear Trump talk, he’s the only one
Who’s ever stood trial for crimes he’s done.
But instead of courtroom drama,
We get Trump in his pajamas,
That’s how he earned his new nickname: Don Snoreleone.
