No Putz Has Offended More Millions in More Places, More Quickly — With No Tipping Point in Sight

How long will rightwingers tolerate siege warfare against the economy, inflation, trade, veterans, legal residents, civil rights, courts, tourism, law firms, and university systems — before quaking in their boots?

Onslaughts of lawless, merciless, helter-skelter destruction, its speed alone exposing the unprecedented power-grab, produce its own ungovernable momentum. No surprise that mass collective protests erupt, in the streets, the media, law schools and the courts. The Trump Horror Show, already primed globally, is the fastest growing American “export commodity” – jeopardizing hundreds of billions in lost tourist dollars, lost foreign student tuitions, and lost confidence in American culture, prestige and commerce. Gosh, all in barely 100 days, with an eternity looming. Except for high-priced lawyers, who directly benefits from such erratic chaos?

Economists barely tabulate the already lost trillions from humongous tariffs imposed willy-nilly. We know that numberless Canadians, Mexicans, Europeans, Asians and Greenlanders (!), thunderstruck by bizarro, shot-gun aggression, now judge America a nemesis to their nations, life-styles and prosperity. Decades of foreign military bullying already tarnish America’s brand; in record breaking time, Trump has doubled-down the global repulsion. Thanks to Trump, anti-Americanism is ripping apart absurd MAGA delusions about Yankee exceptionalism – except as the exceptional international pariah.

Domestic outrage matches overseas repulsion, with 750 resistance street protests this weekend. Aside from MAGA sycophants, what sane adult is not recoiling in horror? Certainly that includes the dumbstruck CEOs who realize they got ambushed: Trump’s top priority was retribution, not lower taxes, fewer regulations and higher profits. Conservative farmers are aghast at tariff inflation. Old soldiers (already incurring Trump scorn) and marginal seniors are terrified at cuts to basic, life-sustaining services, whether by the VA, Medicare or Social Security. Food banks, food programs and sick Medicaid recipients are left in the lurch –let alone myriads of D.C. professionals brutally dumped by Trump/Musk/Doge wackadoodles.

No putz, at least in American history, has ever offended more multitudes than Trump in such a short time – and the fierce counteraction is just starting. Consider the magnitude of the Great Trump Tornado, blasting away at whatever MAGA perceives as the “enemy,” in total denial about devastating outcomes. MAGA cruelty refuses to hear cries of pain and suffering (even their own). On display is a death and destruction trip by a criminal president desperate to act the TV dictator as long as vengeful pugnacity works. Trump has never known what “too much” means until a clear, higher power, whether a father figure, the courts or the electorate, enforce reality on delusions of grandeur.

1. So unkind to putzes who do not deserve being categorized with the Quintessential Putz /nt

2. There's something really wrong with people who believe that kids free school lunches are the enemy

3. Until they "own" or "pwn" the evil libtards (whatever the hell that means).

Stupid idiots.
