“Let's not let this Deis of dignitaries dress like background actors on Downton Abbey distract from the significant achievement we've made tonight.”
-Jim Gaffigan, AL Smith Dinner
This is an episode of the Twilight Zone, or more currently, Black Mirror.
Look at all the people in that room with Trump, all the democrats who have proclaimed him a “threat to democracy” over and over. And yet, they’re all here celebrating and laughing together. This is an impossible scene given what has been happening for the past 4-8 years. Yet here it is. So think about that. How can this be happening? I know my answer. Second: the fact that Kamala Harris, who is running for the office of the President of the United States did not show up (apparently refused to), and was mocked for it, while Trump not only showed up, but was welcomed and gave a very funny, cutting, and well received speech, is a huge reveal. And a huge comm. No one, it seems, is enjoying herself more, in fact, than the (disgraced) NY Attorney General, Leticia James, who has hounded Trump and tried to destroy his fortune for the past year in court. She is sitting in the back, upper left, clapping and laughing. Trump’s Al Smith speech reminded my of Ricky Gervais’ famous monologue at the Golden Globes, when he obliterated the Hollywood elite with his “jokes.” Unlike Harris, Trump fears nothing and can always laugh at himself.
Jeff Gaffigan’s (a Liberal darling of the Hollywood and comedy establishment) entire speech is a must-listen. In 2020, he stated the following: “I don’t give a fuck if anyone thinks this is virtue signaling or whatever. We need to wake up. We need to call trump the con man and thief that he is.”
In 2024, at the AL Smith dinner, Gaffigan ends his roast with:
“You know this has been an interesting presidential campaign. The Democrats have been telling us Trump Trump's reelection is a threat to democracy. In fact, they were so concerned of this threat they staged a coup ousted their democratically elected incumbent and installed Kamla Harris.”
!!!
Many of the people who have been telling us that Trump is a threat to democracy, and they went ahead and staged a coop, are in that room, canoodling with Trump. Not a care in the world, while the rest of us were in full-on Trump derangement. My stopped 4 years ago.
And here is Trump’s speech. Everyone in the room stood up for him and applauded when he came to the podium. What does this tell us? It tells us Trump is the Real Potus. That Trump has control of all these people. Look at the body language between Chuck Schumer and Donald Trump chatting. There is no way these people hate Trump, or that they have control.
Lastly, this was the greatest burn ever (see video below): “Your party is so woke, that if Kamala loses, Chuck, you still have a chance of being the first female President.”
Is Trump our greatest comic? He is certainly the greatest court jester of our disastrous times.
Happy full moon in Aries!
