MAGA Bombs Could Derail Trump’s Midterm Strategy of Straight-Up Lying to People

In addition to Obama, Clinton and Soros, the FBI is investigating suspicious packages addressed to John Brennan Eric Holder, Maxine Waters and Debbie Wasserman Schultz

Some are saying that Trump’s harsh rhetoric on the campaign trail in which he characterizes his political opponents as criminals, degenerates and all-around enemies of America can lead to real-world violence, such as it did this week when packages containing explosive materials arrived at or were intercepted en route to the homes of former President Barack Obama, 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, and leftist supervillain George Soros. Others are saying that this is no doubt all a false flag conspiracy led by Soros, Obama and Clinton and that the three of them deserve to be shot.

Whatever is happening and whoever is responsible, the events of this week are likely to complicate the narrative as Democratic and Republican candidates formulate their final arguments to appeal to voters before the pivotal midterm elections on November 6. Democrats will surely use this attempted bombing episode to paint the Republican party as a cult of personality in which rank-and-file politicians make excuses for a megalomaniac leader who casually promotes violence and in general lacks the leadership skills to keep his most mouthbreathing of supporters from doing things like this. Republicans, on the other hand, will use this as an opportunity to wait cautiously for Trump to tweet about it, excuse whatever outrageous thing he says as “he was joking” and “he just doesn’t talk like a politician,” and then sheepishly change the subject when Trump doubles down and makes it clear that he was not joking and that he does not give a fuck.

The White House communications team, in particular, seems to be reeling from the days events as the social media strategy they launched late last night to demonize socialism and brand Democrats as the party of violent extremists seems to have stalled around 11:00 this morning. “Another day, another cancelled campaign strategy,” said an intern working on the project. “Originally, we thought we were going to do the Kavanaugh thing for a month. Then, Trump wanted to make a big deal out of the Guatemalan caravan. We’ve got the Jobs Not Mobs hashtag going, but pipebombing your political rivals doesn’t really reinforce that message so well.”

Aides working in the White House have also reported that President Trump expressed frustration that coverage of the attempted bombings will distract media attention from the many lies that he has told in recent days on the campaign trail. One aide characterized Trump’s often duplicitous relationship with the media as a sort of horror movie paradox in which the more you hate the thing that oppresses you the stronger it becomes, and said that Trump appears nervous that without the constant personal mockery from the press about the lies he tells, the Republican chances of retaining the House diminish significantly. Without that constant media attention, the aide worries, the President will feel diminished and weak.

Yes, Manu. Savagely mock the President for using the wrong word in describing how his fake tax cut could do something that is impossible after being passed by a Congressional body that is currently in recess.

Trump supporters, already queuing in lines outside the Bojangles Colosseum a day early for Trump’s Make America Great Again Rally in Charlotte, have said that they won’t be deterred by news of the bombing attempts from hearing the bullshit that they want to hear. “We want to hear about the Middle Easterners in the caravan,” one supporter said. “We want to hear about how the Democrats want to do away with due process and take away our guns,” said another. “I want to hear about how they are rioting in California.”

The more the supporters talked over one another the louder and the angrier they became. “This bombing ain’t nothing but a Deep State hoax,” shouted one of them. “And if it ain’t, well, then whoever sent them bombs was patriots.”
