So, for a while now, I’ve been trying to find a meme or video that best defines and displays the four years of Trump: the selfishness, the recklessness, the bigotry, the embracing of white nationalist idiocy, his uncanny ability to avoid responsibility for transgressions. Though I came across a few that were close, I never discovered the one that best encapsulated the second-by-second, minute-by-minute, hour-by-hour, day-by-day, month-by-month, year-by-year, decade-by . . . okay, perhaps I got a little carried away — but only with that decade one. It felt like that, though, didn’t it?
Anyway, like I was transcribing, I’ve been seeking this perfect visual descriptor of the Trump chaos fruitlessly — until now. And frankly, it is so self-explanatory that I don’t even need to tee it up for you. So, for those of you who couldn’t wait for this clown car to derail, enjoy!! BTW, even the car being white is metaphorical!
BTW again, I think all of us — even most of you Republicans who voted for him — are glad that he finally exited.
