Meet the Trumps - a family of carnies
"The only thing missing is animal abuse - as far as we know."
Before I start today - let me say that I have nothing against carnies. I spent a summer traveling the south with a carnival and was temporarily adopted by a carnie who went by the name of ‘Beanie’. Great summer - he fed me and gave me a nice boxes in which to sleep and shit. Not once did I have to remind him to feed me or change the litter. I felt bad when I ran away. But I’m a cat - that’s what we do - leaving worried caregivers and inconsolable children in our wake.
Anyway, I was thinking about that summer yesterday and I was struck by the fact that the Trumps are carnies - a whole family of carnies.
They roll into whatever small rube-filled community will allow them, promise to pay a fee later, and they set up. (Note: genuine carnies pay up front)
The Trump KKKarnie circus has arrived.
The venues are different from a circus or carnival, but the idea is the same - relieve the locals of their hard-earned cash. The only thing missing is animal abuse - as far as we know. Although a child abuse case could be made concerning the manner in which Barron and the children from the community are treated. Barron is strictly a prop and on the cusp of adulthood. We can expect to see him manning a merchandise booth before long.
His mom comes along for the express purpose of proudly displaying her new ‘kidneys’ to the rubes - and that’s always worth a few bucks, according to Junior.
Ivanka fancies herself a political player and acts as an apprentice, learning at her daddy’s knee - so to speak. We won’t explore what goes on with her father after the show. But I’m certain Jared stands stoically and watches. BTW - I’m totally against incest. Strange I know, considering I’m a tomcat - but we won’t explore that aspect of the cat world - I could tell you stories that would make a maggot gag.
When they arrive Junior immediately starts searching for a dealer - in case the eight ball he brought along runs out. He often misses most of the show, arriving late to do some incoherent and nonsensical ranting about total gibberish. He’s kind of a waste - none of the MAGAt attendees have a clue what he’s on about, and the rest of the Trump carnie folk hide backstage lest they be caught on camera anywhere near him.
Eric generally wanders off and gets lost for an hour or so only to return and spew gibberish to a dwindling crowd. It is rumored that if Eric speaks earlier the take is cut by 20 percent.
And last - Trump’s assorted supporters and fluffers usually have a thing or two to say. Totally off topic, and as incoherent as Junior’s rants.
The evening finishes with the Trumps sneaking out of town lest they be asked to pay the agreed upon venue fee.
