One thing I find mildly amusing about Trump is, that whenever he starts talking (using that term in the loosest sense of the word) about something he doesn't have a clue of (which obvs is almost always the case) he starts freestyling in the dumbest most ridiculous way possible, just this short of flailing his arms helplessly. Guess that's where all the confused handwaving comes from. Like a schoolkid who has to give a book report in front of the class and has no idea what the book is about, thus throwing out buzzwords, fillers and even made-up words to get it over with somehow and change the subject at the earliest moment, hoping in his idiocy, that no one will notice. The cringe is real.

The less amusing part is, that it actually seems to work. (Cringe intensifies) Meaning both his audience and the media outlets, treating him like a real adult, trying to "interpret" the gibberish he is spouting, actually are dumb enough to fall for it. And that is scary.

Same goes for comedy and so-called "late night" shows that see in him a source of comedic material and not much more. And I don't know – Trump has always been funny in the same way the Joker is funny. Yes, technically, somehow, a bit. But it is only superficial buffoonery and mostly viciousness and violence. And people suffer and/or die along the way, so that should put a damper on the comedic effect for any sane person. But either there are no sane people in US Media or I'm lacking the required sense of humor.

I also find it odd how american audiences in these shows always cheer when another step of non-progress in his trials is announced. I know they get a cue to do so, but don't they get tired of this? There is nothing to cheer. These cheers are a bit embarrassing, actually. It's the impotence of their law on full display for all the world to see. At some point even they have to realize that this is a perpetual cycle of non-development, right? I mean, they have to eventually, don't they?
The most optimistic stance would be to keep the cheering for when something actually happens. But, yeah. No.

Are there really people stupid enough to believe he is "going behind bars"?
C'mon, it's not like he is black and got caught missing a red traffic light. Trump is a white rich fascist fuck who did try to topple the US government. Of course he will not go to prison. He will not even be fined in a way that will hurt him. Just like no rich person anywhere will face legal consequences for their actions. This only happens in the movies.

There is a plausible likelihood that this senile gangster will get another shot at US presidency. Frankly, I find it highly inappropriate to make light of that. Talking about him, yes, unfortunately necessary, but please not in a way that paints him as entertaining or funny.

His adoring crowd of fascists is one thing, but these cheers really make me shake my head.
