Yo Paul. Reince. Mitch. You fools. There’s an easy answer to the Trump Problem. It’s just a matter of how much you can afford, and whether there are any loopholes left for him to avoid paying the taxes.
Look, we know this guy. He’s an open book. He worships money. And, of course, himself.
Don’t tell me you can’t put a package together to take care of the money issue, and you can’t come up with a story to keep his pride intact. Do you need a story? OK:
The World isn’t ready for Donald — what we need is another five years of income inequality and Making People Poorer to get the masses really cranked up. By then the deplorables will be all pissed off at the baby boomers for (need a reason: help me, GOP), and they’ll be dumb enough to be fine with ripping up Social Security. The rest is easy, just point out that he was ahead of his time back in 2016.
Only Donald Can Fix This Mess — the thought here is that, OK, we went and let Hillary take it for four years and Jesus look what happened. The gays have basically taken over. The anti-gun people are louder than ever, despite a number of their leaders being shot. And Bill is STILL A LETCHER. Not like the newly-chastened Donald, who saw the wickedness of his ways, sent roses to Rosie O’Donnell, Megyn Kelly and his first two wives, and has been following Ben Carson to church for the past four years. The man has proved himself redeemable. Now the country — in fact, the world — is in a real mess. And there’s only One Man Left who can fix it.
You All Came Around — this concept stays in reserve unless, of course, the nation continues to slide into the pigs’ trough over the next four years, with, say Bundy/Oathkeeper types taking over the local police forces. In this case it’s Trump’s turn to gloat. Don’t worry. He knows how.
