If I had a nickel for every time Trump "melted down" or "crashed out" I could pay the national debt.

Humor can serve a purpose in informing and building community, but anyone on the left who is high-fiving each other over the sick burn of the smartass du jour is kidding themselves.

Trump has no shame and no self-restraint. While the trolls get their clicks and monetize your despondency, Trump has forced regime change in one nation, is threatening to meddle in another regime change, signalling a takeover of a NATO ally, is coordinating an army of brownshirts to harass and harm American citizens and legal immigrants, manipulating the economy for himself and his rich friends, ignoring rulings re: Epstein and economic reports while ingratiating himself to authoritarians abroad.

Laugh it up all you want, but we are not going to joke or meme our way out of this.
