Is he? He seems capable of such levels of denial that I donât know that he wouldnât simply enter a perceptive reality where prison is a Trump Tower in Moscow for him and all the guards are horny strippers who love obese old men with faces like melted cheese.

Trump has infamously objected to black football players breaking the mold of what Trump sees as their very narrow role by expressing themselves in even the smallest degree.
Itâs not a crazy guess that the Clemson football team, like many others, contains a relatively high percentage of black athletes, is it? Some image searches seem to support that idea, although I havenât found anything definitive.
And now we see Trump offering football players, if not actual cheap fried chicken, food that is sort of cheap-fried-chicken-adjacent. And playing a song by that famous black guy. The upbeat one who was famous for his dancing. The one whoâs safe to admire and appreciate, because heâs dead, so we white people can remember him any way weâd like.
So perhaps thereâs a dog-whistle in this: Football players play football. They had a great game. We will offer them old music by the dead black guy. We will offer them a huge quantity of cheap food. Football players are âbig eaters.â, so theyâll be grateful. âWe have everything that I like, that you like.â Weâre citizens of the same nation, but this is all we really have in common. Trump canât be a racist, he bought Burger King for those football players. Just like he threw those paper towels at Puerto Ricans.
Know your place, football players.
Here in this thread, weâre all looking for scraps of sense, because we imagine any morsel of understanding, a hint that anything thatâs happening is explicable or predictable, would be a comfort.
I only now noticed the bit where the reporter sarcastically says, right to his face, âThatâs a tough question, not a softball.â Wow. The reporters who are still allowed to bask in his presence have deep contempt for him, and are well aware of his limited ability to detect this.

All that work pricing the spread, and no one fact checked if any White House staff actually have been furloughed. That could be a big deal. The residence staff take pride in their work, no matter who is in office, but how will they feel after being furloughed without pay?

The one about denying a paternity claim. Perhaps that song speaks to Trump on a personal level.

But just think of all those order cooks who can say they cooked for the POTUS on their resume now.
You missed the part where she asked about âquality foodâ!

Also, calling him âspecialâ might be well well-meant, but it can be perceived as condescending. Just refer to him as âa missing linkâ.

Snark all you want about how edible fast food fresh off the grill is, but stuff that has been carted into the White House taken through security and then arranged carefully on the table is at LEAST 45 minutes old, probably more like an hour. That is going to be an un-appetizing pile of lukewarm petri dishes right there.

I mean⌠probably not if youâre not a college football fan. Itâs not exactly a large metropolis. Itâs situated up I-85 in South Carolina about 3 or so hours from Atlanta? The city itself has maybe 12000 and it isnât close to much, honestly. Clemson University is a landgrant university, but most folks know it for its football. They won the championship this year, beating Alabama.

Only if you either A) attend school at Clemson OR B) Are an NCAA Div I athletics fan, in which case you would know Clemson to be one of the top schools in the ACC for athletics and just beat the perennial powerhouse Alabama for the CFP national title. This would be the second time they have beaten Bama in 3 years to win the title.
