Going Off the Deep End Over a Toilet

The American presidency is currently going through some of the most troubling challenges in its history. For the first time ever we have, in Donald Trump, a White House occupant who is emulating the behavior of notorious totalitarian dictators such as Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong Un, all of whom he frequently reminds us are leaders that he admires.  

Having an avowed autocrat as the American PINO (President in Name Only) is creating unprecedented challenges that portend seriously disturbing consequences, especially since no one close to Trump is calling him on his BS or seemingly trying to steer him to safer waters. And topping the list of the Trump Sycophants Brigade is his Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt.  With all of the trauma and turmoil that this nation is currently undergoing, Leavitt made a point of highlighting what she regards as among the most worrisome problems that America is facing. And she tweeted her relief that Dear Leader was addressing that problem head on, saying, "When I first learned a toilet like that existed inside the White House, I was horrified.  President Trump is making the People’s House more elegant and beautiful for generations of Americans to come!" 

Thank gawd! Now, along with building an elegant ballroom for Trump to throw parties paying tribute to him. he and his guests will be able to defecate in the luxury to which they are accustomed. How could anyone even contemplate the horror of the loathsome lavatory on the left in the photos above? But now "generations of Americans" will delight in the gaudy "elegance" of the marble amenities that Trump has installed. Well, actually only a handful of privileged elites with access to the Lincoln Bedroom in the White House.

Trump posted seven separate comments about his facility upgrade on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social.  So naturally, Leavitt backed him up expressing how "horrified" she was by the prior state of the rest room. For the record, let's explore just a few of the things that did not "horrify" Leavitt:

• Trump's government shutdown that cut off food aid for children and seniors
• Trump's termination of funding for the USAID that will result in thousands of deaths
• Inflationary tariffs that raise the cost of living of most Americans
• Healthcare premiums skyrocketing by as much as 400%
• Trump's "Justice" Department prosecuting his political foes
• Ministers getting shot in the face by ICE agents
• Trump sending the military into American cities
• Palestinians suffering genocidal attacks in Gaza
• Trump halting military support for Ukraine at the behest of Vladimir Putin
• Murder of Venezuelans in the Caribbean who may have been innocent fishermen
• Trump and Republicans calling peaceful protesters "terrorists"
• Trump suppressing the media that he calls "the enemy of the people" 

It is SO comforting that Leavitt and her ilk will no longer have to suffer from using a toilet that isn't embedded in a marble mausoleum.  And we can now rest assured that Trump is focusing like a laser on the matters that truly impact the lives of the American people. And now he has a place to deposit his excrement-- rather than on top of the people who were protesting his authoritarian aspirations.
