| The latest anti-Trump retaliatory rant … |
Although
there’s something many of the ideologues who chant and cheer every time Trump
spews more rhetorical trash ought to keep in mind – the level of contempt is
returned.
AND
IN THE end, the amount of contempt people wind up feeling toward the United
States is escalated – because many figure we were either stupid enough to vote
for the buffoon OR were to weak to prevent a man who couldn’t get a majority of
the vote from rising to the presidency.
Seriously,
people ought to see and/or hear the trash talk that comes from
Mexican-Americans whenever the topic of Trump comes up.
Much
has been written and spoken of the number of piñatas made in the image of
Donald John Trump. Since the ultimate purpose of a piñata is to be smashed by
partygoers, it gives people the chance to vent their contempt by taking a
two-by-four upside the paper-mache skull of the presidential image.
There
also are many t-shirts printed up that take the image of Trump in vain.

I
COULDN’T HELP but notice one shirt I encountered just this weekend when I
ventured into the Taste of Mexico festival – held in various cities across our
nation. I spent a little bit of time Saturday at the one in Chicago’s Little
Village neighborhood.
The
shirt was a mock-up of the Tapatio hot sauce logo – only turning the product
brand name into a Spanish obscenity, and proclaiming that Trump was all about “hate
sauce.”
That,
and it reinforced my long-held suspicion that the way to make anyone look
ridiculous is to portray them in a sombrero – as this t-shirt did to our sorry
excuse of a national leader.
All
provoked because Trump himself has a desperate need for someone to bash about,
and feels Mexico is an easy target, Largely because it’s right next door. He
picks on the one within easy sight. Resulting in the return fire.

| Bashing Trump -- literally! |
TRUMP’S
LATEST TWEETS made Sunday morning were an extension of his threats to impose
tariffs that would escalate steadily against Mexican-made goods being brought
into this country.
He
says he’s more than willing to punish U.S. companies that have transferred
operations to Mexico to take advantage of lower labor costs. As Trump put it in
his less-than-articulate manner, companies will be, “brought back into the
United States through taxation (tariffs). America has had enough!”
While
also referring to Mexico as “an abuser” that is “invading” our society.
Actually,
what we, the majority of our society, has had enough of is the notion of Donald
Trump as president. It’s the reason a growing number of people – including two
members of Chicago’s congressional delegation, Jesus Garcia and Danny Davis –
are calling for impeachment proceedings.

NOT
THAT I think such a tactic would work – because I have no doubt that the ideologue
nincompoops who run the U.S. Senate and would preside over any impeachment
trial would wind up undermining any effort to remove Trump from office – then try
to claim it as “God’s will” that Trump remain in office!
The
fact is that we’re stuck with him through the end of next year, and will have
to hope the political opposition can put together a credible enough campaign on
behalf of a candidate who can defeat Trump at the polling place.

Perhaps
then, we’ll be able to look back on all the anti-Mexico rhetoric and find some
of it amusing – such as the portrayal of Trump in the Tapatio hot sauce sombrero.
Or find it as historically telling as we now view much of the anti-Japanese propaganda
of the World War II era.
Or
perhaps we’ll regard Trump someday similar to how late night television host
David Letterman once put it to right-wing radio host (and Trump proponent) Rush
Limbaugh, when he asked him on live television, “Do you ever wake up in the
middle of the night and think to yourself, ‘I am just full of hot gas’?”
