Fascists: they do love a “campaign rally”.

  Someone on a Jalopnik thread yesterday referred to Trump as Il Douche, which is brilliant and perfect and I can’t believe I hadn’t seen it before.

The adoration he gets from those klan congregations he calls rallies is much preferable to Orange Foolius than the actual work and unwanted input from people he doesn’t want to talk to will ever be.

  I’ve said it before- he just wants to watch himself be president on tv.

  Yep. I also think that there’s an intuitive sense from his team that, seeing as he’s going to say crazy shit regardless of where he winds up, casting it to a backdrop of screaming fans may be a better way to show it than having him plaster it all over Twitter.

You know what has the same number of syllables as “Donald Trump?” Nazi punks. Feel free to replace the former with the latter in the following; it works perfectly and I’m finding that it temporarily soothes my current rage as well as it did when I first heard it as a teenager:

It’s your fault!
If you would just vote for the guy, he’d stop campaigning!
But seriously, I think the only universe where Trump doesn’t campaign is one where he won an overwhelming share of the vote.
Even then, I’m not sure he does, seeing as he can cast his stupidity in a much more directly populist light when it is set to the backdrop of roaring adulation.

  even then... that world would also need to be full of easy legislative victories and the media fawning all over him.
  being president sucks, and he misses the adulation

  Yeah that would make sense as well. That’s not a world we’ll ever live in I think, which is on balance a good thing. A campaigning Trump is an insecure Trump.

“why is he already holding campaign rallies fewer than 100 days into his first term?”
Because it’s the only place people cheer for him and don’t call him on his bullshit. People in Washington are meanies!

How much longer can this actually continue though? He’s President, and the Republicans hold majorities in both houses of congress and a majority of state legislatures and governorships. They can basically do anything they want, as long as they can get support from members of their own party (which is proving to be quite elusive—for all the talk of Democrats not having a platform, at least they have somewhat of a common-ground agenda of things they could agree on doing). When the prosperity and greatness that was promised fails to materialize, and if the recently proposed legislation that would hurt many of Trump’s most ardent supporters is passed, will supporters still enthusiastically show up at rallies?
Also, do your damn job. Stop holding campaign events and actually run the country. Stop playing golf. Stop vacationing in Palm Beach every damn weekend. Stop costing the taxpayers so much damn money to ferry your family around the globe in pursuit of moneymaking opportunities. Stop treating the presidency like a part-time job, and stop acting like you’re doing Americans a favor. Either give the office of the president the respect it deserves, or prepare for the consequences: impeachment, being known as the worst president in modern times, a one-term president—a loser.

  No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people.
  All he’d have to do is keep coming up with scapegoats for his failures. His supporters will believe every word.
  It’s actually quite terrifying.

  While there’s a part of me that does believe that, Trump is supposed to be a results-oriented guy who “gets things done” (big things, beautiful things, the best things, nobody does and has better things). Sure there are some die-hards in his camp that will stick by him no matter what, but he also got the votes of many people (many of whom also voted for Obama) who were willing to take a chance on him because they thought he would deliver results, and because he seemed to combine the populist economic agenda of Bernie Sanders with the conservative (hard-line right-wing/anti-immigrant) social agenda that appealed to many in the rust belt. I wouldn’t be so sure that they’ll stick by him unless they start seeing results (and America being made “great” again—whatever that means).

Jimmy B., my favorite part of presidenting is the part where they all cheer for me and stuff. I say “build a wall, Islam is bad” and they all go “yay, you’re so awesome.” I love that part. Can I do some more of that; can I Jimmy B?

Sure Donny, we’ll set up another cheer-for-Donald party and all those people will cheer for you, like your daddy totally should have. Those people sure are lucky to have a great president like you to cheer for.

Could someone inform all parties involved that it’s over and they won?
the response to someone who has a legitimate issue with the way the country is being run into the ground now: you’re just mad because you lost!
the response from president circus peanut about how he’s running the country into the ground now: arent you glad? we won!
