A brilliant homage to Hunter S. Thompson, Joe Bageant and gonzo journalism by Matt Taibbi. Some of this could have come straight outta "Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail."
"Watching Trump lean over a podium on the road to the presidency was like watching a stud boar hump a hole in the wall."
" ... win or lose, the run was pure glory for him, a Sherman's March of taboo politics and testosterone fury that would leave a mark on America forever. "
"The president of the United States is seeing things. He might as well be shooing imaginary ants off his suit."
"We deserve Trump, though. God, do we deserve him."
"This is who we've always been, a nation of madmen and sociopaths, for whom murder is a line item, kept hidden via a long list of semantic self-deceptions ... "
"Trump is no malfunction. He's a perfect representation of who, as a country, we are and always have been: an insane monster. "
"Our desperation as a nation to get back to "normal" – that is to say, back to being able to pretend we're a civilized people with justified hegemonic authority ... "
" ... Tennessee's glad-handing, six-faced, wanna-be Napoleon, wheelerdealer Republican Bob Corker ..."
"Trump has been mad as a sack of bees since he launched his campaign."
" ... Trump by his own description is not a splenetic rightwing basket case at all, but just a cleverly disguised cross of God, Norman Schwarzkopf, Coretta Scott King, Gloria Steinem, Pope Francis and, apparently, Cory Booker's mother, Carolyn. "
"Every Trump event is must-see TV now, because no one ever knows when he's going to go on one of his unscripted ape-rants."
Taibbi ends with:
"Until then, he's just the president we deserve, dragging our name down where it belongs. He is miserable, so are we, and we're stuck with each other. Karma really is a bitch. "
It's a long article. Read the whole thing.
