The real school
I just want to underline how much I hate his high-on-steroids video from yesterday. How much I hate his giddy high-pitched grinning glee.
And especially how much I hate the part that starts 50 seconds in, where he says
It’s been a very interesting journey. I learned a lot about COVID. I learned it by really going to school, this is the real school, this isn’t the let’s read the book school, and I get it, and I understand it.
I hate the content and I hate the style. I hate the style because his giddy squealy good mood escalates – I hate it because he gets all excited about how well he understands it all now. I hate that because of the thousands he’s killed and the thousands he’s left permanently damaged and because of the disruptions he’s made so much worse by being such a feckless piece of shit.
And I hate the content because he hasn’t learned anything, and he never will, and he’s too stupid and narcissistic ever to grasp that.
I had to get that off my chest. Thank you for your patience.
I’m glad you did, it’s been boiling my piss all day. And what can be said about it? No part of that speech needs the slightest explanation of why it’s so wrong and so horrible and why we’re all fucked.
I can’t stand to listen to him at all. His voice makes me cringe.
I got into listening to the BBC’s Newscast in March, which was corona virus themed for a few months. It has an intro that is perhaps 30 seconds long, with clips of people saying covid-related things, and the last one is Trump saying something fucking stupid like “relax, it will be fine, it all will pass”. It took me a while, but I eventually worked out the exact moment to hit the “skip 20 seconds” button to avoid hearing him. Leave it too late, you just cut off the host’s introducing themselves. Go too soon, you get Trump saying “ASS!” straight into your ears, which is almost worse than the full quote.
Without knowing the context, if I heard that I’d assume that the words I’d missed were ‘piece of’, and that he was talking about the princess again.
