Putin Cancels Campaign Event with Trump

MOSCOW (The Borowitz Report)—Calling the Republican nominee’s behavior “completely indefensible,” the Russian President, Vladimir Putin, cancelled a joint campaign appearance with Donald Trump on Monday.

Putin, who had been scheduled to campaign alongside Trump at a rally in Columbus, Ohio, said that he would make no joint appearances with the billionaire for the remainder of the campaign.

“As the father of two daughters, I cannot condone or defend Mr. Trump’s behavior,” the Russian leader said in a curt official statement.

In addition to cancelling his appearance with Trump, Putin, who had been expected to spend thirty-one million rubles, or roughly half a million dollars, on Trump campaign ads, is pulling those funds and will instead “focus on down-ballot races,” the statement said.

The CNN anchor and Donald Trump's campaign manager tore into each other in a heated interview Tuesday night, two days after Cooper moderated the second presidential debate — and four days after a bombshell audio recording from 2005 showed Trump making offensive comments about women.

What does Trump actually represent? Who does Trump actually represent?

The fact that Nigel Farage is being brought in to advise him speaks to this. Trump is tipping his pitch at those who think white power, white jobs, and white lives matter more than others, appealing to the notion that the white American is the only 'true American' and that the 'true American' is seeing his (yes his) authority challenged, his employment prospects limited, and his very essence diluted by all those 'non true Americans', like immigrants, the underclass, the media, the political establishment, his political opponents, his business rivals, and anyone else he cares to take issue with.

As with Farage's stormtrooping nationalist rhetoric Trump is peddling the idea that 'true Americanism' is an actual thing, something defined according to whatever conditions he sets, and where simply disagreeing with him marks one out as a 'non-true American' from the off.

What he's peddling is authentic political correctness, not that bleating whinge about being told off for not be nice to people, but the full-on, old-skool dogmatic form of political correctness which measures one's qualifications as a proper human according to one's political beleifs and allegiances - those being whatever is aligned with whatever it is Trump believes is good, right, and true - which is himself mostly. What Trump is peddling is a lie, not one which simply says that his nominal 'true Americans' can have more say, better jobs and better prospects with him as President, but that they should and they will, and that those things should belong to 'true Americans' as of a birthright. What falls out of his political organisation is the same stuff that falls out of his business organisation, his Brand: a mantra of self-entitlement delivered by someone with a massive sense of self-entitlement. He doesn't want America to be great again, he wants 'true Americans' to be greater than 'non-true Americans', and he wants to be the greatest of them all because, I fear, he genuinely believes that he is better than anyone else on Earth.

America, is that the sort of person you want your prosperity and well-being to be dependent on, the sort of person to leave in charge of your sovereignty, your defence, your statutes, your personal finances, your your jobs, your homes, or even your children?

So, in answer to the first two questions: What does Trump represent? White nationalism. Who does Trump represent? Mostly himself, and those who think their politics and/or heritage affords them a de facto right to be in charge of others.

Trump represents trump, and to a lesser extent his fellow 1%ers

Too immoral for Putin, eh...

[Scot Dutchy]

Trump represents how fucking stupid a human being can be. He is the pits.

[pErvinalia]

Yeah, he really embodies all the worst traits a human can possess, short of genocidal tendencies (I'm assuming.. )

The microphone was broken! The election is rigged!

As Donald Trump stepped up his fierce attacks on his own party leaders Tuesday, some supporters also ratcheted up their rhetoric at rallies for the Republican presidential nominee and his running mate.

At a speech in Newton, Iowa, Republican vice-presidential nominee Pence addressed a woman who told him she was concerned about widespread voter fraud and warned that, if Clinton wins, ‘‘I am ready for a revolution.’’

Oh. Another US comedian's attempt at satire.

[pErvinalia]

You had to look that up on Snopes? The Borowitz Report is a well known satire source. And even if it wasn't, it's obvious it is satire. You need to get out of the Hermitude a bit more...

I thought it was obvious it was a satire. But then, this whole thread is a giant piece if satire.

Bit of quiet, please. Have you no manners, or did you simply fail to notice that I'm fishing?
