Sometimes the “end” is just the beginning … play this video and if you hate Trump … brace yourself.
I recently engaged in an argument on-line about Trump … it’s a hobby. Don’t judge me. It’s a pandemic and I have watched everything on television from The Tiger King to Kobra Kai. I’m bored.
One of the other bored souls from the left typed in a way that I could feel the relief oozing from their fingers, “I just can’t wait for Trump to be gone and to fade into obscurity.”
The following is a close simulation of my reaction … that I wish the guy typing it could have seen:
“Oh, honey … he’s not going anywhere.” was all I could respond.
People seem to forget where Trump was truly successful, what catapulted his fame and gave him the platform. One word: branding. A quick summation of branding is people take their name and give it a value, they make it synonymous with something. Then they capitalize on it. Take Kim Kardashian — you can call her an idiot, but she is an “idiot” with billions and you aren’t. She took one (perhaps leaked) sex tape. Boom! Everyone knew her. Mama Kardashian sold a show, the name became even better known. Then, they slapped that name on everything from lipstick to socks and raked in the cash over it. Every last one of them. You can call them dumb, pointless, vapid, no talent, etc. But, they probably can’t hear you over the sound of the coins racking up in their bank accounts.
Trump was one of the masters of branding, long before his Presidency. He made his name synonymous with wealth and excess — didn’t matter if it was partly smoke and mirrors. That name was then slapped on everything from Towers to Ties. He sold a show that launched it to a new level and then used that fame to get used as a commentator on politics, a constant passion for him if you watch his past interviews over the past decades. Those interviews on Fox News and other stations built his visibility in the political realm enough to make a bid for President plausible. Many thought it wasn’t … until they were completely blindside by just how plausible it actually was. And, voila!!!! Here we are today. And, all the people that called him an idiot before, during and after the Presidency better start scheduling their therapy sessions now because, it is only time for the next act.
At this point, I can only speculate. But, I am going to do so out loud to claim bragging rights when this becomes a reality and a worst nightmare for some that I would very much love to watch their faces unfold.
Trump concedes. But, shortly thereafter or perhaps, in my dreams does so in this way:
For the good of the country, I am going to concede this election. I know when I am beat by the Deep State. You tortured me with fake investigations, twisted every word I said, called me every name in the book, dragged me through an impeachment you knew you could never win, disrespected me and my family, ripped up State of the Union speech behind me and the press and Hollywood spent every minute of every day trashing me. I don’t have to prove fraud in the election because the whole four years was fraud. You never gave me a chance. And, now it is MY turn.
I am walking away today. Tomorrow, I will start my own television news station. I am naming it, “Real News”. (pointing to the press covering the concession). Any of you wanting to start doing actual investigative reporting again, feel free to slip me an application. Because I am coming for you. Everything you have been doing in the dark, I will shine a light on. 73 million people are also 73 million viewers. And, let’s face it … an additional 30 million will be too curious to not tune in. Prepare to lose 100 million viewers. I will use the money from that to launch a social media site (pointing at camera). Zuckerberg and Twitter, prepare your investors for the loss of half your audience.
(Pointing to the hyenas with pens masquerading as press). And, to most of you … I have been holding this back for 4 years … fuck you. Did you catch that in the back? Do you need me to repeat it? Fuuuuuck you. Have fun trying to get ratings running stories on how Biden didn’t fall off his bike today! (Drops the mic and walks out with double middle fingers up)
Although, he won’t do it as dramatic as I am hoping … you better believe it is coming. It’s what he DOES. It’s branding. Get ready for Trump TV and The Trump Social Network. And, all the people that called him an idiot, he now has the biggest brand with the greatest value … President. You can’t take it away. You can’t vote it away no matter how many ballots you fill out with Sharpies and dead people you line up to vote.
He has made his name synonymous with going against the grain, against corruption, against the status quo. He shined a spotlight on the imbalanced way the media treats Republicans versus Democrats. He made over half the country hate the social media platforms they couldn’t live without prior because the leadership of those platforms went censor-shit crazy. You stupidly, through your own biases, created the market for him to insert his brand! Tell me who the idiot is?
He made his name equal to that of any American against the rising tide of socialism in our country. You can’t STEAL that from him. And, after January he will ride that brand straight to the bank because guess what? Capitalism wins.
Play that song at the top and dance with me … money, money, money … MONEY!
