I despise Donald Trump as much as the next guy. Probably more. Which is why I spend an inordinate amount of time on YouTube watching Brian Tyler Cohen, David Pakman, Luke Beasley, Ben Meisalas, and other anti-Trump people who post videos that expose Trump for the ignoramus he is.

But these folks are preaching to the choir, and while it's wise to keep an eye on the man with a childishly fragile ego, their reports on Trump have become repetitious, and the consequences overstated. Rarely do these presentations deliver on the promises made in the headlines applied to their videos.

They're not alone. All media is in love with the word "bombshell," but what is delivered is little more than a burp. Take these Trump videos, for example. They almost always have Trump saying something stupid at one of his rallies, or offering an incoherent non-answer to a simple question. Then the host explains why Trump's words have guaranteed a loss in the November election.

BUT MY HUNCH is people who support Trump don't care if he makes sense. Catching Trump in one of his all-too-frequent brain farts doesn't constitute a "bombshell."

Which gets me to another word that appears far too often these days — implode. For example, these Trump-related videos having him imploding daily, but we're given more examples of Trump being Trump, getting lost in lies as he rambles far too long, claiming he's demonstrating a unique speech technique he calls "the weave."

It's clear the man has such a short attention span that he cannot complete a sentence, much less a thought, but he wants us to believe he's weaving random comments about sharks, magnets, Hannibal Lecter, toilet-flushing, immigrants, crowd sizes, etc. into a cogent conclusion. He claims he's been complimented by make-believe English professors who marvel at Trump's ability to master this make-believe technique.

PAKMAN, Beasley, Meisalas, et all, often promise they'll show us Trump being humiliated or humiliating himself, but it never happens. Why? Because Trump is incapable of humiliation. If he had any self-awareness, he would step aside and admit he isn't qualified to be president. He might also apologize for how he proved it during the four years he commuted to the White House from Mar-a-Largo.

He also would have apologized for his remarks about Haitian refugees in Springfield, Ohio. Instead, he has repeated the lie over and over, though not nearly as many times as he repeated the lie that he actually won the 2024 election.

That's Trump's strategy. Never admit you are wrong and never admit defeat.

STILL, I CREDIT the YouTube watchdogs for performing a service abandoned by much of the media, particularly newspapers where efforts to remain objective have tilted coverage in favor of Trump, treated as a legitimate candidate when it should be pointed out he's a lunatic. He rants and raves at every rally, but reporters write only about a tiny fraction of what the man said, implying he actually has more than a mere concept of a plan on anything, such as the health plan he's promised since 2016.

God only knows how he'll react when he loses the 2024 election. Another coup attempt? It might benefit us all if the United States expelled Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and the Dakotas and they became a separate nation in which Trump could be the king he so much wants to be. (Ohio residents would be encouraged to move to Trumpinsania and take Jim Jordan and J. D. Vance with them.)

This would certainly go a long way toward re-uniting our country. And when King Donald's rule alienates his former supporters, we might even welcome Trumpinsania back into the United States and banish Trump to an Alaskan golf course.
