So, as our title cleverly suggests, Trump is sad because he sees himself as increasingly irrelevant now that he’s not on social media. We have two responses before we get to the report: One, we might just remind you, “Mr. Trump,” that the entire point of removing you from social media was to make you less relevant, so we’re not sure where this “surprised Trump sad” comes from, Einstein. The last time you used social media, you almost managed to topple a stable government. (He was not kicked off for lying, don’t let the MAGAs whitewash history.)

Second, while Trump’s day-to-day thoughts on who is the most awful human being alive, who is the best, which organization is a “disaster,” and which celebrities are terrible – all of that gibberish, has been slowed down, for sure. In that light, he’s less relevant. But just days ago we wrote that his movement is more powerful than ever, more impervious to facts, and more susceptible to propaganda. The lie about the election is a mandatory order such that anyone who tells the truth will be removed from powerful positions. MAGAs won’t even take the “Trump vaccine.” Trump’s thoughts may be less relevant on a daily basis (and we’re sure that’s eating him alive) but his grip on power is still strong enough that both McConnell and McCarthy oppose the Jan. 6th truth commission.

From the report in the Washington Post:

“On the Internet, former president Donald Trump is sliding toward something he has fought his entire life: irrelevance. Online talk about him has plunged to a five-year low. He’s banned or ignored on pretty much every major social media venue. In the last week, Trump’s website — including his new blog, fundraising page and online storefront ­— attracted fewer estimated visitors than the pet-adoption service Petfinder and the recipe site Delish,”

All we can add is that the fact that America has more interest in finding a good pet than checking in with Trump simply means that the majority of the country (barely) retains its sanity. And other than Donald Trump, who doesn’t enjoy a good recipe? Get used to it, Don. Because they’re not even going to consider allowing you back on until you fully accept that you were wrong about 2020 and apologize.

So, in other words, he has no hope of getting back unless he runs for president (hard to do amidst a criminal trial), wins, and then “takes over” social media. The man is a fascist. We can laugh, but he will do it if he can.

Peace, y’all
