I’m pretty sure there’s no disagreement about what the word “martyr” means — it’s someone who is killed for their faith or beliefs.

But Trump believes he’s a “living martyr,” apparently, because a brainwashed, washed-up old wrestler called him that.

“Tyrus,” real name George Murdoch, was once a heavyweight champion. But he’s become a lightweight since he joined Fox News as a frequent guest and guest host.

And I don’t mean he’s lost any weight. I mean whatever knocks he took to the skull while he was pretending to beat people up, they clearly knocked something loose.

Anyone still supporting Trump at this point is at the very least a featherweight mentally, since he’s been adjudicated a rapist and a fraud. Now, Trump’s about to be found guilty of illegally filing false financial statements for covering up the affair he had with an adult film star while his wife was pregnant with their child.

“WE’RE SEEING IN REAL TIME—A LIVING MARTYR,” the former president shouted on Truth Social, quoting Tyrus.

That’s hilarious and stupid on its own, but in the video Trump posted of Tyrus, the ex-champ went on to detail what else he admired.

“He gets in front of the mic, and he just drops it. The crowd’s chanting — you can’t manufacture that. He didn’t hand out scripts for that,” he said. Well, okay, I get that you like him.

But it literally WAS manufactured. It has always been. He’s always pre-screened people who appear at his rallies and pre-screened the questions that interviewers ask him, and manufactured literally everything.

In fact, as liberal outlet MeidasTouch put it:

“As it turns out, MeidasTouch has uncovered that Trump’s Harlem bodega visit was setup by the pro-Trump New York Young Republican Club group which also astroturfed the event and led the chants and singing that Fox News and other outlets are using to claim Trump has overwhelming support among New Yorkers and Black and Hispanic voters.

Trump isn’t a martyr in any stretch of the word. He is being held accountable for his crimes. There have been people subjected to religious persecution or other beliefs that have been subjected to violence and death.

A “living martyr” might be shunned from society or lose out on opportunities. Trump has secured his party’s nomination, has taken over the GOP, is launching multiple business ventures, and still holds popular support with the MAGA cult. He’s no martyr, but he does have cult-like devotees who will chant at a bodega for him.”

Big guy. If you want to be a martyr, do the last part already.
