By James Lileks — August 27, 2015
Before I say anything about Trump, I had better make my position clear: I have been a Jeb backer since I opened the black box the Establishment sent me, and the device contained within realigned my brainwaves to the proper frequency to receive direct orders from Grand Moff Priebus. I believe Jeb is the best candidate because America wants someone who reminds you of the brother-in-law who made a ton of money in stocks or something and now just does stuff, and smiles at you like he knows you’re going to ask for a loan someday, and you have no idea how many times he practiced saying no. Also, there’s an exclamation point in Jeb’s logo which, like a joy buzzer, gets people excited.
So of course I am terrified of Trump, because he is real and authentic and cares about people who feel that the system has stacked the deck against them, and no matter how many times they put quarters into the machine they’ll lose in the end. You can’t run a casino without having a deep appreciation for that emotion, after all. Also, Megyn Kelly was mean to him, and if it seems odd to some that he can’t get over it, well, when I was in high school I got a hundred dollars for Christmas and I told the cheerleader about it and she laughed and wouldn’t go out with me. I would so block her on Facebook if she friended me.
