Most politicians hunt more than votes to prove they’re manly enough to bring home the bacon needed to fill the pork barrel called Washington.
Witness Teddy “Sure-they-named-a-cuddly-bear-after-me” Roosevelt. He sure made it clear he was a “Big Game Guy” when he cleared the prairies and the African savannahs to establish his manhood.
Surprisingly, Jimmy “I’m-a-Bleeding-Heart-Liberal” Carter also was listed as a big time hunter. Hard to believe … but he’s ranked in the top five “Presidential Hunters.”
Then there was the photo op debacle of John “Straight-from-LL Bean’s-Hunting-for-Dummies” Kerry, rifle in hand … posed desperately hoping to ooze maximum macho juice!
And even though he was only the Veep, we can’t forget Dick Cheney dumping a load of bird shot right in the face of his “sitting duck hunting partner!”
*****************************
Not to be outdone by this political “macho-madness,” our current President Trumplethinskin has let us know that, he too, is a hunter … but only as he can describe it.
Braggadocio Don brayed to the world, “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters.” I’m not sure that’s hunting … but it involves a gun, pulling the trigger, and killing.
Maybe he’s our new urban style “Great-White-Hunter-President.”
******************************
Here’s the downside of down-and-dirty Trump, the mythical hunter.
Our total non-outdoorsey, nature and exercise phobic, don’t make me walk a step … let alone a mile in your shoes President, recently Tweet-whined, “You’re witnessing the single greatest Witch Hunt in American History.”
Witch Hunt? He said “Witch Hunt!” Who doesn’t love a good old fashioned Witch Hunt?
“Hey Grammy, break out the marshmallows, grahams and chocolate … we’re havin’ a fat-assed Smores’ fire!”
******************************
Trumplethinskin’s greatest “Witch Hunt” fear better be the throngs of “Nasty Women” after his scalp … wouldn’t that hunka-hunka-burnin’ orange hair look great dangling from an “I’m Proud and I Vote” woman’s g-string?
Trump quotes the false god of “MAGA” more than he does “Corinthians Two.” Surely God fearing Jesus loving Evangelicals should pile the kindling high and sauté his ballooning bulbous witchy-ass for bowing down before “False Idols.”
It’s clear that Jeff “The-Troll-Who-Lives-under-the-Fallen-Bridge-of-Infrastructure-and-Lack-of-Memory” Sessions is a true Trumpian Warlock in collusion!
For just a hint of historical perspective … even a 5th grader knows that over 200 people were fried, drowned, stretched, dismembered, stoned, or otherwise subjected to “enhanced interrogation techniques” in the greatest Witch Hunt in American history … the Salem Witch Trials.
Now that’s real Witch Hunting!
Just sayin …
