Last
Tuesday Donald Trump gave his first/last State of the Union address. Naturally,
he claims it was the most watched State of the Union address in the history of
states, unions and addresses. It was not. Many people didn't watch it because
why bother and found better things to do. For instance, my roommate took two
Advil PM tablets and passed the fuck out.
I
did watch it because I have a blog to write and I was really hoping he'd go off
script. It's going to be offensive either way. But at least when he wings it,
it's entertaining. And there's no point in trying to hide his crazy now. To my dismay, he did manage to read the
teleprompter. Sort of. You know how it's adorable when a child is learning to
read and sounds out all the words? It's not so cute when an adult does it.
Although, I do find it hilarious when he's sounding out industry and puts the
emphasis on the duh. In-duh-stree.
Anyway,
the SOTU was both offensive and boring. If you didn't watch, and you probably
didn't, here's everything you need to know.
Abandon Hope All Ye Who Enter Here
Trump
likes to clap for himself which I think is an awesome idea. I'm going to take a
moment to applaud myself after every sentence I write. Woo hoo! Go, Donna!
You typed the shit out of that!
Apparently,
Chris Christie is now a contributor for ABC News because... I guess, Scott Baio
was busy. Fucking teenage girls. And aging badly.
Trump
called on all democrats and republicans to set aside differences and come
together to find common ground. A mere two days later he tweeted the following:
He
shamelessly took credit for everything Obama accomplished, including being the
first African American president. And went on to state African American
unemployment is at the lowest rate ever recorded. The Black Caucus responded like
so:
And
I'm not sure why it matters, but he's really upset he wasn't able to impress
Jay-Z with this totally made up statistic.
Trump
is super proud of his dumb ass tax cuts. According to him, we were all going to
have a lot more take home pay in February. I went out to dinner with my friends
that night. My check came to $37.89, not including the tip. My increased take
home pay was an entire $37.00. I'm already $0.89 in the hole, not including the
tip. My roommate received an increase of $40.00 and refused to split the extra
$3.00 with me. Cheap bitch.
Donnie
reminded us the motto is “In God We Trust.” Fun fact: The motto came about in
the 1950s when all that Cold War shit started. “In God We Trust” was meant to
piss off atheist Russia. Using God to fuck with your enemies doesn't seem like
the Christian thing to do. Neither does giving a “mulligan” to a man who fucks
porn stars while his wife is pregnant, Jerry Falwell, Jr.
Trump
slipped in something about firing federal employees in the middle of his
tribute to veterans. I have to admit it was almost slick. I had to play that
back to make sure I got it. It looked like he was glaring at someone in
particular. The camera didn't pan to the audience so you'll have to guess who got
the stink eye.
Trump
has ended the war on “beautiful clean coal.” Unfortunately, there is no end in
sight for the wars on beautiful clean air and beautiful clean water.
Very
soon auto plants and other plants will be opening up all over the country.
Before you get too excited about the possibility of new jobs, you should know
when Trump says, “other plants will be opening up,” he means it'll be spring in
a few weeks.
The
healthcare portion of his address was devoted to some creepy Dr. Frankenstein
idea about experimenting on terminally ill patients. I think he wants to
harvest their organs so he'll live forever. I don't know. I kind of tuned out a
little, but it was some kind of demented Lex Luthor shit like that.
The
republican members of congress deemed everything Donnie said worthy of a
standing ovation. I couldn't help but notice one democrat joining in, Senator
Joe Manchin of West Virginia. Please excuse me while I write an open letter to
Joe Manchin.
Dear
Joe,
My
parents live in West Virginia. My dad keeps buying up all the property around
their house so he can pick his neighbors. If he keeps up at the rate he's
currently going, my sister and I may one day inherit the entire state of West
Virginia. You'd be wise not to piss us off.
Best
Wishes,
Donna
Troy
Blah,
blah, blah, trade deals. Blah, blah, blah, infrastructure. Blah, blah, blah,
child care. Child care? Oh. Ivanka is in favor of paid family leave. Paid family
leave is a good thing, but it's not really fair to those of us who don't have
children. I mean, I have family. Why can't I get paid family leave to visit my
sister in the Bahamas? She doesn't live there. It's just where we'd like to
meet up.
He
then addressed the issues of prison reform, crime, and gang violence. You may
be surprised to learn only immigrants are in prison because immigrants commit
all the crimes in America because immigrants are in all the violent gangs. He
somehow managed to segue into immigration reform and regrettably stated,
“Americans are dreamers, too.” While he was at it, he threw in “All lives
matter,” and “The bitch was asking for it.”
Do
not despair for Trump has a Four Pillar Plan For Immigration Reform.
Pillar One: Create a path to citizenship for immigrants who have a job, but also
aren't taking jobs away from hard working Americans. And something about a
moral compass.
Pillar Two: Secure
the border and keep immigrants out so we don't have to deal with the first
pillar.
Pillar Three: End the visa lottery so we don't have to deal with the first pillar.
Pillar Four: End chain migration. Donnie said a single immigrant can bring over an
unlimited number of distant relatives. He wants to limit sponsorship to spouses
and children. I think he's just trying
to avoid his in-laws.
And
that's not all. Act now and immigration reform will solve the opioid crisis. I
have no idea how, but that's what he said. I would like to take this moment to
call on congress to pass a bill which requires the president to submit to random
drug testing. Because that motherfucker is high.
He
shared the heart warming story of a police officer and his wife who adopted a
baby from a heroin addict. It was a compassionate act on the part of this
couple, but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with this information. Or what
it has to do with the state of the union. Do I get a tax break if I adopt a
heroin baby? And if so, how much? Because I'm going to need it to be more than
thirty-seven dollars.
Trump
would like more nuclear weapons and he'd like them to be bigger and more
powerful. It's his Second Amendment right to be a responsible nuclear weapon
owner and stockpile as many nuclear weapons as he wants.
Blah,
blah, blah, terrorists are bad. Blah, blah, blah, wipe ISIS off the face of the
Earth. Blah, blah, blah, troops are never leaving Afghanistan. Blah, blah,
blah, keep Guantanamo Bay open. Damn. I'd almost completely forgotten about
GTMO. I've been so distracted with stupid shit about porn stars and sharks.
Trump
is super pissed the United Nations voted against his divine right to name
Jerusalem the capital of Israel. He has declared the U.S. will no longer
provide any foreign aid to these countries. And furthermore, he'll be suing
them for back rent and breach of something.
Professor
Trump provided a history lesson on the founding of America. The original
settlers had a “revolutionary idea that they could rule themselves.” It's
important to remember these are the people who tried and executed witches.
Blah,
blah, blah, freedom. Blah, blah, blah, Make America great again. Blah, blah,
blah, God bless America.
Jesus
fucking Christ. I thought that would never end.
Shortly
thereafter, Senator Joe Kennedy, III, gave the democratic response. And you know
the democrats are done fucking around when they pull out a Kennedy. He did a good
job. My system was almost completely purged of all the Trump toxins I'd spent
an hour and a half ingesting. All the
pundits and reporters and whoevers said Joe has a great future ahead of him.
Chris Hardball called it Bobby Kennedy-esque. Almost like Joe and Bobby are
related somehow. Also, Chris Hardball has written a book about Bobby Kennedy.
And he can't go five minutes without mentioning Bobby Kennedy. Because he has a
total man crush on Bobby Kennedy. And it's really starting to border on creepy.
Although,
Joe Kennedy gave a great speech, I feel the need to offer him a little
advice. Please excuse me while I write an open letter to Joe Kennedy.
Dear
Senator Joseph Kennedy, III,
You
seem like a good guy, but you are a Kennedy. The Kennedys of the previous
generation got away with a lot of shit. Remember how your Uncle Ted got drunk
and drove his mistress into a lake? Then somehow saved himself, walked back to his
hotel, went to bed and left that girl to die alone at the bottom of the lake?
And not only did he evade any prison time, but somehow managed to be elected to
congress until the day he died? Don't be that kind of Kennedy. We don't put up
with that shit anymore.
Sincerely,
Donna
Troy
Namaste,
Bitches
