You
Can’t Spell America Without Me: The Really Tremendous Inside Story of My
Fantastic First Year as President Donald J. Trump (A So-Called Parody) – Alec Baldwin
and Kurt Anderson (Penguin Press)
As a proud member, in good standing, of Middle America,
you know those backwards bumpkins who have the nerve to live outside of New
York City, Chicago or Los Angeles, I continue to marvel that the high brow,
cosmopolitan types just can’t quite grasp the concept of how the anointed Hilary
Clinton could possibly have lost the election, let alone to Donald J. Trump.
Trump absolutely drives these whack-a-mole liberals to
the brink of their sanity and their reaction comes more often than not in the
form of some high profile celebrity in full on meltdown mode. Probably no
greater example exists than that of actor Alec Baldwin in the form of his
portrayals of Trump on Saturday Night Live. Baldwin is convinced that the
American people just love his smirky, posturing, over the top Trump. And therein
lies the problem for liberals like Baldwin and so many other, who just can’t
quite grasp the concept that Middle America is tired of their horseshit being
jammed down our throats and that they actually contributed to Trump’s victory.
Now Baldwin is trying to capitalize on his Trump by
teaming with writer Kurt Anderson to serve up the book, You Can’t Spell America Without Me: The Really Tremendous Inside Story
of My Fantastic First Year as President Donald J. Trump (A So-Called Parody). You
literally can’t make this stuff up; they included the line “A So-Called Parody,” in an attempt to be
clever and somehow indicate that that this really isn’t a parody, that it is
somehow a real accounting of the Trump Presidency. Parody is defined as a
deliberate exaggeration for comic effect, the problem is there really is much
of a parody here, or for that matter, much in the way of comedy.
What Baldwin and Anderson really end up doing is to run
down a litany of misguided liberalism over the course of the long form. I can
only guess that Baldwin and Anderson believe the polls that show Trump’s
popularity numbers are sagging and that somehow they are hitting the right
notes for the American people. If they don’t understand the negative
consequences of believing polling, then maybe they need to have a chat with
Hilary Clinton and her campaign team about how well buying into polls worked
out for them.
For middle America it’s just more of the same from the
elite liberals and I encourage them to keep on serving this stuff up because it
will just help their folks to continue to lose election after election.
