Return of the MAGA King

Trump wasn’t even the one who started the unpleasantries for a change.  Dunn, or whoever’s really in charge these days, put a flea in FJB’S ear to mock Donald Trump using the term ULTRA-MAGA and then the MAGA King. Here’s the behind-the scenes story of how it supposedly happened.

Go ahead. Start the soundtrack for this painting.

Quoting from the article linked above:

“Liberal, Democratic Party-aligned strategists, pollsters, and think tank experts spent six months coming up with the “ultra MAGA” label that President Joe Biden has begun to deploy against Republicans ahead of a difficult midterm election.

The Washington Post reported Friday:

Biden’s attempt to appropriate the “MAGA” brand as a political attack was hardly accidental. It arose from a six-month research project to find the best way to target Republicans, helmed by Biden adviser Anita Dunn and by the Center for American Progress Action Fund, a liberal group.

The polling and focus group research by Hart Research and the Global Strategy Group found that “MAGA” was already viewed negatively by voters — more negatively than other phrases like “Trump Republicans.”

In battleground areas, more than twice as many voters said they would be less likely to vote for someone called a “MAGA Republican” than would be more likely. The research also found that the description tapped into the broad agreement among voters that the Republican Party had become more extreme and power-hungry in recent years.

The Post noted that conservatives had since appropriated the label, with former President Donald Trump’s super PAC even selling “superMAGA” T-shirts for $45. “Trump Republicans.”

Dunn, notorious for having praised Chinese tyrant Mao Zedong, and for having advised disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein, returned to the White House in late April. President Biden began using the “ultra MAGA” line soon thereafter.

6 months of plotting and scheming by these two. 

Talk about the demented leading the demented…

Here was Joe, putting Trump in his place:

Throwing down the cutlet to denounce his enemy

Then he followed up with this. A string of stupefyingly 

obvious lies. The collapse of the economy since he 

took office was Trump’s fault and all them MAGATs,

 and them ULTRA-MAGATs from Wisconsin (i.e., FL)

 

What did they think was going to happen? Sorry. Shouldn’t use the word ‘think’ with this crowd. What did they guess would happen? Probably not guffaws, horselaughs, and open mockery from around the world. And most especially from Trump, who had just figured out how to make more money for his campaign.

Followed, of course, by Trump and his supporters gleefully embracing the MAGA King label. Then the release of that king’s portrait in medieval armor, chuckling over the Grand Guignol absurdity of Biden’s incoherent declarations of confident, condescending superiority to the stark reality of his endless failures.

If Trump was supposed to be scared, intimidated, silenced, he wasn’t. Under the guise of attacking him, Biden simply handed him more ammunition.
