The Fart of the Eel

Donald Trump:

“China is raping this country”.

Ignoring, for the purpose of this post, the ridiculous use of the word rape, there is nothing with even an inkling of logic in this slightly mad, Qaddafi like statement.

I can only guess that the cry baby Meatloaf ( his fascinating anger management issues notwithstanding), was not enough to hold the ratings on The Apprentice once his high-craziness, Gary Bucy, was fired by his Trump-up-ness..

Let’s be clear. The violation comes when US corporations, having been given (over the last 35 years), some sweet tax breaks and some of the best tax loopholes to crawl in and out of, continue to send their jobs to China. So, if we are using the world rape, it is certainly not China doing the savage deed.

26 Thoughts on “The Fart of the Eel

  1. Let us also conveniently forget our exploitation of China for about a century prior to WWII.

  2. If it’s rape, it’s rape by engraved invitation.

  3. China has got so many major concerns it is still going to be a long time before that country is king of the socio-economical hill. Pollution, major class differences, population control, food, health and resource issues.

    Everything can change in a blink of an eye when those billions of people start to protest look what is going on in the Middle East.

  4. Only in Donald Trumps world is taking advantage of cheap foreign labor and national tax advantages rape by China. It’s rape by our own government, who has failed over the last quarter of a century to look after our interest.

  5. I suppose a “Wonderland or Not” post lends creditability to Trump’s self-promotion of NBC’s season finale of “Celebrity Appearance”. Quite an coup d’état if you ask me. Does Alice know what his announcement might be?

    • Oh, silly me. Trump’s show is “Celebrity Apprentice” not celebrity appearance.

      • How rude, Olivia! You’ve completely ignored my question! Do you, or do you not know, The Donald’s intentions for the 2012 presidential election?

  6. It’s hard to take him seriously, but you are right I think, his rating are falling and this is helping to raise them.

  7. Maybe the media will stop playing into this now. There is hope to that, not a lot, but some.

  8. The media loves him obviously and is hanging onto every stupid statement he makes. The only part of the whole Trump media explosion I like is every Onion article
    But personally think all other media should be fined for contributing to retardation of the American public
    China has come an amazing way in the past decade. Yes we held it back and in many ways helped Japan before World War Two, but when have we ever helped a country become a true democracy?

    • He is really a clown. I wonder is the media retarded or is it really the public …as finances drive ti if the public was brilliant they would not be watching it and it wouldn’t be on.

  9. Yes, Cooper. That’s just the metaphor. Trump wants to be our Colonel Qaddhafi.

  10. And he would be.

  11. But just think of all the comedy central joke material comb-over boy would generate… Gah.

  12. I know a number of people just like The Donald. Inappropriately opinionated and loud-mouthed, none of them get any air time even if they have better hairlines. The media has made The Donald into a “darling,” but most thinking people consider him to be little more than a farting arse. His mother apparently never taught him that farting in public is uncivilized and reflects poorly upon the self.
