No, body shaming is not ok. Although he is on tape bragging about sexual assault to Billy Bush, so I'm going to make an exception here. |
Laughing at, not with. At. I mean,
NFT trading cards of the former host of The Apprentice as a cowboy or a super hero or whatever that cost a hundred dollars apiece has to be a joke, like, he's got to be kind of in on it, but we're still going to laugh at him and not with him.
At because of the impossible hubris of a doughy septuagenarian who lost the popular vote twice thinking that anyone but the most ignorant MAGA goon would ever shell out for--oh shit, they
are going to buy these, aren't they?

The rabid-foam target audience. |
Yup. And not even ironically. There are almost certainly people out there who will pay money, like actual dollars, to a deluded gameshow host turned electoral college winner who incited a mob to try and overthrow two and a half centuries of American democracy. All for imaginary trading cards. NFT's, if you recall, don't exist as physical objects, but rather data. Data that only exists on a server somewhere. A server with a massively
outsized carbon footprint. Also, crypto currency is in the mix somehow?
Throw in the former president/wanna be autocrat, and you have everything that's wrong with the twenty-first century: Right-wing extremism, willful ignorance, speculative capitalism, and environmental recklessness, all rolled into one narcissistic fever dream of inflated self-worth.

Hey, remember that time he mocked a reporter's disability? Yeah, that's got nothing to do with this other than that's how I picture him: waving his arms and slurring his speech to make fun of someone's physical impairment. But hey look, you can give him a hundred dollars for a picture of him cosplaying a sheriff. |
