Nightmare before Christmas - the Trump Santa t-shirt collection, by Hal M. Brown

 


If you are familiar with the plot of Tim Burton's "The Nightmare Before Christmas" (see Wiki) you know that it is a story about how the denizens of Halloween Town kidnap Santa from Christmas Town. In the story he is rescued. In real life with Trump there's no happy ending like there was in the movie.

I don't remember which website had the ad shown above on it but it was either The New York Times, The Washington Post, or Salon. These are hardly the websites which have readers likely to buy this t-shirt. 

We already know that Trump has been depicted as Jesus' favorite president. Now we also know if the t-shirts on sale are showing the truth about the sentiment of our favorite chubby Christmas gift giver that he is Santa's favorite. If you have any doubts check out some of what I found when I did a Google Image search of the shirt above for similar t-shirts.

When I was looking online I found a few like these that express opposition to Trump:


Favorite felon has a ring to it. We know which naughty or nice list Trump is on.

The one below may or may not be pro-Trump. It may be meant to be an ironic expression of Trump's phallocentrism (look it up here) or it may be serious.


I doubt Trump would be audacious enough to have someone dress as Jesus at a Chistmas Party. If Jesus did attempt to crash his party (images below from Perchance Photo AI) we know he'd end up unceremoniously escorted out, or worse.

I don't see a self-effacing fun loving Trump dressing up as a rolly polly Santa even though he wouldn't need any padding. It would give him a chance to strut into his party saying "ho, ho, ho, illegal aliens gotta go!"

Here's Trump telling Santa about his plans to deport birthright children along with their illegal families and telling him it means he can finish up early on Christmas night with few presents to deliver.

Threated with restricting sleds from flying on Christmas Eve Santa had give the thumbs up to agree with this plan.




Addendum: If you know anything about the George Lucas, the genius who created Star Wars, you know that there's no way in the universe that he'd agree that Donald Trump was attuned to the good side of the Force or that he could be a Jedi. If he saw this I am sure he would be appalled.


This is how the t-shirt ought to look:


Addendum: There's a lots of advice being thrown around based on assessing what the Democrats did wrong and suggesting what they should do right. This is what I think:

What the Democrats need to do is find people like those in the advertising world who convinced so many American's that by smoking Marlboros they could be the Marlboro Man, or by smoking Virginia Slims they could be some exemplar of  ideal womanhood, or if they were Black by smoking Kools they could be cool. Who wins the next election will be whoever markets their product the best to enough of the people who voted for Trump's sales pitch.

If you can't taste the Democracy killing poison in Trump's Kool-Aid there's something wrong with you.
