Trump has hissy fit over late night comics mocking him: "He's a fragile little snowflake"



 Trump can't stand it when the yolks on him:

This is from HUFFPOST today:

Trump Just Threw A Middle-Of-The-Night Tantrum Over Late Shows Mocking Him


By chance an ad for a new Amazon Prime show, The Burial, was placed in the story here:

The premise of the movie, based on a true story (from Wikipedia) is:

In 1995, Willie E. Gary, an unconventional personal injury lawyer with an impressive track record, helps financially troubled funeral home owner Jeremiah Joseph O'Keefe sue a large funeral home company, the Loewen Group, over a contractual dispute. Gary ultimately won a $500 million jury verdict and the Loewen Group filed for bankruptcy.
I like that the lawyer, Willie E. Gray, is played by Jamie Foxx because Trump has been having, to put it mildly, a lot of trouble with attorneys who happen to be Black.

Of course the placement of this ad is accidental (or is it?) but I like that it is just above the line about Jimmy Kimmel calling Trump a fragile little snowflake who can't handle a little humor.

Check this out:


A couple of the best lines:“You’d think the guy who fathered Eric and Don Jr. would know how to handle jokes” and “maybe this is why Donald and Melania sleep in separate bedrooms. She was laughing too hard at my monologue at night.” Another: "he's so fat they renamed the plane Air Force Wonder Bread." Not funny, Kimmel plays about a dozen clips of Trump defending free speech.


We know that Trump is not only interested in watching people fawn over him on television but also in watching what his critics have to say about him. He's commented about what Joe and Mika say on "Morning Joe" and that he is especially sensitive to being made fun of by comedians.

There is ample material for mocking the megalomanical malignant narcissist but late night comic writers still have to be espcially orginal and sharp because they are all competing with each other to see if they get what must be a covetted attack from Trump in a social media post which will then be reposted in the media. Trump may not realize, or care, that when he attacks a late night comic he gives them free publicity.

For somebody who fancies and fantacisizes himself as a tough guy he seems oblivious to the fact that a real tough guy, that is someone (male, female, or other) who is secure in their identity, wouldn't be bothered by these jokes and if they are really comfortable with themselves they would be able to laugh at the better jokes.

At the end of 2019 the Trump campaign launched a website to help supporters "beat snowflake relatives in arguments *read article)" and both Trump and his MAGA army consistently call liberals snowflakes.

Wiki defines snowflake as a derogatory slang term for a person, implying that they have an inflated sense of uniqueness, an unwarranted sense of entitlement, or are overly emotional, easily offended, and unable to deal with opposing opinions.

So, Mr. Trump, who's the real snowflake?

Since a real snowflake, a dry one at least, is fluffy and if caught in your hand will quickly melt, Jimmy Kimmel's calling Trump a fragile little snowflake is on point although I might have called him a large fluffy snowflake who melts into an insignificant puddle in the palm of the hand when he's made fun of.


Addendum: 

No offense meant to real snowflakes which are a marvel of nature and truly beautiful.

snowflake is a single ice crystal that has achieved a sufficient size, and may have amalgamated with others, which falls through the Earth's atmosphere as snow. Each flake nucleates around a tiny particle in supersaturated air masses by attracting supercooled cloud water droplets, which freeze and accrete in crystal form. Complex shapes emerge as the flake moves through differing temperature and humidity zones in the atmosphere, such that individual snowflakes differ in detail from one another, but may be categorized in eight broad classifications and at least 80 individual variants. The main constituent shapes for ice crystals, from which combinations may occur, are needle, column, plate, and rime. Snow appears white in color despite being made of clear ice. This is due to diffuse reflection of the whole spectrum of light by the small crystal facets of the snowflakes. Wikipedia

Trump posts unprecedented  all-caps call for help in extraordinary wee hours post

By Hal Brown

This was the article in Raw Story today:




Here's the Truth Social post referred to:

If you wonder if Letitia James was right in saying Trump was making racist baiting comments (read article) consider that he calls her a racist and then refers to her as Peekaboo James. Here's Mrs. Betty Bowers' explanation as to why that term is racist:

Clicking to enlarge does not go to X

Trump's using the term peek-a-boo, however he spells, it makes no sense since it refers to a game played with a young child, which involves hiding behind something and suddenly reappearing, saying “peekaboo.” 

Trump, who by the way is White, regularly calls Letitia Jones, who lest you haven't noticed (he certainly has) is Black, a racist. Am I going out on a limb to suggest that any White person who calls a Black person a racist is very likely to be a racist themselves?

As I write this on "Morning Joe" the panel is disucssing Trump's remark about migrants "poisoning the blood of our country" which can be taken as racist in that it can refer to people who aren't White having babies with White people. Read Did Trump Echo Hitler with Remark About Migrants: 'Poisoning the Blood of Our Country'?


Meanwhile back into the dark recesses of Trump brain, beware all ye that dare to enter there, we can justifiably ask ourselves why he went from his usual attack and revenge mode into his all-caps exclamation point "HELP!".

The wall between Trump conscious mind and his unconscious where his alien anxiety provoking fears reside is almost as formidable and imprenetrable as he pretends his US/Mexico wall was.

Trump, as I have pointed our many times, is actually a human being. While his personalty dynamics are unusual, like anyone he has a breaking point. He is currently under more stress than he's ever been. Everyone uses psychological defense mechanisms to protect themselves from their fears. Not to detract from this blog with details (you can read about defense mechanisms in many articles with a web search here) denial is the least healthy and the most primitive. 

Many pundits note he uses projection all of the time but my sense is that he does this to some extent deliberately and to provoke a reaction. Denial is always unconscious. 

When there are cracks in the dike of denial you can see some leakage. 

Trump could be like the Little Dutch Boy trying to plug that leak.


Of course if there's a small leak in a dike or dam it's imperative to plug it in time. However, this doesn't always work.
If Trump's dam is failing what we can expect to observe is an increase in his demonstrating self-defeating behavior and his expressing thoughts that seem weird and nonsensical like, for a recent example, ranting about preferring to be electrocuted rather than eaten by a shark.

Addendum/Update on Trump becoming temporary Speaker of the House.

Perhaps by total coincidence Trump used the word "help" but in lower case in another post today:

Click to enlagre (stays on this page)

Here he is hinting that he'd be willing to act as a temporary, i.e. short term,  Speaker of the House until a new one is selected. I don't know if this is meant to be a publicity grabbing stunt or if he'd really do it. Given his ego he just might. It would be problematic in that he'd have to go to work and in addition to hogging the spotlight he'd have try to make the Republicans look good whenever the House was in session.

He might take the job so for a change he could be the gavel wielding judge and bang his gavel on Democrats. 

Watch classic Laugh In Sammy Davis Jr. clip

If he was temporary Speaker he'd probably make the news but he couldn't feed off the energy of his cult crowds at rallies even thought Marjorie Taylor Greene thinks otherwise:

First he offered his help to his dear friends in the GOP House, and then he asked for help from, I'm not sure, God perhaps.
