Yes, that’s the way both Dan McLaughlin and Kylie Smith are spinning it over at the National Review. Listen up, Media! We all know that the president is “unusually thin-skinned and capricious, that he is keenly and perhaps unhealthily focused on what the media are saying about him at any given nanosecond, that he has a short temper and a quick fuse” (Smith). Stop “baiting Trump into the bombastic, combative bunker mentality we all know so well from the past four years” (McLaughlin) by asking him to be, you know, honest!
Honesty is not Daddy’s thing, OK? That’s not how Daddy rolls. Daddy’s big and loose, loosey-goosey, and not just with the ladies. He’s loosey-goosey with everything! He’s a loosey-goosey guy! Don’t expect him to tell the truth! That’s not fair! Let him deny responsibility, let him blame others for his own faults—Hell, let him kill off a couple hundred thousand grannies n’ geezers if it will help him get re-elected! They’re just taking up space and stealing our money anyway!
Don’t mess with Daddy, see! Don’t try to trip him up, make him take responsibility for his words and deeds. Because if you keep tripping Daddy up, he will fall mightily on his big fat ass, and he’ll take us down with him! If he suffers, he’ll make sure we suffer ten times as much! Because that is how Daddy rolls!
