The Ghost Busters Stay Puft Marshmallow man may be a manifestation of the evil Gozer but he is saner and more intelligent than Donald Trump.

Watch the Lincoln Project ad featuring an AI generated Fred Trump disparaging and insulting his son Donald by clicking here or above and read the article about it in RawStory by clicking below.

The Lincoln Project’s latest ad may be fun to watch for those who know who Fred Trump was and are aware of how Donald Trump claims to admire him. It must be run on Fox News (they do run ads there) because it has to be seen to get to voters likely to vote for Trump to even view it. If they do, I doubt it will change one vote. For one thing, many of those voters either don’t know, or don’t care, who Trump’s father was. If they do know or care they will probably dismiss the ad as showing how desperate Trump’s enemies are to keep him from assuming the presidency he was cheated out of.

Sure, some anti-Trumpers will find the ad amusing and clever, but so what? Only if Trump himself sees it will it have any real effect and then only if it pushes him over the edge into an impossible to ignore psychotic break where he’s seen on national TV swatting at attacking vampire bats (above in my illustration which I admt is snarky but I mean this to be deadly serious) which only he can see and screaming “they’re trying to suck my blood.”

What I am saying is that already Trump is showing signs of mental instability and his base doesn’t care. He has to go bat-shit crazy for all but his equally bat-shit crazy cult to admit he can’t be president.

This blog isn’t going to change the approach of the Lincoln Project and it won’t stop Saturday Night Live and late night comics from wringing laughs out of mocking Trump. I think that the prospect of Trump becoming president again is just too serious a subejct to be handled with comedy as tempting as it is to do so.

I don’t see Putin being mocked because he’s killing people in Ukraine and nobody is going to try to make a joke out of his having Alexei Navalny murdered.

I think it is time to stop treating Trump like he’s some buffoon or that he’s even a mobster. He wants to be a Putin and turn America into a dictatorship.

Look up cartoons about Trump and you’ll see that they all mock him in one way or another.

In a new book by criminologist Gregg Barak,

Indicting the 45th PresidentBoss Trump, the GOP, and What We Can Do About the Threat to American Democracy,

the author lists nicknames for Donald Trump  by the author and criminologist Gregg Barak who describes his history of Trump’s legal troubles as those of a mobster who has long evaded justice for his crimes. He calls him “Racketeer-in-Chief.Outlaw-in-Chief, Con Artist-in-Chief, Houdini of White-Collar and Organized Crime, Teflon Don, and Boss Trump.”

Lamentably, most of the members of the Trump cult like to see him as a mob boss. After all, he’s their mob boss, and they view him as one badass mofukker.

I can see the drawing of the glowering Trump sitting in a courtroom used on the book cover blown up poster size to make a pro-Trump rally sign the way the mugshot was. Some cult members will see him looking like he is planning to order a hit on his enemies starting with the judge and the DA.

If they read about how Trump is like a Mafia boss all they have to do is look at pictures like those below, even the one on the left with his hair blowing in the wind, and they’ll think “he’s my guy.”

While the audiences that watch the late night comedy shows want to be amused and entertained in various ways the threat to our democracy is so grave that I think the comedy at least has to be tempered with some sober talk about the danger this country faces.

I think The Lincoln Project with their talented never-Trump Republicans including among the most well known  George Conway, Steve Schmidt, and Rick Wilson ought to eschew the snark and satire no mater how tempting it may be to troll the thin skinned egomaniac. I almost sense that they put together the AI Fred Trump ad for their own amusement and were particularly self-congradulatory at their cleverness ending it with the A.I. Fred Trump saying “I’ve been dead 30 years and I’m still ashamed of you..”
