Why Trump? We Are All “Orange Man”
23rd November 2025
How did we get Trump? This video shows some insight into one reason why Trump ran (love of country is the other reason) and why he is steamrolling over certain lefty Democrats. I never watch the correspondence suppers, my contempt for much of the media was already formed by the time this happened. I have heard funny clips from these dinners but not these clips. Perhaps the media didn’t want to showcase how intolerable their own kind were. Perhaps I wasn’t listening to Rush the day he played it, if he even knew about it.
I saw this clip for the first time this morning and so much more makes sense. The scorn they showed him, the utter lack of respect of him, the joy they had in mocking him in public, we can relate. That is the same scorn we Trump supporters have felt for over 10 years from both sides of the aisle. Heck, there are even a few on ricochet who could use a dose of self-reflection. I’m not referring to those who merely dislike Trump and offer polite disagreement, but to those whose posts and comments reek of the same insulting condescension as the people showcased in the video had. No, we don’t fall for the cowardly explanation that the insulting posts exist to teach us about Trump. Trump isn’t on ricochet so he won’t see them. Trump supporters on ricochet see them and are the target, well, not me anymore. Ignoring them works.
Thanks to ricochet’s moderation, posts here remain mostly civil, unlike the sewer that other social media sites have become. Insulting posts about Trump that push the limits of the CoC will probably continue but who is really the butt of the crude comments and jokes? Trump, his supporters, or the writers?
Watch the Whole Thing.
