I’m pretty sure since Donald Trump doesn’t read anything, except the comics inside a Bazooka Joe wrapper, if he were to read the word “accelerant” next to his name, he’d say, “No, it said ‘Trump the Excellent.’ Come on- because as we all know, I am really very excellent.”

He wasn’t “very excellent” on Wednesday.

In a shocking display of violence and disrespect for our nation’s democracy and the U.S. Capitol building, an angry mob of thousands of pro-Trump protesters stormed the premises, breaking windows, desecrating a federal building and weilded weapons and pipe bombs – all of this at Trump’s command – to overturn the Electoral College vote and the certification of Joe Biden’s win.

Many are saying this will be Trump’s legacy. How fitting.

One late night host called this, “Treason Finale.”

Don, Jr. told protestors at the rally to, “Stand up and fight.”

Rudy Guiliani told the crowd at the rally, “If we’re wrong, we will be made fools of. Let’s have trial by combat.”

Guiliani, who was once America’s mayor, is now the nation’s laughing stock.

Six months ago Trump demanded Capitol protesters serve 10-year prison terms.

Let’s see how much demanding Trump does now.

And we thought the worst thing that he would do all week is plead for votes in Georgia.

“Fellas, I need 11,000 votes,” Trump begged. “Give me a break.”

The Capitol was locked down as lawmakers and staff members were forced to barricade themselves in their offices to hide from rioters.

The events unfolded after pro-Trump protesters attended a rally hosted by Trump where he incited the insurrection with a speech, saying, “We’re going to walk down to the Capitol. Show your strength. You have to be strong.”

Trump even went so far as to say, “I will be there with you.” He wasn’t.

Protesters carried Confederate flags in the Capitol after breaching security. Angry supporters wearing pro-Trump swag posed with statues like that of Ronald Reagan for selfies. One protester was even photographed carrying a plinth from a room at the Capitol.

Later, when pressured to release a statement to tell the pro-Trump agitators to leave the Capitol, Trump said that he loved them and that they were special.

Weird that the message that parents share with their children at bedtime is the same one that Trump used to soothe his savage supporters.

Calculated mastermind or the unravelling of a madman? As Trump once wrote on Twitter, “It’s the ladder [sic].”

After the damage, lawmakers reconvened amid broken glass and chairs, ransacked offices and debris, to officially confirm President-elect Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory.

Trump’s people are an angry lot. They’ve been lied to by Trump that the election was fraudulent even after state-after-state courts dismissed with prejudice that the Trump campaign’s lawsuits to overturn state election results were baseless.

“The campaign’s evidence is built on nothing more than speculation, conspiracy theories and a fundamental misunderstanding of the electoral process,” one Nevada judge said.

Trump’s conspiracy theories – which have ranged from windmills cause cancer and to climate change is a hoax- are the stuff that mad scientists concoct. The problem with the previous sentence is that time after time, Trump has shown he doesn’t believe in science.

He’s refused to reject agitators before, including the far-right QAnon movement, calling supporters of the outlandish conspiracy theory “people who love our country.”

Some of those same people who claim to love our country trashed it on Wednesday.

Remember when Trump said on Fox, the news bible, that there was a plane full of “thugs” who attempted to disrupt the GOP convention? What, were they trying to get big-time celebrity Scott Baio’s autograph? (They’re $5 by the way.)

“We had somebody get on a plane ‘from a certain city’ this weekend and the plane it was almost completely loaded with thugs, wearing these dark uniforms, black uniforms, with gear and ‘this and that.’ They’re on a plane,” Trump wrote on Twitter.

I’m sure even TSA finds this completely and categorically plausible.

Trump said this was under investigation, since August. Anyone else up on this? And what a surprise? Trump never backed his story up.

If Trump were Pinocchio, he wouldn’t have to worry about building a wall. He could just use the miles and miles of his nose to make such a pretty fence.

Anyone recall when Trump said that Portland, Oregon has been burning for decades? To which Portland fire officials were forced to say, “We have not been on fire.”

Having to disprove the never-ending stream of false Trump claims is a lot like proving to a child that you didn’t really “get their nose” by sliding your thumb in between the index and middle finger on your hand.

Trump’s biggest false claim through this disaster of a year? That COVID-19 isn’t as deadly as federal health agencies has reported. He claimed that the CDC had quietly updated it’s numbers to admit that only 6% of people who died from COVID had actually died from COVID.

I wonder sometimes if Trump knows the words to “99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall.”

And while Trump insists that he beat Joe Biden, he didn’t. Everybody knows that or can deal with that on some rational level except Donald Trump. The guy simply doesn’t like losing.

But guess what Donald? You’re fired.
