Trump has skin thinner than his wife and an ego bigger than my ass.
HELEN:
Margaret, somebody called me an elitist because I think Trump and his supporters are morons. I wasnt quite sure what being an elitist means these days and I am pretty sure most people using that as an insult probably dont either so I looked it up. After all, Im just a little ole gal born in Georgia and I am not sure I qualify to be an elitist. Now the Oxford Dictionary says an elitist is someone who supports the view that a society or system should be led by an elite. Well that just begged the question: What is an elite? I got confused at first because evidently an Elite is a size of letter in typewriting, with 12 characters to an inch. Of course, for this particular scenario it also means a select group that is superior in terms of their ability or qualities to the rest of a group or society such as an elite athlete or an elite armed forces. My favorite definition of elite, however, is from Merriam-Webster: the choice part or the best of a class. So I guess I am an elitist after all, because I want the best candidate for the job and I know for damn sure I want an elite President and not this orange man-child who is about to take office. And I am in good company. They said Meryl Streep was an elitist after her speech at the Golden Globes. You remember, dont you? That moving speech she gave where she dared to say that we shouldnt mock the disabled and a free press was vital to our democracy
What an elitist that Meryl is. How dare she make speeches about standing up for the disabled and defending the Constitution! Wait
whats an elitist again?
You know Margaret, I was feeling lower than a snakes belly in a ditch after a rain shower about this election. Kellyanne Conway is so good at lying
I mean telling us what is in Donalds heart. And I thought to myself that maybe I should give the man a break. Maybe Trump deserves a second look. Maybe I should show some respect for the office to which he has been elected. But then I thought, nah hes a moron and Im an elitist who doesnt think a society or a system should ever be led by a moron. For goodness sakes, hes not even trying to rise to the occasion. The man is tweeting about national intelligence agencies one minute and Saturday Night Live the next. And shockingly he is paying attention to the latter and ignoring the former. Damn right Im an elitist because I actually do think society should be run by someone with superior abilities instead of an idiot who cant prioritize security briefings over comedy sketches.

An elite athlete knows how to win a game. An elite army knows how to win a war. An elite President knows how to put down his smart phone and look the nation in the eye and apologize for his inappropriate behavior. Hell. You dont even have to be elite. You just have to be decent. Decent enough to admit that it was wrong to make fun of the disabled. Admit that it was wrong to have disrespected and then denigrate women that way. Decent enough to tell the American people that youre not perfect but youll strive to be a better president than you were a man. But we dont have an elite as President-elect. We dont even have a decent person about to hold the highest office in the land. We have a buffoon, man-child with skin thinner than that size 2 model/pin-up immigrant hes married to. And even she doesnt want to live in the same house with him.
Call me an elitist. Its a badge I will wear proudly. Id rather be an elitist than the racist, misogynist, mouth-breathers who voted for Trump. Thats right. I said it. I insulted Trump voters and I wont apologize for it. We all knew what he did and what he said and what he stood for. There was no mistaking what you were voting for. I have no intentions of pulling punches. You people elected a moron and the rest of us elitists get to look down our noses and point our fingers and ask you to explain yourselves. Is it OK to make fun of the disabled? Yes or no? Is it OK to sexually assault women? Yes or no? Is it OK to commit fraud? Is it OK to discriminate against minorities? Is it OK to refer to your daughter as a nice piece of ass? Is it OK to vote for someone who did? If you answered yes to any of those questions, you can kiss my elitist ass. Trump is not my president. I will challenge him at every turn. I will hold him accountable for every ignorant, vapid tweet. I will hold him to the very highest of standards and ridicule him when he comes up short. Why? You ask. How dare I? You say. Because he made fun of a disabled person and thats all I ever needed to know about Donald J. Trump. I mean it. Really.
