Yeah, "they're eating cats and dogs" was unhinged Trump, but the truly damning highlight from the debate was this. It reveals Trump doesn't believe his job includes being prepared for, carrying out, or even thinking through his campaign promises.

Trump had a very long list of campaign promises from 2016 that not only weren't filled, Trump believes you don't remember them and it's not important, anyway; anger about the cost of living and paranoia about immigrants is enough to win in 2024.

This moment revealed how shallow a thinker Trump truly is, and the shallow thinking he in turn demands of his supporters to continue revering such an inept, cognitively compromised leader.

The Cats Are Not Safe, After All

There are many photos like this of Don Jr. and Eric Trump. They are authentic. They have circulated the Internet widely for a decade now. But in light of the recent manufactured right-wing controversy about Haitian migrants (legally in the USA under the temporary protected status program) eating pets in Springfield, OH, it's worth reflecting on this duality.

Q. Why isn't the practice of affluent tourists hunting exotic animals for sport controversial in the same way as low resource immigrants eating domestic animals for sustenance, even though the former really happens all the time and the latter appears entirely fabricated for the purpose of generating paranoia during an election?

A. Consider the lingering effects of European colonialism, systemic racism and xenophobia, and the pervasive notion that wealthy white men are never suspect or scrutinized for engaging in behaviors objectively worse than those alleged without evidence of minorities and immigrants.
