“Martin Luther King on steroids”.

Trump sure can pick them. You’d think someone who made his reputation for picking top class talent on his hit TV show “The Apprentice”, would have a knack of picking the most experienced and knowledgeable political candidates right? Wrong.

On his hit TV show, “The Apprentice”. Trump was known for or wanted to be known for his ability to recruit the cream of the crop. The reality is somewhat different…

Trump has a track record of cherry picking people, who in the previous administration, turned into an informal political crime cartel. Way too many people to mention in this episode, it would need a special edition, but we can focus on two people that have made the headlines.

First up is a self-confessed black Nazi. (You can’t make this s**t up). North Carolina is a crucial swing state that could win the election for Trump. So, everything needs to be controlled, with no room for error or any negative controversy…

Enter Mark Robinson who is canvassing to be governor for the state. If what he’s done in the last two to three weeks, was in a film, you’d walk out, due to it being too over the top and unbelievable. This is a script that makes Bollywood look gritty and realistic.

Robinson, who Trump questioningly described as “Martin Luther king on steroids”, has entered the news, as comments he made on a porn site called “Nude Africa” have been made public. These include proclaiming himself as a black Nazi, a pervert and he thinks slavery should be re-introduced. These, believe it or not, seemed to be his more liberal beliefs!

I have many questions:

1^st question: why is he leaving comments on porn sites. Obviously, this is nothing a suave, elegant, hirstute gentleman like myself would know about, but I’ve asked some of my less cultured, more unsavoury friends and they’ve confirmed that having and writing political opinions on porn sites is not the conventional behaviour expected on porn sites. Or even behaviour expected from perverts.

Robinson on Racism and Martin Luther King:

“I’m not in the KKK. They don’t let blacks join. If I was in the KKK I would have called him Martin Lucifer Koon!”

These comments were even before his controversial sexist and homophobic firebrand speeches.

Robinson on Abortion:

He faced backlash over 2019 comments in a Facebook video about abortion, when he said “Abortion in this country is not about protecting the lives of mothers. It’s about killing the child because you weren’t responsible enough to keep your skirt down.”

Robinson on Transgenderism:

In 2021, he refused to apologise after triggering a backlash by saying that children should not be learning about “transgenderism, homosexuality, any of that filth”.

Robinson is nothing if not complex and has chosen his own unique way of showing some support for the Trans community. Even though he’s transphobic, that doesn’t mean he can’t enjoy Trans porn. Robinson wrote “I like watching tranny on girl porn! That’s f*cking hot! It takes the man out while leaving the man in!” Whatever the hell that means.

Robinson on slavery:

There isn’t much scope for discussion or disagreement on slavery as its one of those few topics where everyone agrees it’s bad. Unless you’re Mark Robinson though.

“Slavery is not bad. Some people need to be slaves. I wish they would bring it (slavery) back. I would certainly buy a few,” he wrote.

The only advantage of slavery in this sole instance is that someone, ideally a moneyed, well-heeled member of the LGBTQ community purchase Robinson and orders him to become a mute.

In March 2012, Robinson wrote that he preferred Adolf Hitler over then President Barack Obama.

“I’d take Hitler over any of the sh*t that’s in Washington right now!” he wrote.

Four staff members resigned 24 hours after his comments on the Nude Africa porn site were made public. Posing another question; Why did they join him in the first place? Were comments on a porn site the final straw? But they were ok with his rampant sexism, trans and homophobia?

Robinson has denied all allegations claiming conveniently that he was hacked. That could explain his porn site comments, but highly unlikely as it was written over many years and the account was registered in his name with his contact details. Now, how’s he going to explain away the sexist, chauvinistic and homophobic comments which he made on camera?

Too racist for a racist?

Laura Looney, sorry Loomer, (easy mistake to make once you read more about her) is the full time conspiracy theorist and agitator, spending so much time with Trump, its raised perfectly groomed eyebrows even amongst hardcore republican stalwarts.

Like a lovelorn puppy, she’s been glued to his side so much on Trump’s campaigns that there are rumours that they’re having an affair. This hasn’t been discouraged by Trump, specifically introducing her at his rallies as “a beautiful lady”.

Another outspoken Trump supporter, Marjorie Taylor Greene, took issue with Ms Loomer this week over her comments questioning vice president, Kamala Harris’s ethnicity and a post in which Loomer said the White House “will smell like curry” if Harris – who is partly of Indian descent – is elected.

Firstly, for anyone who has ever made curry and then been visited by white people, I can tell you from personal experience that the reaction is always a really favourable one.

Loomer is so racist that Marjorie Taylor Greene has accused her of being too racist. Yes, really, Marjorie, who up to then was the racist in chief of the republican party. How racist would you have to be for another racist to call you racist? And you’d have to be pretty racist to be too extreme for even Marjorie.

This gave me many conflicted feelings, does this mean I have to like Marjorie now?

Things somehow actually got worse when Trump took Loomer to a 9/11 memorial ceremony, even though she has spouted a conspiracy theory that 9/11 is made up and is an “Inside job”.

There has been many complaints and whispers of annoyance even amongst hardcore Trump supporters, so time will tell whether Loomer remains a reoccurring character within Trump’s gilded inner circle or asked to leave by other Trump supporters who are at the less xenophobic end of the racist spectrum.

Haitian pet eaters

Things can’t get any weirder than the above. Just kidding, it’s Trump, where the general rule is that if things can get a lot weirder, they usually will. Another of Loomer’s theories is that Haitian immigrants in the state of Ohio are eating the local’s pets. Trump actually made this claim, with a straight face and no sense of irony, in the debate with Kamala Harris. It was then repeated by his vice president JD Vance and is gaining considerable traction. This despite there being no evidence and the initial claim of a dog being eaten by a Haitian immigrant has been retracted as the Ohio local who made the complaint admitted she made a mistake as she found her dog later. Also, a video of a Haitian immigrant walking around, carrying an animal has been disproved, as he was just removing the animal from the roadside.

But from a person and political party that has claimed for four years that the 2020 election has been stolen without a shred of evidence, you can assume that this story will continue until and after the election, even though no actual evidence will be presented, as that’s how things seem to work right now in Trump’s America!

Next up, the election and the aftermath!
