We were driving from the mall today, and on the way there was one of those huge construction cranes by the side of the highway. On the very top it had a gigantic banner with the words, “Trump. A true American hero.”
Can you imagine a banner saying “Biden. A true American hero”? Or Kamala Harris, or Newsom?
The answer is clear. It’s also clear that any of them could have become an American hero by simply stating something true like “men can’t get pregnant” or “BLM’s leadership embezzled the money good-hearted people donated” or “murals to George Floyd are nonsensical” or “giving puberty blockers to children is a terrible idea” or “lockdowns during COVID were a big mistake” or “we need a dramatic decrease in immigration numbers”, etc.
It’s easy to be a figure of intense fascination these days if one’s ready to state something obvious that suddenly became verboten 3 minutes ago.
Well, if that’s heroic to you, sure. Maybe they’re talking about him surviving that attempt on his life. The banner doesn’t say Real American Hero because Mattel might sue.

Try saying any of it in public and we’ll see if it’s heroic or not.
