Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump gestures and declares

Finally, an Asshole-American president.

That question I had on whether Donald Trump's surging poll numbers were or won't signs of the apocalypse? Yeah, I've decided. Because they've now had actual focus groups to probe why Republican voters like Donald Trump, and it turns out it's because people think the famously assholish ultra-narcisist with the fashion sense of a Bond movie villain really "gets" them!

“He's like one of us," Janet, a former dog breeder, explained. "He may be a millionaire (sic), which separates him from everybody else. But besides the money issue, he's still in tune with what everybody is wanting.”

The only things Donald Trump has been "in tune" with, according to his own best publicity efforts, is the notion that Donald Trump is a genius and everybody else is an idiot. And that the black president is secretly from Kenya. And that Mexico is sending us their rapists. And that he would gold-plate his own son and mount him to the nose of his jet if American law allowed it.

All right, so I guess "besides the money issue" he really does have his fingers on the Republican pulse.

And what sort of president would Donald (no, really) Trump be, dear voters?

“Classy,” Cheryl, a real estate agent, answered confidently.

Yep, we're screwed. Falling comets, lava tsunamis, ladybugs the size of Buicks—the whole thing. Apocalypse, here we come.
