Numb. 1477 Goose Steps In Corrected Direction
Here's a breakdown of content and likely intent [of] headline, "TROMPE: EUTHANIZE USELESS, OLD, SICK, MOST UNEMPLOYED".
- Clearly meant to be a hyperbolic and shocking critique of extreme, potentially dystopian, policies aimed at increasing productivity and lowering costs at the expense of human life and social welfare.
Critique of Social Policies: The proposed voter requirements – "Voters Must Prove Employment Or Wealth, Four Grandparents Born Of Two Verified Citizens" – further emphasize a critique of exclusionary and classist, or even eugenicist, social policies.
Themes: The piece touches upon themes of eugenics, wealth inequality, the role of government ("Nanny State"), and the perceived value of individuals in a capitalist society.
The news article about "Trompe" demanding his coin be made legal tender appears to be a satirical piece, playing on the association of the French term "trompe l'oeil" and the concept of "trumpism".
Exaggerated Claims: The piece uses extreme language and demands ("authorize at once or face consequence; namely, he will do it himself").
The use of "Trompe": This is a pun referencing "trompe l'oeil, suggesting deception. This aligns with criticisms sometimes made about Trump and his business dealings.
Outlandish Demands: The idea of a personal coin becoming US legal tender is highly improbable. This is likely used to highlight potential conflicts of interest, as suggested by some commentators in relation to Trump's crypto ventures.
The article claims the coin "will be valid MONOPOLY money" while also stating that [Trump] "accepts only cash, Bitcoin, and 24kt-plus Gold."
"Trompe Plans For PBS/NPR" is] in the form of a meme or a mock newspaper headline, critically commenting on former President Donald Trump and his policies or perceived intentions regarding public media like PBS and NPR.
Key elements and their satirical meanings:
"TROMPE PLANS FOR PBS/NPR: 24/7/365 WALL-TO-WALL HIM": This uses a play on Trump's name ("Trompe") and satirizes the idea of him dominating public broadcasting with content exclusively about himself, suggesting potential authoritarian control over media.
"'Not My Idea, It's What Everyone Wants; They Want To See What I Do, So We Gotta Show Them' WITH BRIEF BATHROOM BREAKS": This mimics Trump's speaking style, including claiming popular demand and self-aggrandizement, with the detail of "brief bathroom breaks" highlighting the absurdity of constant self-promotion.
"Good Use Of Infrastructure Fake News Used To Lie About MAGA; All Other News Sources Shut": This mocks Trump's rhetoric regarding "fake news" and his perceived desire to control or eliminate opposing media narratives, suggesting a dystopian scenario where only pro-Trump news is allowed.
"By ANNE OMINOUS Special to The Now Dark Times.": The byline "Anne Ominous" (a play on "ominous") and the publication name "The Now Dark Times" further emphasize the satirical and critical nature of the piece, painting a grim picture of the potential future of media under such policies.

Numb. 1354 Trump Doctrine
There are two entitlements.
(I am not being wry.)
The first to be born.
The second to die.
I give you my word
on these guarantees.
Anything else?
Not a chance. Please!
NEVER expect
government help.
You need anything?
Do it yourself.
Governments governing
least are the best.
If you don’t agree,
you WILL be arrested.
NON-racial slavery?
I see nothing wrong.
Provides full-employment,
keeps country strong.
Slaves can be fed
two squares a day.
Babies in flour sacks.
What can I say?
Living in shacks,
dressed in cast-offs,
they will be happy
and better off.
No need for tubs,
no need for showers.
They’ll need to sleep
after their sixteen hours.
In MY democracy,
bank accounts COUNT.
You vote your income.
What could be fairer?Slaves will still vote.
Based on their salary.
Which may be minimal.
They lose some, I win some.
Future elections?
No need for concern.
I still will be president
when Jesus returns.
