the way to deal with Trump is to laugh at him

Of course we should take his actions seriously. Attacks on Social Security, Medicare, civil rights, the environment, safety regulations,veterans, the unemployed, the underemployed, minorities, immigrants, and anyone else I have forgotten that he's attacking because the list is so long... should be responded to with unity and force.

But his distractions and his fascist stylings are best dealt with by belittling him. That is his weak spot. Sinking to his level only helps him. That's how Mussolini won, by getting Italy to play his game.

As Don Draper said, if you don't like the way things are going, change the conversation.

1. Melissa McCarthy should receive a medal for her service to the cause.

Seriously. Her BRUTAL takedown of Spicer did more than 100 opinion pieces on his inappropriate behavior could even do. We could pontificate for DAYS about how much Rage-y Spice sucks and not made the point as clearly.

One thing we know about Trump AND his supporters, they respect manliness and authority. Humor is the best way undermine those traits. They do not care about facts. We ALSO have facts to support our views, but we need to break down their emotional resistance to the facts before they will begin to listen.

Too much talk, not enough laughs
