That godsdamned tiny, jumped up wannabe dictator is talking treason. Why? Oooooh, get this: people didn’t applaud.
Donald Trump on Monday suggested that Democrats could be guilty of treason because of their reaction to his State of the Union address.
Trump complained during a speech in Ohio that Democrats had not applauded during his State of the Union. The president said it was “un-American” of Democrats not to give him an ovation when he spoke about topics like unemployment.
“It was bad energy… even on positive news, really positive news, they were like death, and un-American,” he said.
“Someone said ‘treasonous.’ I guess, why not?” Trump added. “Can you call that treason? Why not. I mean, they certainly didn’t seem to love our country very much.”
“But you look at that, and it is really very, very sad.”
NOT ENOUGH FUCK YOU. Paint me treason colour, drape me in a treason flag, complete with all the treason accessories, and I’ll parade them all over the damn place. I already have one hell of an attitude going about all the tainted, toxic positivity crap, and now there’s this.
For the record, Donny Dipshit, no, you cannot call that treason. For fuck’s sake, have someone look it up in a dictionary and explain it to you, you brainless lump. “I guess, why not?” Aaauuuugggh. Because words have meanings. Concepts have meaning. You. Do. NOT. Get. To. Do. Whatever. You. Want.
There’s video at RawStory, if you want to punish yourself.
Trump should be careful about using the word. Some of his actions are pretty close.

Treason doth never prosper: what’s the reason?
Why, if it prosper, none dare call it treason.

Since I think nationalism is a crime, treason is a sacrament.
Never mind the dictionary (although it might be a good start), how about looking it up in his own country’s Constitution? Oh, wait, that would require him to actually read the document; so, dead in the water.
I know others have suggested this before, but the reign of Hair Furor is looking more like the government of North Korea every day.
Heh, the North Korean press has had a fair amount to say recently:

“No matter how desperately Trump may try to defame the dignified and just system in the DPRK with the worst invectives, he cannot deodorize the nasty smell from his dirty body woven with fraud, sexual abuse and all other crimes, nor keep the U.S. from rushing to the final destruction,” the paper said.
I didn’t realize that the North Korean press wrote in poetry. Because that’s epic, right there.
