Expert Troll Donald Trump Has Tongues Wagging All Over the Place

Heartlanders had a laugh this week at the woefully uneducated city folks who have no idea where their food comes from. It was evident in several different social media threads and café chit-chat, which crossed the line of Midwest Nice into mocking territory. New data – if you can call it that – shows Gen Z folks are not 100% on board with Donald Trump, and Canadian media types are trying to get the collective goat of red-blooded Americans by talking smack about 9/11. And really, after all the name changes committed by the left, does it matter about a Great Lake getting an update?

Trump Trolling Gen Z

Does Gen Z have their knickers in a knot over Donald Trump? Apparently not as much as the digital squawking would have you believe. Despite the shrill protests echoing across TikTok and Twitter (sorry, X), recent surveys suggest about 70% of Gen Z respondents actually give a thumbs-up to Trump's vision for America. Shocking, right? It turns out the so-called “woke” generation isn't just doomscrolling social justice threads and sipping oat milk lattes – they might actually like lower gas prices and fewer TikTok bans.

The pearl-clutching news comes from a report by the public opinion research firm Navigator. They proudly report that 31% of Generation Z said they regret voting for President Donald Trump in the 2024 election. So, if the math is correct, 69% still love the Donald.

For reference, Gen Z people are anywhere in age from 14–29, and that takes a big chunk out of how this survey was skewed. But heartlanders had some fun at the expense of the mollycoddled ones.

Randall Buck in Rockville, IL, picked up on the age range debate: “New Data shows that this Gen Z Data is hilariously fictitious.”

Lee Corbett in Louisiana made the trolls lose their ever-loving minds by commenting: “I have voted for him three times and will do it a fourth if given a chance.” So, next time you hear someone say, “kids these days,” remember some of them are making America great again by being unable to cast a vote quite yet.

What Is Wrong With This Place?

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) has instructed its journalists to pussyfoot around the stark, bloody, and grisly reality of September 11, 2001. If you are lucky enough to be off the memorandum list, it said – without any wiggle room – not to describe the attacks on America committed by the terrorist organization Al Qaeda as “terrorist attacks.”

In Houston, Eric Masterson hit the search button to find: “I had to look this up. They did reverse the decision after public backlash.”

The memo in the crosshairs arrived early last week. Rather than calling the attack that ended nearly 3,000 lives a terrorist attack, they are to refer to it as “the hijackings [that] led to passenger jet crashes in Washington, DC, Pennsylvania, and Manhattan.” Thank you to the Toronto Sun for tattling loudly.

In Conway, SC, Kathleen Donnelly was not pleased: “What a slap in the face to all who lost their lives that day.”

Marshall Miller, a Texan, showed a bit of sarcasm: “Thats [sic] why it’s no longer Lake Ontario.”

Trump Trolls Government Overlord Sissies

The price of steak in NYC, LA, and some random towns in Maine not feasting on Graham Platner’s farm-fresh oysters had Donald Trump overstepping a bit while he was looking for “the beef”:

"Ranchers and Farmers have always been a number one priority for me. They work very hard, are smart, efficient, and immaculately CLEAN, but for years I have heard that they have had a tremendous problem with the Big Processors, who many say are a nasty Monopoly. There are, essentially, 4 of them, a very noncompetitive number, and they make life miserable for our wonderful Farmers and Ranchers, and I can’t let that happen, can I?”

Well, should we tell him? He is trying hard.

Dear Mr. President: Leaving states alone to raise and sell beef and other tasty proteins keeps your MAGA base of folks happy. Middle America is replete with large and small cattle operations and more than a handful (wink wink) of local processors uninhibited by the USDA. We know what our food is, and what is fed to said food. It’s part of the Midwestern charm.

Cornhusker Kevin Campbell, in the thick of it in Nebraska, peered about for the feds and then blurted: “Farmers have been doing this for years. The problem is the small butcher shops can't compete with these huge facilities. They don't have the space, manpower etc. But yes, support your local farmer/Rancher and buy from your local butcher.” There was a chorus of amens and one “really?”

In Missouri, Thomas Singleton got the Trump memo and came to the meatloaf fight with a Tomahawk steak: “Two of the top four have foreign ownership. Two are owned stateside here in the USA, Cargill, Tyson. Both are American owned.”

And what happened to climate change? Peter Cohn, in Leeds, AL, kind of went there: “Man bring back the old days when cow flatulence and cow burps were a thing.”

Lake America

Well, here we are: a nation that clutches its pearls whenever Donald Trump decides to change the names of places. And he seems to like bodies of water – both Gulf of America and Lake America are set in stone for approximately two years. The Democrats, progressives, and socialists have their memes and are dangerously angst-ridden, but perhaps we can list a few that America has endured for the last 20 years or so:

Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben, Mrs. Butterworth's, and Land O'Lakes were all changed to avoid stereotypes – by removing the minority from the picture or name entirely, of course. Then the major streaming platforms selectively removed or added historical context disclaimers to specific episodes of older television series containing racially insensitive tropes or blackface caricatures. This country has a brutal and oftentimes sad past, but it has fought hard for equality. The aforementioned product changes simply erased the contributions each of these real-life characters achieved.

Lake America: Deal with it.
