To absolutely no one’s surprise, Tr*mp’s Freedom250 4th of July celebration was a complete, faceplanting disaster on every front. There was Tr*mp’s open snoozing on camera during the fireworks (nothing new) a cadre of literal white supremacists marching through the National Mall, and a speech that promised the passage of unconstitutional measures that were already defeated by the Supreme Court last week.
But Tr*mp’s biggest op, for once, wasn’t himself: it was the weather.
Extreme heat, torrential showers, and an eventual shelter order rained on Tr*mp’s parade in a fashion that can only be described as Biblical. While hail rained down on Mount Rushmore and the air in Washington was declared unhealthy by experts, Tr*mp prepared for his speech despite the elements. His dwindling fan base sat down on 160 degree plastic chairs, only to be evacuated after a thunderstorm warning.

While these MAGA clowns tried their best to blame the weather on TDS and the liberal agenda, it forced them to do the funniest thing of all: take shelter in the National Museum of African American History and Culture. At the epicenter of everything Tr*mp and his supporters are trying to erase, crowds of pissed off, exhausted attendees gathered to wait out the rain, creating visuals New York Times writer Jamelle Bouie described as being almost “too on the nose.”
This perfect storm caused Tr*mp’s speech to happen four hours behind schedule.
Of course, this isn’t the first time Mother Nature has expressed her opinion of the president. You’ll remember that last month, ahead of the UFC match, the plague-like weather, including bug infestations and rain, was similarly volatile, leading to a near-cancellation of the event. Tr*mp tried to blame liberals for that spell of inclement weather as well, and while it’s pretty ridiculous to claim that anyone can “geoengineer” the weather to make someone look bad, we can’t blame him for looking for causality in all the wrong places. The “climate change isn’t real” president might have finally written a check his a** can’t cash, in the form of his longstanding beef with the weather. How else do you explain the cheeky rainbow that appeared over the Kennedy Center the instant Tr*mp’s name was removed? Or the “freezing “dangerous” temperature drop during his inauguration?
The explanation is actually pretty obvious. Despite the fact that Tr*mp and his team officially declared global warning a “hoax” earlier this year, it’s a very real phenomenon, and its impact continues to make Tr*mp look like a fool in front of his cult following. Currently, the European “heat dome” has taken around 1,300 lives. The body count of the two earthquakes in Venezuela is inching toward the 2,000 mark. The 4th of July heat wave in this country caused at least 25 deaths. We’re experiencing the kind of heat our ancestors only dreamed about, and as scientists have been warning us for decades, it’s only going to get worse.
But there’s one undeniable upside: the more Tr*mp denies climate change and refuses to fight back against it, the more embarrassing it’s going to be for him as each future showboating endeavor is overtaken by similar plagues of weather trolling excellence.
