Apparently, you can call Trump a racist, an insurrectionist or a rapist. But don’t you EVER say his design aesthetic is “Cheesecake Factory.” That’s going too far.

You know you’ve elected a historically-awful president when your phone autocorrects “racist” to “rapist” and both are 100% accurate.

GOP strategist: People think you're out of touch witheveryday Americans. Trump: Got it. I'll say I don't give a damn about people suffering over gas prices. GOP strategist: Not sure that's the approach. Trump: Then I'll brag about how rich oil companies are. GOP strategist: (incoherent sigh)

We've always known that Trump doesn't give a lick about the economic anxiety or suffering of everyday Americans. But now the dude is so unhinged, he's actually saying it out loud.

When you were younger, could you have ever imagined the sitting President of the United States repeatedly weighing in on the side of child rapists?

GOP strategist: “Between Iran, inflation, ICE, gas prices and Epstein, I don’t know if the Republican brand can get any lower? Trump: “What if, for no reason, I aggressively defend a woman who sided with her daughter’s rapist?” GOP strategist: “Yeah, that might do it.”

At 12, Amy Acton was raped by her stepfather. Now, Trump, Vance, and Ramaswamy are attacking her. Because, at 12, she was raped by her stepfather.

Vivek’s campaign narrative is based on the credibility of a woman who stayed married to the man that a jury determined had raped her 12 year-old daughter.

Remember, Amy Acton didn’t make this an issue. It was Vivek and Vance and Trump and the mother who stayed married to her daughter’s rapist.

GOP strategist: We need to change the subject from inflation, gas prices, and an unwinnable war. Trump: Got it. I’ll start trashing child rape victims and touting sexually-abusive stepfathers. GOP strategist: Maybe we’ll stick with the war

I don’t have the statistics in front of me, but in the history of history, has Donald Trump ever not instantly, reflexively sided with an accused sex abuser over the accuser? Even once?

Far be it from me to give advice to MAGA, but is the GOP sure they want to make the midterms a referendum on siding with rapist stepfathers over child sex abuse victims?

It would be bad enough for JD Vance to just say nothing. But it takes some kind of evil to unilaterally come out IN SUPPORT of Ramaswamy's "I believe the rapist over the child victim" commercials. No wonder this party won't release the Epstein Files.

People wanting to understand what MAGA stood for could do no worse than knowing that, in 2026, Vivek Ramaswamy ran commercials basically siding with Amy Acton's rapist against a victim of child sexual abuse.
