The Trump Apocalypse Watch is a subjective daily estimate, using a scale of one to four horsemen, of how likely it is that Donald Trump will be elected president, thus triggering an apocalypse in which we all die.
Donald Trump gave a speech today in front of an actual pile of garbage at a recycling center. (The subject of the speech was free trade; at this point it remains to be seen how Trump’s remarks went over with pundits and voters.) Meanwhile, the Washington Post published the results of an investigation into Trump’s charitable giving. The Post contacted 167 charitable organizations with links to Trump and could only find evidence of one donation given personally by the Republican nominee in the past seven years. One! It’s truly unbelievable. And the Post’s huge investigation likely wasn’t even the most damaging Trump story of its news cycle! At this point, there is just so much Donald Trump garbage in the world that no one recycling center or voter could possibly process all of it.
