Though a Democrat, I play the devil's advocate

Though a Democrat, I play the devil's advocate... after reading the article (published in the July + August 2024 issue of Mother Jones) titled Raging bull - Donald Trump's pugilistic spokesman has taken campaigning to a whole new level of low. Beyond the lookout for Huyen "Steven" Cheung (born June 23, 1982) an American political advisor Donald Trump's campaign spokesman in the 2023–24 Republican primary and served in the Donald J. Trump administration. He previously worked in Trump's 2016 and 2020 campaigns. Brilliant gifted package of brains and brawn, his crude quips against opponents, (which includes politicians of all stripes), cut down and figuratively quartered reduced courtesy raw bits of biting riposte forced into thralldom, cuz Trump world adversaries sacrificial fodder roasted alive all stops pulled out except blood relatives, where merciless cutthroat antagonism drawn sycophants molded like putty in the hands of Voodoo magic spellcaster henchman disabling staunch radical transgressors think how frozen blinded deer fawn, videre licet buckle under headlights glare immobilized lifeless body courtesy invisible hawn fricasséeing, mincing, skewering, and frankly zapping unwitting victim par for the coarse faux jambon, or sprinkled as rich nutrient upon manicured lawn housing consecrated ashes disintegrated lovely bones of Memnon stands proud as genetic product of Nippon. Upon first immediate glance his seventy two plus inches presents overshadowing, looming, and hulking mound of flesh capped with large oblong head, his likeness surpasses, supersedes, and summons idealistic awesomeness of (Jean Jacques Rousseau) noble savage beastie boy incarnate, nevertheless he only poses a menace to any and all who cross his path.
