“Trump, what is a Trump. A vast ungainly hog who has scalped a lion somehow. And staggers around in it. The rotting mane and pelt. Day after day, and year after year, eyes clenched, chin jutting, squealing and snorting and wheezing, daring you to say it, to tell him what he is.

You’re not a lion. You’re a dumb bad pig. A mentally ill pig, and no one likes you, you’re the worst, the worst one ever.

He was such a bad dumb little shit pig wasn’t he.”
Mark Doten, Trump Sky Alpha

“No one really knows what words mean these days.”
Mark Doten, The Infernal

“So I guess the world is actually ending now!' tweeted a former Gawker editor, and the tone there is instructive: atavistic, a return to the site's early editorial voice, at once wide-eyed and over it, giddy and etherized, a jaded and pitiless amazement, the flat relentless tone that had seeped into the water of the internet, and if the internet had moved on since then, if that is no longer quite the voice of things, on this day it is having a renaissance.”
Mark Doten, Trump Sky Alpha
