This disaster came about through the machinations of one Alex Bruesewitz, a Vance staffer, who had been instrumental in Vance's spreading the pet-eating lie about Springfield's Hatian residents.
One staffer in particulara young activist named Alex Bruesewitzhelped convince Vance and his team that this was an opportunity to put his stamp on the campaign. Vance agreed. Reports now show that people have had their pets abducted and eaten by people who shouldnt be in this country, the senator posted on X, catching the Trump campaigns leaders entirely off guard. Figuring there was no use in half measures, Bruesewitz led Vances minions in blasting the social-media post around their networks and urging officials on other GOP campaigns, as well as at the Republican National Committee, to join Vances assault on the migrant community of Springfield.
Bruesewitz then managed to worm his way into the inner circles of the Trump campaign.
Technically a mid-level stafferformally a liaison to right-wing media, informally a terminally online troll and perpetual devil on the campaigns shoulderBruesewitz had grown his profile inside Trumps orbit. The candidates appearances on various bro-themed podcasts were hailed as acts of strategic genius. But there was one guest booking Bruesewitz couldnt secure: He wanted Trump to talk with Hinchcliffe on his show, Kill Tony. When word got around that Trump was looking for opening acts at the Garden, Bruesewitz made the introductions. Trumps head of planning and production, Justin Caporale, ran with the idea. No senior staff ever bothered to vet Hinchcliffe themselves.

He'll be using props: a broom, a shovel, a wheel-barrow and a littered parking lot.

How can you NOT vet your comedian? This was supposed to be Trump's HUGE closing message.

He really has a shitty staff - no wonder they don't want any part of his potential administration.

Trump surrounded himself with yes men that couldn't manage their way out of a wet paper bag.
Typical for a bullshit artist
