The Atlantic is on it: "... pantomime the act of giving fellatio..." [View all]
Trump Needs Help
Last night he simulated oral sex in public.

I do not know how to put this gently or tastefully, so I will factually describe what happened last night in Milwaukee: A former president of the United States held a rally, during which he used a microphone holder on his podium to pantomime the act of giving fellatio.
I could have put it differently. I might have said that a cognitively impaired man, who has long been showing signs of serious emotional instability and has a history of sexism and racism, engaged in crude behavior in front of a large audience. But that wouldnt capture an important reality:
This deeply impaired man is tied in the race to become the next president and could be holding the codes to the U.S. nuclear arsenal in less than three months.
I dont know if this bizarre display will move votes away from Donald Trump. Nothing seems to dent the loyalty of his base. Trump voters are resolute in their determination to minimize his ghastly antics, or even to scrub them from their minds. (As one commenter said on social media today, Trumps new mantra might be: I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and blow somebody, and I wouldnt lose any voters, OK?)
