Entertainment satire US politics
A comedian’s too-close-for-comfort satirical explanation of US gun rules brilliantly highlights the Trump regime’s hypocrisy
The situation in the US is truly bleak, with government agents firing on citizens simply for trying to hold them to account.
There have been three shootings in Minnesota in the past three weeks alone, two of them – Renee Good and Alex Pretti – with fatal consequences.
In both cases, official sources tried to smear the good character of the victims. This resulted in the most concerted pushback since Trump regained office and a partial government climb-down.
One factor which has confused a lot of people is the regime’s attempt to pin the blame for his own shooting on Alex Pretti, due to him having a holstered and licensed gun. Despite having to give up the lie that the ICU nurse tried to shoot officers, Trump, Kristi Noem and others have claimed Alex Pretti had bad intent because he carried a gun.
However, that’s not how their beloved Second Amendment paints it.
In the aftermath of the Minnesota shootings, many Americans have come to the same uneasy conclusion that we scientists reached long ago: you cannot believe anything this government says.

Comedian Dave Columbo saw how confused people were by this irony, and he tried to put the Government’s position, in character as a White House spokesperson.

That sums up their position perfectly, with all its contradictions. TikTok users flocked to share their approval.

When skits on MAGA are so close to reality, no one can tell the difference.
