Rumored From the Centers for Disease Control (CDC): The Tika Virus on the March From Florida

[additional-authors]
August 3, 2016

According to a recent poll (which may be in the process of being rendered out-of-date), Donald Trump still leads Hillary Clinton in Florida 43.7 to 43.5 percent.

Also, the CDC has confirmed that the Zika virus is spreading by leaps-and-bounds from Miami.

This later alarming factoid may seem to have nothing to do with Despicable Donald, but—as previously reported here—in Trumpworld everything is related. While Zika is in actuality spreading North from Miami, another virus strain—Tika—is rumored to be spreading in all four directions of the compass from the northern Florida Panhandle: Trump Country.

Tika’s symptoms are a loss of all semblance of political decency and rationality on the part of the candidate, his staff, his entourage, wignuts, true believers, and just plain followers among the folks. Whereas pregnant women are being urged to steer clear of Miami because of the threat of Zika, the case is different in the Panhandle where the hope—not the fear—among many is that Tika will render while male Trumpites sterile so that future generations of them may not replicate and overwhelm-from-within Trump’s Border Wall this country—“the last best hope of mankind.”

If The Drudge Report and Alex Jones’ Info Wars were more fair-and-balanced, they would be disseminating eyewitness sightings that black helicopters bearing the letter “T” have been spraying with—rather than against—T virus infection-carrying mosquitos large swathes of Trump-targeted states, from New Jersey to Wisconsin. Confirmed is that the Trump campaign apparently is conspiring to eradicate House Speaker Paul Ryan in next week’s GOP Wisconsin House primary.

The Trump Campaign is said to be preparing a press release, for distribution on Vlad Putin’s Russia Today English-language news outlet, that the “T” on the mosquito-spewing black helicopters stands for Terminix. Not to worry.

According to tonight’s Washington Post, Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort has pretty much given up on The Donald, choosing just “to mail in” his campus advice, while other staffers are “suicidal.” Well: “like candidate, like staffers.”

Not reported in the Washington Post: Manafort, whose decency is universally discounted but self-interested sanity has never been doubted, is already ready to jump to his new political gig: managing Putin’s next bid in Russia’s perennially rigged presidential election. Like Trump, corrupt reputed billionaire Putin will self-finance, except that he can really afford it.
