Oh no — Pookie’s not eating! We need to take him to the vet. Friends and readers, if your pet was not eating, that is exactly what you’d do, right? You’d perhaps call the vet and make an appointment so that the doctor could take a good long look at Pookie and make sure he was OK. That’s what one does for their dog. Donald Trump is not a dog. He’s a human being — an orange, pathetic, creepy, sociopathic, disgusting, evil human but a human nonetheless.

According to Liz Cheney, in an excerpt from her new book, after the 2020 presidential election, Donald John Trump stopped eating. “They’re really worried,” Dog owner Kevin McCarthy reportedly told Liz Cheney, saying that is why he flew to Florida to see Donald Trump. “Trump’s not eating, so they asked me to see him.”

And Kevin did see him where he perhaps convinced the old dog to snap out of it and order some chicken nuggets – or perhaps just a cheeseburger. Cheney’s book, “Oath and Honor,” undoubtedly contains other interesting nuggets. But let’s look at this one because I am skeptical.

I’m not skeptical that Cheney is telling the truth. I’m unsure that Kevin McCarthy was. Kevin is at the top of the list when it comes to liars so who knows whether the story he told Liz was the truth or not?

However, even if it WAS, it certainly isn’t the House Speaker’s job to get Donald Trump to eat. Kevin’s not Trump’s parent, although he sometimes acts like he is. “You went to Mar-a-Lago because Trump’s not eating?” A stunned Cheney reportedly asked Kevin.

I doubt Trump was not eating, readers. I am sure McDonald’s received a few orders from Mar-a-lago. What I do not doubt is that Kevin said this to Liz. After all — what else could he say to her?

“I’m going down to Mara-Lago because I am a coward. I need Trump in my life to shower me with compliments and to make sure I get the House Speaker job, so yeah, I decided to sell out the American people, including the Capitol police, because I’m Kevin McCarthy, and selling people out is what I do best.”

I think THAT is more likely to be the truth than the story that Donald Trump was turning away all food and drink. Cheney also says other Republicans took to mocking Kevin for his feverish loyalty to Trump. This I DO believe because that shows how little Republicans think of McCarthy. “You..complete..me”

According to Cheney, some Republicans wrote those words, which were originally spoken in the film “Jerry McGuire” on a picture of Kevin and Trump together. It is incredible to me that McCarthy is no longer the Speaker, and he’s STILL managing to get some laughs — only the laughing is AT him, not with him.
