For his 80th birthday, so-called “President” Donald Trump will likely be getting plenty of people wishing him well, but he’s also facing a torrent of anger as well-deserved barbs are aimed at him.
The Guardian asked some well-known celebrities for their thoughts on the Donald’s 80th, and here’s a sampling of what they had to say:
Climate Activist Greta Thunberg: “My initial thought was to give you a one-way ticket to The Hague as a birthday gift, but that comment would probably go above your head. I will instead give you a can of alphabet soup; the sentences you poop out will be more coherent than anything you have ever said. Now you can finally take part in meaningful public discourse.”
American novelist Siri Hustvedt: “Dear Number 47. You’re ageing fast, Mr President, plagued by bruising, memory holes, verbal incoherence and unwelcome fits of sleep. Although plain to many of us who did not vote for you, your age and inevitable death have been invisible in the Magaverse.”
Anthony Scaramucci: “I found this birthday message for you outside Trump Tower: ‘You sold me your soul. You got what you wanted. The tower. The power. The money. The name in gold. But you left a trail behind you, and it leads to the ninth circle. Goethe said any soul, while still living, can be saved. Will yours? Happy Birthday – Mephistopheles.'”
Mick Lynch, former general secretary of the National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers: “Dear Donald Potus on your birthday. Hair is wispy; Skin’s gone crispy. Now you’re 80; Don’t be so hatey.”
