Triumph of the Swill
Fridayโs event was my first Trump rally in a sporting arena, which, I soon learned, is where he makes the most sense. The scene outside Milwaukeeโs Fiserv Forum set the tone for the eveningโs entertainment; while Democrats may dispute Trumpโs claims to have created some 7 million jobs as president, nobody can deny that heโs now providing employment for the dozen or so merchants who trail his events selling bootleg merchandise, including some of the only Black men to be found outside the average Trump rally. The latest designs include: โSupport Diversityโ alongside a row of different sized bullets; a heavily-armed Smoky Bear saying โOnly You Can Prevent Socialismโ; Trump clutching cats alongside the message โMake Pets Safe Againโ in reference to the campaignโs anti-Haitian blood libel; an austere looking Trump standing with open arms outside the White House beneath the bolded pink announcement โDaddyโs Homeโ; a heavily stylized Western illustration of Trump and Vance in cowboy hats labeled โThe Outlaw and the Hillbillyโ; and a rendition of Kamala Harrisโs face with a line through it, as part of the message โSay No to the Hoe.โ There are also the ubiquitous Trump hats, which more attendees than not showed up already wearing, creating a striking visual effect thatโs also a bit disconcerting, especially when viewed from the center of it.
Iowa Bluffs
This piece was originally published on October 4, 2023 and is one of a series of Trump-related articles we're republishing.
Crossing the Mississippi River from Illinois into Iowa by car is an almost effortless glide, eliding entirely the forceful pull of the Great River and the centuries of violence greater still that harnessed its bucking current into an engine of commerce unsuitable for fishing, swimming, or drinking. Itโs difficult to imagine that this momentary glimpse of blue in my peripheral vision was once the artery from which fortunes gushed or trickled, the playground where the nineteenth centuryโs Saint Hucks found death and adventure, and the vanishing horizon for the freedom of enslaved people sent ever-southward as the human traffic on which this nationโs wealth was built drew the entire southern social order into its own death spiral.

Middle Class War: A Visit to Staten Island’s Autonomous Zone
This piece was originally published on December 20, 2020 and is one of a series of Trump-related articles we're republishing.
Transmission rates are on the rise again in New York City. Hospital beds are filling, the temperature is dropping, and most have accepted a renewed lockdown to be a foregone conclusion.
But the talk of the town has been a humble pub on Staten Islandโs East Shore pushing against the trend. As the transmission rate in the vicinity pushed it into the โorange zone,โ Macโs Public House declared last month it would not abide by a state-mandated closure but instead stay open with a โsuggested donationโ model intended to skirt business regulations.
“The Last Stand of Freedom in America”
This piece was originally published on December 9, 2020 and is one of a series of Trump-related articles we're republishing.
โHow many of you have an easy life?โ the speaker asked the audience. To his dismay a handful of people raised their hands. โWell, okay, I guess some of you have it good, but many of you clearly donโt.โ His voice could be barely heard and the audience shouted at him to speak into the microphone. They were gathered to express their defiance at the voter fraud that cost Donald Trump the 2020 election.
