Former President Donald Trump is now at the “go to any lengths necessary” stage of his public career to get attention. To wit? He just posted a satirical version of Paul Harvey’s famous “So God Made a Farmer” video in which HE is the subject.

And yes, it’s just as creepy and a messianic bit of messaging that will cause many to cringe but others to fall to their knees in supplication.

The former president shared the video on his Truth Social account and was included in a slew of “joking but not joking” and over-the-top political videos for which Trump is known.

    In the context of the original it’s even worse.

    The original is a celebration and recognition of the difficulties of blue collar labor with long hours doing physical labor and of depending on the uncertainties of nature for one’s livelihood.

    All things Trump would know nothing about, having been born with a silver spoon and having the physique of not a single day of physical labor in his life.

    So fucking gross. How the hell do people buy this bullshit?!?
