Donald Trump, the former president and self-proclaimed ‘America First’ apostle, has called on his supporters in Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District to embark on a heroic mission. Matt Van Epps, the ‘phenomenal Candidate’ and ‘MAGA Warrior’ praised by Trump, is set to take the reins in Washington. The words ‘GET OUT AND VOTE’ sound almost like a battle cry from a bygone era.
But what makes Van Epps so special? According to Trump, he has the ‘Complete and Total Endorsement’—a seal that apparently holds more weight in MAGA circles than a PhD in political science. Whether Van Epps’ platform extends beyond the promise ‘HE WILL BE A GREAT CONGRESSMAN’ remains unclear. Maybe he’s planning to turn Congress into a reality show.
The irony here: While Trump mobilizes his supporters to vote ‘America First,’ one wonders if Van Epps even knows where Tennessee is on the map. But hey, in the age of post-truth politics, it’s the message that counts, not the facts. And the message is: Trump wants to win, no matter the cost.
