Trump's Campaign Manager Roasted for Referring to Trump 2020 as the 'Death Star' and Now He's Trying to Explain It

Trump's Campaign Manager Roasted for Referring to Trump 2020 as the 'Death Star' and Now He's Trying to Explain It

The national health crisis has rightly taken precedence over coverage of the 2020 general election, which is a mere six months away.

While Trump may be preoccupied with tweeting about the virus that's killed over 70 thousand Americans, his reelection campaign manager Brad Parscale promised that the Trump 2020 campaign was about to issue a crippling blow to Democrats hoping to make Trump a one term President.


It didn't go well.

Brad named the upcoming plans after the Death Star—the enormous planet destroying ship from Star Wars—in a recent tweet.

You don't have to be a Star Wars fan to know that one of the franchise's most memorable moments comes when the Death Star's only vulnerability is exploited, resulting in its explosive destruction.

When people reminded Brad of that, he quickly reverted to an old Trump tactic: It was the media's fault!


The first recorded usage of the "Death Star" in relation to the Trump campaign came from an unnamed Republican strategist working for Trump's reelection who spoke to The Atlantic. For all we know, it was Parscale himself, who seems to like the nickname if his tweet was any judgment.

Parscale's laughable defenses only made people roast him more.




Then again, maybe the nickname "Death Star" is fitting, given the circumstances.



Laughable as he may be, Trump's reelection chances are no laughing matter. Are you registered to vote?

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
