I am reminded of the role of self-deflation in Irish humor and Irish life in general by Trump's typical debasing of another holiday, Trump being an inflationary gas bag of futile ego enhancement and self-serving aggrandizement taken to a place of mania. EVERYTHING is always about Trump, to Trump. It's impossible to imagine someone more self-centered and still able to function outside of an asylum. He has his money bubble.
There is currently no holiday honoring swine, celebrating selfishness enshrined as perfection and holiness. Trump Day would be appropriate and maybe useful, helping vent those antisocial, pathological urges and enabling us to live otherwise less like hopeless monsters of greed, persecutors of innocent citizens delusionally perceived as competitors, and destroyers of the world around us through compulsive consumption.
