Charles Pierce on Sarcasm: For His Next Trick, Donald Trump Is Going to Swallow His Own Head
Are we being sarcastic?
Just for information's sake, as any middle-school teacher knows from long experience, this is an example of sarcasm:
"Yeah, sure, like we're going to hand the nuclear codes to a vulgar talking yam who stiffs his subcontractors and doesn't know enough about any major issue to throw to a cat. Yeah, we're gonna do that. Surrrrre."
Sarcasm.
Accusing the president of "founding" a barbaric terrorist group and then insisting you were serious?
Not sarcasm.
