Everyone’s Favorite Trump Impersonator Is Having Some Fun While Wearing… A Sombrero
Conservatives are laughing our way through the Schumer Siesta.
First, Trump shared the Jeffries sombrero meme that set the news cycle on fire. Now? He’s retweeting his own impersonator doubling down on what’s being called the ‘Schumer Siesta’. And then the trolling got even better.
When it became official that Dems really were going to shut down the government, and with Jeffries freaking out about the sombrero meme that Trump reposted, America’s premiere Trump impersonator knew exactly how to maximize the humor and trolling value of this moment.
You can tell Shawn Farash struck gold by the fact that the man he was impersonating helped amplify his bit.
Here he is talking about the Schumer Siesta.

If Jeffe doesn’t like the ‘sombrero treatment’, he’s REALLY going to hate the video that’s serving as Trump’s pinned tweet as I write this… it’s another AI shot. This time he’s throwing a MAGA hat (or maybe one of the Trump 2028 hats?) like it’s ring toss and having it land on the shiny dome of ‘Peso Store Obama’.

If these lighthearted memes are sending Dems into paroxysms, they’d best not look too closely at Trump’s TruthSocial account, where he’s hitting hard with a more cowbell and a ‘Don’t fear the reaper’ meme.
Who fears the reaper! 🎶 Trump posted this!!!!

We’ll let CBS explain why this is a big deal, mostly because we think it’s funny to see them forced to take Trump’s humor seriously when they work so hard to silence, diminish, or distort what he says in plain language.
President Trump posted a series of videos and memes on Truth Social seemingly aimed at trolling congressional Democrats, including one that called Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought — whose office is weighing federal funding cuts and layoffs — “the reaper.”
“Russ Vought is the reaper / he wields the pen, the funds and the brain,” an unnamed person sings in the video, to the tune of Blue Öyster Cult’s “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper.”
The animated video depicts Vought as a scythe-wielding Grim Reaper, with Vice President JD Vance on the drums and a hooded Mr. Trump playing a cowbell. It calls Democrats “babies” and mocks lawmakers like House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
Steve Schenck, manager for Blue Öyster Cult, told CBS News in a statement that the band had not been contacted about the use of its music in the video. He didn’t offer any further reaction.
Mr. Trump also shared a social media post that said: “All eyes are on Russ Vought today.” — CBS
When Dems chose NOT to do their job and keep the government open (a tactic they used in 2018 to kill legislation that would have funded the border wall, stalling until the next session of Congress when Pelosi took the gavel, and we see how that worked out), they forfeited the use of their only real leverage over the Executive branch: their legislation/funding powers.
The deep irony is, until the government shut down kicked in, Trump had no machanism by which to justify the tearing out of subversive groups within the Executive Branch who take it upon theimselves to defy the directive of the one man singled out by the Constitution to embody the powers the deep state presumes to exercise. Love it or hate it, The executive branch is invested in one person chosen every 4th November by the entire voting population.
But now that Dems shut down the goverment?
Welcome to the ‘find out’ phase, kids.
Second term Trump has some scores to settle with the deep state from his first term, and he’s been daring you to press your luck.
