The Trump camp recently made a startling claim for
their candidate: namely, that he
is immortal.
Liberals have frantically attempted to counter
that claim, but without success.
All they can evince in contradiction is this famous syllogism, credited to Aristotle:
All men are mortal.
Trump is a man.
Therefore Trump is
mortal.
The fallacy comes in step 2. The flamboyant billionaire is not a man, but a moron. Hence the
purported proof does not go
through. And thus, by
contraposition (pataphysical duality), his immortality stands as proved.
In conjunction with their
remarkable revelation, the Trumpsters have put forward a central demand as regards the institution of the
Presidency itself:
*
An end to term limits.
We have a hunch where this is
going.
[Update 21 March 2016] This just in -- The Trump camp is floating a new slogan:
"Term limits are for losers."
