Will Trump ever drain the Sinkhole?
[ by Charles Cameron — if hell exists — and we’re easily persuaded it does — best believe in paradise, too ]

Bryan Alexander of Infocult headed his report, Earth opens campaign against Trump. Bryan has been following sinkholes around the globe for some time now, and has also been keeping a wary eye on Donald Trump, so the correlation wouldn’t surprise him, and he leaped to causation, with or without good reason.
Let’s take a look, first, at the hole itself:
It’s black, as though part of the world had been redacted for security reasons.
Sinkoles are not uncommon in Florida, and frequently feast on human habitations:
The City of Palm Beech is calm and carries on:

It takes the Washington Post to put the event in truly cross-disiplinary perspective, titling its article on the topic brilliantly:

Indeed they did. Oliver Willis had the best reading of the Sign:

And FWIW, tthe orb’s direct impact on the pavement in Palm Beach is confirmed by Chad Fondiller:

Some, like Conchita Leeflang, read the Sign more mundanely in terms of Trump‘s own rhetoric:
@owillis @Trumpnado2016 The Swamp is draining.

That’s clever, but it doesn’t really explain this photo of the sinkhole alt-event now, does it?
