Why Trumpenol

Why I created Trumpenol

 

I love my dad. He’s a remarkable person and a wonderful father. That's probably why it’s so upsetting to me that he’s essentially an original Never-Trumper. I’ve never known anyone who’s despised Trump as long as he has. Since I was a kid, I’d regularly hear him go off about how terrible Donald Trump was. To be fair, it’s probably better than all those people who loved Trump until he became president and suddenly started calling him Hitler—but still, it’s been a bit much at times.

When Trump became president, my dad kind of lost it. Family events, which used to be fun and carefree, turned into tense political battlegrounds. At the height of it all, even the most innocent gatherings turned into screaming matches. And then Trump lost in 2020. I thought—finally, maybe my dad would calm down. Nope. He went into full-on “Trump Derangement Syndrome” overdrive. It got to the point where he wasn’t just arguing with Republicans; he was arguing with Democrats who didn’t hate Trump enough.

I knew something had to give.

Enter Ashwagandha.

I’d been hearing a lot about this herbal supplement lately. Apparently, it was all the rage for reducing cortisol levels, which in turn lowers stress. It seemed too good to be true, but I figured it couldn’t hurt to try it. So, I picked up a bottle, handed it to my dad, and asked him to take it before family events. He agreed, which, to be honest, I didn’t expect. But when Thanksgiving rolled around, something amazing happened: there was no fighting. NONE. It was the first time in my entire life that we had a peaceful, drama-free family gathering. Ashwagandha worked!

Inspired by the success (and the fact that I might be able help those in need), I decided to have a little fun. I trademarked the name Trumpenol and created the most accurate label I could come up with to describe the insanity of the left. I mean, who wouldn’t want a product that promises to “calm political hysteria” in a single dose?

Now, I’m not claiming that Trumpenol will solve all the world’s problems. But if it can make my dad calm down enough to enjoy a Thanksgiving dinner without having to mediate a political debate, I’d say it’s a win. If you’re stuck in a similar situation—where family gatherings feel more like a political battlefield than a place for good food and conversation—maybe a little Trumpenol (or Ashwagandha) could be just what you need.

At the very least, you’ll get some good laughs. And who knows? Maybe it’ll help you save your next holiday.
