The True Story Behind the Dumpster-Fire GIF That Perfectly Sums Up This Election
We are a little less than three weeks away from the election and by now there is very little that hasn’t been said or blogged or tweeted or sky-written about Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. At this point, the election cycle is better summed up with a GIF. A very particular GIF, which you’ve probably seen at least once in the past few months online: the dumpster fire.
Mother Jones hailed the dumpster fire as the “meme of 2016.” New York Magazine’s Jonathan Chait has published several columns detailing the most recent dumpster-fire-isms of the Trump campaign. Slate went so far as to say that comparing Trump to a dumpster fire was an insult to the latter, since “fires get the job done.” Google Trends charts a significant increase in searches for the term over the last six months. (Oddly, the searches are almost entirely in the United States. Can’t imagine why.) And now, Entrepreneur’s Jason Feifer has tracked down the origin story of the flaming blue dumpster that has become the glowing symbol of our democratic system.
