So, for months I’ve been observing, thinking and writing about our new president. He’s the biggest and really, the only story there is. He bestrides the modern world like a colossus. Every day he confronts his enemies and whenever they attack him he hits back with remarkable instinct. When the press uses their megaphone to establish a lie he turns it back on them in a tweet that catches them flat-footed. The man is a one-man media machine that makes the news and covers it all at once.
Whether he will conquer the forces arrayed against him or be defeated is perhaps the single most important question in America since the outcome of the Civil War. That sounds like an insane thesis but I think it’s completely true. The direction of American life has been deflected by Marxism since the 1930s. Every institution and group has been attacked from without and infiltrated from within to such an extent that America has become almost unrecognizable. It has finally reached a state where only a few small steps will make reversing the trend virtually impossible. But along comes this crazy man. He seems like a clown and a lout. He brags and struts and rains insults down on the most important politicians and bureaucrats like he and they were fifth graders in a digital school yard. And it seems impossible because the American Public has never put up with this sort of behavior (from a republican anyway). But they do! In fact, the more outrageous the behavior, the more popular he becomes. And the story progressed and what everybody realized (even if some wouldn’t admit it) was that he was tolerated because he was the only one willing to admit the truth and agree to solve the problems that most people really cared about. He talked about illegal immigration, crime and attacks against free speech and gun rights and the exportation of all American jobs to China and Mexico. So they choose him against !JEB! and Marco and Ted and Kasich and everybody else and they even come out in blue states like PA and MI. And they beat the Clintons and make him president.
And now against all odds he’s keeping his word. And this has stirred up the press and the democrats and the Obama and Bush bureaucrats and they’re gunning for him with every smear and dirty trick imaginable. So far, he’s been able to fight them to at least a draw and maybe even a little better. But the pressure is growing and the press is getting even more outrageous. And never forget how weak and untrustworthy the republican congress really is. If they decide that Trump is weakened they’ll drop him like a hot potato. So what can you do? Be ready to show your support with messages to your congressmen and senators. Send letters to the editors of your local newspaper. Voice your opinion and support Trump in any way you can. He’s risking everything he’s got for you, because, let’s face it, if he goes down they’re going to destroy him every way they can. The least you can do is show support. Show some spunk. If America was a little more Trumpified maybe the lefties wouldn’t be as bold as they are now. Maybe if ten million of us marched on Washington we could make an impression. But just realize that trying to get along with the left is not a solution. It’s the reason for this problem we’re already in.
Which way will it go? Who knows. But the important thing to remember is that it can be done. Never accept another McCain or Romney or Bush for your representative. If it’s a weak loser you might as well elect a real communist. You’ll get the same result without the confusion and disappointment. And one other thing. If Trump loses, the time will come soon when you’ll either have to fight for your rights or admit you’re a slave. And if you choose the latter that’ll be the last thing you’ll ever get to choose.

The Hunting of the Snark
If you grew up with Watergate as the primary example of Republicans self-immolating, then news that Jeff Sessions recused himself from investigating the Russian Scandal sounds ominous. But Donald Trump is not your father’s Republican. This morning I read that Donald Trump was tweeting how Obama had wire-tapped Trump Tower during the election. That’s more like it.
Trump seems to have a well-developed instinct for public relations. I think he is working an angle to allow him to use public opinion to defuse the Obama trip-wires that we see being deployed by Deep State actors and the Fake Media. The only question in my mind is whether the initial actions by Obama’s surrogates are immune from legal consequences. Being the petty, vindictive individual I am, I whole-heartedly hope for some truly horrific retribution involving extended prison terms and plea-bargains involving state’s evidence that leads to indictments of former presidents with the (D) associated to their names.
The way that I would approach this is to announce that the leaking of investigatory information was a conspiracy to destabilize the United States government and therefore a form of treason. I would give anyone who wanted to avoid prosecution, the chance to come forward with the details in advance of an investigation. Anyone who did not come forward and had information of the conspiracy would be liable for prosecution as a co-conspirator. That would surely produce some actionable information and allow for the rounding up of the main actors. From what I remember, treason still has the death penalty attached to it. And atheist communists know of nothing less desirable than being dead. So, it should be interesting to see where this sort of quail hunt goes.
But the first step is to provide a pardon to Jeff Sessions (and General Flynn) in advance and move forward with the hunt. That should take all the wind out of the sails of the democrats and let them know that they are being hunted by the guy they tried to set up. These democrats have had things their own way their whole lives and someone who doesn’t play by their rules will have a pretty easy time of mopping the floors with them. After all, the element of surprise is an incredibly powerful thing to have on your side, especially against the complacent.
On a personal note, I think it would be extremely interesting to get state’s evidence from someone like an FBI insider. There must be a list of House and Senate names involved that would empty their side of the aisle if the true story ever came out.
Trump vs The Deep State
Announcer’s Voice (surprising Don Pardo-esque!) – We interrupt this regularly scheduled and highly uninteresting programming to bring an important message from the President of the United States.
(President Trump) – Good evening, my fellow Americans, I hate to break in on your viewing of “Fresh Off the Boat” or whatever other crapfest you were watching, but I need you to wake up for thirty seconds, put down the Doritos and listen carefully.
For the last few months, ever since I kicked Hillary’s ass in the election, Obama and his stooges in the FBI, CIA and NSA have been cooking up a sting operation against my nominees to stop all the things I’m doing to drain the swamp. You see, they are the swamp and they don’t want to be drained. Unfortunately some of the appointees allowed themselves to be tricked into trying to hide the contacts that the sting operation was using as bait. Well that doesn’t reflect well on their own intelligence and honesty. But they’re also the best we’ve got so I can’t allow this nonsense to go on.
That is why I’ve come up with a two prong solution to this problem. First I’m providing a blanket pardon to all these nabobs who took the Obama bait. They don’t deserve it but it’s the only way to put an end to this nonsense.
Second, I’m announcing a bounty for anyone who has evidence that I can use against this little cabal that Obama and Clinton have cooked up. I’m calling it Dollars for Democrats. If you have evidence that will allow me to prosecute any of these losers, I’ll give you cash, lots of cash. You name the price. A million dollars, a hundred million dollars, let’s talk. I’ll also throw in a pardon and even secret service protection if it’s on Bill and Hillary (they’re known to get vicious, I’ve heard). And don’t forget, if you’ve got something showing who is leaking this stuff to the Times and Post I’ll get you a Presidential Medal of Valour (if there is such a thing) and probably put your face on a postage stamp.
Okay, that’s it. Go back to the bong now but try to remember and think about it if you still can. Trump out!
Post 100
(Scene 1: Outside the White House Press Conference Room)
President Trump (PT): – Hey Smith, how’s it going today?
Secret Service Agent Smith (AS): – Very well, Mr. President.
PT: – What’s next on the torture chamber assembly line?
AS: – Sir, the reporters are assembled for their 3pm disembowelment.
PT: – Hey Smith, that’s actually funny. I thought you weren’t allowed to have a sense of humor.
AS: – If the room is empty sir, and we’re at ease, I can be reasonably at ease.
PT: – Good, this job is worse than TV sometimes. It’s nice to be myself with an actual human being sometimes.
AS: – Well, I consider myself almost human most of the times.
PT: – Compared to those vampires in the press room, you’re a regular saint.
AS: – That’s a pretty low bar to jump sir.
PT: – True.
AS: – Mr. President, can I ask you a question about these press conferences?
PT: – I guess. What do you want to know.
AS: – Well, if I had to talk with those batshit vermin I’d probably pitch a few of them out a window. How do you keep from walking out on that pack of imbeciles?
PT: – Smith, let me guess. You’re retired military?
AS: – Marines, Iraq, three tours.
PT: – So you know what your enemy looks like and you know how to engage him.
AS: – Yes sir.
PT: – Well, those reporters are my enemy and this how I engage. In fact, it’s sort of like when you guys rolled through Baghdad, not even a close match. And to be totally honest I enjoy pummeling these losers almost as much as I enjoyed kicking Hillary’s ass in the election.
AS: – Well, I guess there are all kinds of different skills out there. But yours is certainly strange to me.
PT: – I dunno. I think we’re both trying to get a job done. This country is under attack on all sides. You guys in the military have a pretty clear cut job. But terrorists aren’t the only enemy. The progressives are trying to dismantle our way of life. And if a big city boy like me sees it then it’s not something at the fringe. I’ve seen stuff like this becoming more and more of an impediment to business, culture and even personal life. The republicans aren’t up to stopping it. Hell, some of them are part of it. So what you need is someone willing to take the fight to them. And if I do say so myself, I really know how to cut these dimwits off at the knees. And, God help me, I really do enjoy it.
AS: – Well, fair enough. If that’s your bread and butter, then more power to you. But tell me one other thing. Why hasn’t anybody else been able to do this before you?
PT: – Because, they’re amateurs. These guys couldn’t sell a life preserver to a drowning man. They think the good guys win automatically. I’m hoping to start teaching some of the better ones how to get things done. But for now I’ll be running this circus. My next trick is gonna be building a public voice to force the democrat senators up for re-election in 2018 to support the platform the people want.
AS: – Sounds like you’ve got things well in hand.
PT: – Oh, hell no. This thing is a flying circus and every five minutes it starts spinning out of control again. But I don’t know any other way to get these things done.
AS: – Well, good luck today Mr. President. I hope you have a successful campaign.
PT: – Thanks Smith.
(Scene 2 – Later inside the Conference Room, President Trump is at the podium)
PT: – Alright, I think there’s time for one more question.
Reporter (RPT): – Mr. President, I’m Rash Partisan for CNN. My question is, since it’s going to take you two years to build your wall how will you prevent the “bad hombres” from doing whatever the hell they want until then?
PT: – Short term, I’d say about a dozen attack copters will handle any really major force of narcotraficantes or other bad actors we have to deal with.
RPT: – That’s not legal, that’s a war crime.
PT: – Yeah, sure. Do me a favor. Here’s a quarter, call someone who cares. Alright, that concludes our press conference. Now get the hell out of here. We’ve got work to do.
Trump vs PLOTUS
President Trump (PT): Mike, where are you? I need your help.
Mike Pence (MP): Right here, Mr. President. What can I do for you?
PT: I need to announce another appointment.
MP: Uhh, Mr. President, those are all finished.
PT: Wrong, Pence. I have selected the next PLOTUS.
MP: I’m not familiar with that acronym.
PT: Poet Laureate of the United States.
MP: Oh, Mr. President, I mean, I enjoy trolling these people almost as much as you do. But isn’t that a bridge too far? Oprah may have a stroke or something.
PT: Hey look, I need to have some fun with this job. I’m also gonna make this a twofer by appointing him to the Board of Directors of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
MP: Alright, I’ll bite. Who have you picked?
PT: A man whom I have fired. A former business associate who does not like me. I have been completely impartial. The most impartial. This appointment is strictly on the merits of his poetry. His greatness is well known. Like me he is from New York City. He hails from the famous neighborhood of Sheepshead Bay. Not far from Trump Village. A truly great building complex. And like me he has appeared on SNL. His name is Andrew Dice Clay. His poetry is probably best known for incorporating traditional English nursery rhymes. His haiku on Mother Goose is legendary.
MP: Oh good grief. This is going to cost us on the evangelical vote.
PT: Nah, we may lose some feminists, but let’s be realistic. I’m not getting them anyway. Plus can you just see the headlines on the Times, The New Yorker, The Atlantic? They’ll be marching with those stupid hats for weeks. And I’ll commission PLOTUS to write a commemoration. Possibly something to do with Nantucket. And while everyone is busy I’ll get a replacement for Kennedy onto SCOTUS.
MP: You know, this one almost makes sense. Alright count me in. But to truly do justice to this action I believe you should make the proclamation on SNL.
PT: That’s a tough one. They really hate me there. But that’s an interesting idea. I’ll think about it.
MP: You know, I didn’t even know Clay was still alive.
PT: Yeah, he’s been on a downward trend since I fired him on the Apprentice. He could probably use a full-time gig too. I think I’ll get him a spot in the Justice Department. Possibly running Title IX enforcement. That should balance out some of the social justice holdovers from Obama.
MP: Now that actually kind of is poetry. Poetic Justice, if you’ll pardon the pun.
PT: Wow, Mike. You really need to loosen up. That was a lead balloon. I tell you what. I’ll rent you a copy of Ford Fairlane and have PLOTUS give you a few lessons in funny. What do you say?
MP: Hickory dickory, dock?
Trump vs Photog
(Scene 1 – White House West Wing)
President Trump (PT): Steve, who’s this guy Photog from Orion’s Cold Fire that you’ve put on my appointment calendar? Is he safe to see? He sounds like some kind of cult leader.
Stephen Bannon (SB): Mr. President, he’s a strange but brilliant man who has parodied your campaign and presidency in posts on his website.
PT: Oh, he’s that blogger nut that makes fun of me?
SB: Pretty much.
PT: What has he got on you? Pictures with a hooker.
SB: Not quite, just professional courtesy.
PT: All right send the jackass in.
Photog (PH): Hello Mr. President. It’s an honor to meet you.
PT: You have a funny way of showing it. Schmoopy? What the hell is that?
PH: Well Mr. President, it was a Seinfeld joke.
PT: Seinfeld? That guy hates me. He’s a total jerk!
PH: Well artists are a strange bunch.
PT: So, why are you here wasting my time? Don’t you know how much I’ve got going on?
PH: I do. But I know you’ve got a lot of capable staff to get it done so, I thought I would make some suggestions and hope for the best.
PT: Like what?
PH: Well, for one thing, I think you should be on TV.
PT: Hey Einstein, I just got off TV. I have a new gig. Maybe you’ve heard of it POTUS?
PH: Hear me out. I think you should have a weekly show. Each week you can speak directly to the American people. Give them a highlights reel of what’s happening. Tell them about some problem that you want them to know about. Maybe read a letter from one of them. Also, get them involved in some initiative. Maybe a contest or two based on the most popular suggestion or maybe the least crazy one. And make sure you give them a little good news every once in a while. You could even get some celebrities, the ones who aren’t against you to provide a little entertainment. Your first guests can be the New England Patriots. You’re supposed to congratulate them anyway. Might as well get some mileage out of that to start things off.
PT: Sounds kind of hokey.
PH: Hokier than the Apprentice or a beauty contest?
PT: Hmm. Good point. Well what else have you got?
PH: I think once you have two of your Supreme Court selections approved, you should get Congress to pass legislation outlawing affirmative action.
PT: Are you crazy? The women and the minorities will go crazy. It’ll star a civil war.
PH: Actually, it will avert one. Don’t you realize that you were elected because you addressed some of the grievances that white men are experiencing because of the same nonsense that allows the affirmative action travesty to continue? How is affirmative action anything but government mandated discrimination? Really, it’s time to end it.
PT: You’re a dangerous individual Photog.
PH: Quite the contrary, I think ending affirmative action could act to avert danger. Think of it as a relief valve to release some of the pressure building up among white men. There are forces on the right that are getting tired of the war against them. This might calm everyone down a lot. Plus, everybody would get the respect they deserve by earning it on the merits.
PT: I’ll think about it. Anything else?
PH: Yes. Change your image. Drop forty pounds. Lose the spray-on tan and go with a razor cut. You’ve got to look more professional.
PT: All right that’s enough. Don’t call me I’ll call you. Maybe.
PH: Goodbye Mr. President.
Publius Decius Mus and his Enemies
Publius Decius Mus (author of the anonymous and influential article “The Flight 93 Election” has been revealed to be Michael Anton. And he has taken a job as the White House’s, Communications Director of the National Security Council. Anton immediately found himself attacked by the usual suspects, leftists and never-Trumpers. He’s all kinds of bad things. He’s a Nazi (of course), a fascist, a reactionary. He’s too smart to just be a deplorable. He must be an evil genius. Anton was part of the George W Bush administration and a card-carrying neo-con. But he saw the mistakes that were made and recognized the overreach and delusion that defined the Bush view. He saw that Conservatism Inc. (his term for the pundits) was not interested in the issues that faced the everyday people. They were uninterested in either rampant illegal immigration that depressed their wages, rampant globalism that exported their jobs or unchallenged cultural Marxism that demeaned their beliefs and proselytized their children.
The Flight 93 Election article was clear and I think convincing. It provided the logical reason for even a high-powered intellect to embrace the Trump presidential bid as the only hope of avoiding a fundamental and probably irreversible degradation to the American way of life. I remember agreeing with the article completely and finding comfort in knowing that someone clearly intelligent and literate had expressed in the public square what I also believed was at stake in the 2016 election.
So why am I writing this post? Because once again, the Trump administration has done something good. They have plucked a former W insider who was part of the Iraq War catastrophe and because he believes in what the Trump White House wants to get done, they’re using him. Smart.
People keep telling me how crazy Trump is, how dumb he is. Well if he is then he sure knows how to hide it. Admittedly when he goes off script he sounds like Ralph Kramden of the Honeymooners talking to the members of the Racoon Lodge about how he is going to put one over on their wives. But every time he makes a move it turns out to be the right one. One theory I’ve been trying out is that Melania is the puppet-mistress pulling The Donald’s strings. Well, if this is so then lucky him. But more likely, he has learned how to size up advisers. And he’s surrounded himself with people who know what they are doing. If that is true, then hiring Anton is just another good example of Trump recognizing good people. I’ve read some of Anton’s non-political writings and he is witty and clear.
Well, all this sounds just like a puff piece. Where’s the dramatic tension? I’ll tell you where. I’m disgruntled. Trump and his people knew Decius was a Bush guy but reading his articles must have convinced them that he should be part of the team. I consider myself a great intellectual too. And I’ve written dozens of posts on Trump that put him in a good light (well I do poke some gentle fun at you, schmoopy). So where’s my cushy Washington job with a view of Pennsylvania Avenue? Come on Donald, you know where to reach me. Send the helicopter and let’s do a meeting. As your science and technology adviser I can streamline all these boondoggle programs and actually get something useful done. With my help, you can make nerds great again. But this is a short-term offer. On January 9th 2025 this offer will be null and void (well, unless you’re listening too Mike Pence, errr, sir). So, hurry up schmoopy.
Groundhog Day and Still Winning
Happy Groundhog Day! All fans of Bill Murray’s classic know that in order to escape from the Purgatory of endlessly reliving a day trapped in a boring hick town in winter you have to recognize your fatal sin and eliminate it. For the democrats the endless loop is Trump giving them another hot foot. Their sin is contempt for the average non-elite American.
Luckily for us Deplorables, they’re highly unlikely to even recognize this as a fault. They’ll continue to rage and riot and show the rest of the country how little respect they have for any of the things regular Americans want done.
So it’s been a meme for quite a while to ask yourself if you’re tired of winning yet. This is a play on a statement by Trump that his administration would be winning so much, that Americans would get tired of winning.
So every morning when I get to work, I talk to the Coffee Walk Baunch and I ask them if they’re tired of winning. They’re not.
I have a good memory of every presidential administration going back to LBJ. I can honestly say that even Reagan never produced this much glee. I am honestly glad every morning to hear what Trump has accomplished and even happier to hear which lefty loon is apoplectic about it. And like clockwork, whatever reaction they commit blows up in their faces like it was in some kind of Road Runner cartoon. Only under this administration the democrats are always the coyote.
Almost as amusing, is seeing the old guard republican pundits warily sizing up every new Trump action to see if it’s safe yet to attack it. They’ve been burned so many times doing this that they are gun shy of just jumping in and condemning him. But you can tell that they just can’t whole heartedly accept that Trump is the real deal. After all, he looks and sounds like an extra from a Seinfeld episode. How can he be smarter than them? Well, earth to pundits, he is! Supreme Court picks, wall construction, cabinet picks, immigration policy, bureaucracy reduction, environmental policy, energy policy, education policy, check, check, check, check, check, check, check, check! Yep, he’s way smarter than you and he’s way more useful than you and, shock of shocks, he’s actually way more “conservative” than you.
And so I’ll bring this back around to Groundhog Day. I wouldn’t mind waking up every day and hearing that Donald Trump had shocked and offended the democrats. I would even be willing to have my alarm clock start every single day with Sonny and Cher belting out “I Got You Babe” if it meant that Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi and The New York Times and CNN were also waking up to it along with some new bit of Trump jiu-jitsu that was just for them. Because “He’s Got Them.”
But I want to get involved in it. I think Trump should contact all his campaign donors and take a poll of what new affront to democrat dignity would be especially popular with the troops. Maybe the best idea could be announced at a presidential address (or at least given a tweeted shout-out). My suggestion would be to stop all support to California until they stop violating immigration laws. This would be especially effective with respect to college money being lavished on illegal aliens. But I’m sure there are thousands of good ideas out there in the American psyche just waiting for Trump to add it to the endless winning that is our present life. Long may Ground Hog Day continue. Amen.
Trump vs the Martian
(Scene 1 – White House West Wing)
Mike Pence (MP): Mr. President, I got your message.
Donald Trump (DT): Hello Mike. Yeah, I need some help.
MP: Yes, what can I do?
DT: Until our NSF man is appointed I need to get someone to get the eggheads working on something for me.
MP: Sure I’ll get someone on the phone right away and have them line up the subject matter experts you need. What is the subject?
DT: Nukes.
MP: Mr. President, isn’t it a little early in the term to start rattling sabres?
DT: No not bombs, power plants.
MP: But why Mr. President? With fracking and the lower prices it isn’t economical to build nuclear power plants.
DT: Think big Mike. Sure, oil’s cheap now but it isn’t infinite. We’ve got to look for a fuel that will still be around in a thousand years and solve the problems before we’re already using it.
MP: Alright, that’s true. But right now the environmentalists are up in arms about the climate change thing and are ready to start a war with you.
DT: Exactly. And that’s how I’m gonna sell it to them. I’ll make them put their money where their mouths are.
MP: How?
DT: I’ll simply say if they believe that global warming is real then they must support an alternative to fossil fuels. It’s just been shown how useless wind and solar are for practical power generation. I’ll tell them if they want to save the planet, they’ll have to sign on to this initiative. They’ll be too scared to admit the whole thing was a hoax so they’ll be backed into a corner. And once they agree it’ll utterly piss off the Gaia crowd who hate nukes worse than they hate me. It’s a real win win.
MP: Sounds like an interesting idea. Where do you intend to locate this new project?
DT: Detroit.
MP: No, Mr. President! The optics would be terrible!
DT: Wrong again. This program would generate jobs all the way from PhD’s down to janitors. Putting Americans to work is the best kind of optics there is. And Detroit needs jobs like nowhere else.
MP: Maybe you’re right about this. But why are you suddenly interested in nuclear power?
DT: Because I’m from Queens.
MP: I don’t understand.
DT: Have you ever seen the site of the 1963 World’s Fair?
MP: Well yes. The Unisphere and the flying saucer towers that they showed in Men in Black.
DT: Yeah. Well I was a teenager when my parents brought me to it. And I saw a vision of the future that included unlimited power, space travel, a cure for cancer and flying cars. Well I’m seventy years old and the only space age thing I see is the cell phone in my pocket.
That doesn’t cut it.
My grandkids are going to live in a world without limits. I’m tired of losers whining about why we can’t do the things we know we can do. And I think it’s about time we start doing them. I’m also going to restart the space program. But we’re gonna need a better propulsion system to get to Mars. I saw Matt Damon raising potatoes in his own poop because it took two years to get to Mars. With nukes we could get there in two weeks. That’s what we’re gonna do.
MP: I’ll get them on the phone.
DT: Oh, and see if anyone has a background in underwater construction. I always wanted to build a hotel in the Gulf of Mexico. Good winter vacation spot.
President Trump – The Greatest Show on Earth
A week or two ago I lamented the demise of the Barnum and Bailey Circus. I hereby retract that sentiment. If the initials in P.T. Barnum stood for President Trump instead of Phineas Taylor I wouldn’t be any surer that I am now witnessing the Greatest Show on Earth.
I have contributed to several republican presidential candidates in my life and sometimes felt I was repaid with the results. But never had I imagined that my recompense for contributing to Trump would include laughter and amazement.
We are now surrounded by a show the likes of which Americans have never seen or imagined. Compared to the glacial pace of most new administrations, Trump is a veritable juggernaut. No sooner does he dismantle one Obama mess than he begins assaulting some other monstrosity. And throughout the proceedings the press and the leftist crazies run around in circles decrying some off-hand remark about crowds at the inauguration or pink hat wearing harpies. For the last two months, I have been hearing from happy right wingers that too much winning might actually be a medical condition with health risks associated. I don’t know about that but I can attest that you can hurt your ribs from too much laughing.
Honestly, I can’t remember being this happy since the beginning of the millennium. And I am aware that all good things will come to an end. But it’s very difficult for me to worry about that now. The giddiness that envelops me has started to effect my critical faculties and I find myself imagining all sorts of absurd possibilities. What if PT launched a government television show (on PBS?) in which citizens could call in and recommend a particularly odious government regulation to eliminate. Every week Americans could vote on line (like American Idol) and Trump could preside as the judge.
Or maybe he could amuse us like FDR did with fireside chats. But instead of pep talks he could regale us with which reporter or which celebrity had told the biggest lies about his administration. Maybe he could announce which American company had expanded employment. Possibly there could be a lottery for some of these jobs. Now that would sell.
Of course, this all sounds like a fever dream. But it’s hardly crazier than the POTUS saying that Mexico will pay for a wall to keep its citizens out of the US. And the best part about it is that he actually can do it. We’ve always heard that the president was the most powerful man in the world. And the strength of the American armed forces and up until recently of its industry made that true. But who ever imagined that the president could also be this much fun?
Anyway, eventually all this will come back to earth. But right now, it feels like anything is possible and things keeping going from good to better. Seeing those leftist ghouls shrieking and running in circles and Trump just telling them off is like the scene in the Lord of the Rings where Saruman discovers that his voice can no longer confuse or seduce his enemies and leads him to resort to insult until he is broken and dismissed by his new boss.
So here is my hat off to you PT. You truly have become the greatest show on earth and without any danger of exaggeration, the show is absolutely huuuuge!
