One thing you have to admit about Donald Delirious is he has a sense of aesthetics. He leans toward the ornate, golf leaf and the sort of Roman Empire stuff.
He does not like green marble, which he says looks cheap and he wants the UN to replace that stuff, maybe with marble with gold leaf inlays, and some red plush drapes.
He will have Iran pay for that.
He also disparaged the White House, which he called a "dump" because some of the marble staircases were sagging, having borne the weight of Lincoln, Kennedy, Roosevelt and others over the centuries. He'll work on replacing that and having Canada pay for that. Or maybe Korea.
This has actually been a great season, coming as it does during the golden age of TV, and we have Archie Bunker in the White House.
As long as he doesn't actually try to do anything, we ought to be alright and we can just enjoy the show.
Once he gets around to destroying healthcare--that "disaster known as Obamacare"--or deporting the 800,000 "dreamers"--or nuking Korea, then we can start gnashing and wailing, but until then, he's just a six year old demanding attention, which, if he's funny, can be amusing.
I'd worry more about that dark force coalition out there, all those foundations and think tanks with the bland names like "American Prosperity" and "American Enterprise" and "Free Congress Research and Education" and Cato, Hudson, Hoover, Manhattan, or the "Institute for Justice" or the Washington Legal Foundation.
You'd never know these are right wing nests of iniquity from those names. They sound so friendly, so open, so non judgmental.
But these are the real termites in the timbers which hold up the house. Trump may be out there shaking the rafters, but unless the little chewies have been at work over the years, the foundation holds. Given a good strong infestation, however and all it takes is a good hard shake to bring it all tumbling down.

Mad Dog,
ReplyDeleteThe other day the Idiot-in Chief re-tweeted a video of himself hitting a golf ball into the back of Hillary Clinton. Revolting, monumentally un-Presidential and not even remotely funny. Yesterday, however, I have to agree, had its entertaining moments, most especially because of the setting. There he is in the supposed haven of diplomacy, flanked by that "offensive" green tile, being so aggressively undiplomatic. Of course he only has two speeds-aggressive and foaming at the mouth, ragingly aggressive. Yesterday he was the former. Take that Rocket Man. Up yours Iran. Stick it Venezuela... My favorite moment was seeing the pained, worried expressions of Rex Tillerson and Nikki Haley holding their breath in the audience. One can only imagine their thoughts-"Holys**t what's the lughead going to say next that I'm going to have to defend?"...Priceless...
Also couldn't agree more with the termite analogy-well said. It is indeed those relentless, under the radar foundations, bankrolled by the top 1%, that pose the greatest threat. Well, provided all this bombastic rhetoric doesn't push Rocket Man over the edge...

ReplyDeleteMaud,
ReplyDeleteOn the bright side, the Rocket Man appellation suggests Donald Dim is an Elton John fan, and that cannot be all bad.
