Picture Worth A Thousand Words

 With Donald Trump, who lives, like Max Headroom on TV, whose world is pictures and TV, perhaps the most appropriate response is pictorial.

It has been said that the undoing of Senator Joseph McCarthy was television, that once the American public got a load of what the guy looked like, on TV and this was juxtaposed with the images of people he attacked, McCarthy's downhill slide began.

So, here in the interest of making an argument with images rather than words, is a gallery.

Here is the man with whom Trump is enthralled:

Look Ma! I'm important now!

A little man with little man syndrome, determined to restore the greatness of the Russian empire.

And here is the woman he would ravage:

And here is the guy who wants to make a deal, who tells President Zelensky either his brains or his signature will be on that paper.

My Fans Love My Big Red Tie!

One of Putin's toadies,  Dimitry Medvevev, who called Zelensky an "insolent pig [who] finally got a proper slap."

Somehow, looking at Zelensky, that horse doesn't trot.

On the other hand, if we are comparing people to animals...

And Zelensky, himself, who had the temerity to show up at the Oval Office without a tie, the Churchill of his time, sitting in the Oval Office where Trump placed a bust of Churchill, Zelensky made Trump and Vance look very small, a giant among pigmies, when you compare souls.

And where are the ties on these guys?

What I want to know is where Trump and Vance got all the courage to confront President Zelensky without Musk at their side, or, as it usually is, with Musk dancing around like Gollum behind them.

Although some have said Gollum is not Musk, but his master.

But sometimes, an image tells more than we hear from the man himself.
