Trump, tweeting Yet Again

AS DR. FREUD could've told us, we are what we tweet. Examine the total opus of Trump's, or anyone's tweets, and you have your ma. In our latest installment, the president twittered that maybe, just maybe the election should be postponed.This is certainly in keeping with his well established pattern of sensational narcissism. Unless our scavengers failed to assiduously sift through this latest bullshit, Trump didn't say for how long it should be delayed, presumably long enough for the pandemic to subside, the economy to recover, and for Joe Biden to live out his life span. You might think that for the president of the USA to have the temerity to suggest that he remain in office indefinitely would be sufficient material in one tweet evern for a world class narcissist, and you would be wrong in this case. Too much, and never enough. Trump trumpeted his sacred intent to protect and defend the structural integrity of America's suburbs against the ravages of a potential Biden administration by which he implicitly means that he will go to any length necessary to keep upper middle and upper class lily white evangelical 'hoods upper middle class lily white Christian, cultural diversity be damned. he certainly has the experience necessary, back in the seventies when he and his father kept blacks out of Trump apartment buildings until the feds swooped down on them and ruined all the racist fun. No more unseemly encroachment by what James Madison genteely called "the lesser sorts", meaning those with the wrong religiosity, skin pigment, or socio-economic stratum. Trump will keep out the riff raff, Biden will not, is the upshot of the tweet.having long since flown from America's inner cities , the whites on the right shall never be forced to take flight again. Be sure that if working class Catholic Biden is elected, he will reverse decades of federal racist housing policies and force low income housing into the realm of the wealthy. Diversity will rule, and WASP purity sullied. The gene pool will be polluted by lord knows what; Muslims, blacks, browns, working poor. Trump hasn't had much success fighting the viral infection; be damned sure he will do better fighting the human one.
