Hating Trump With Class

TRUMP HATER that I am, I get a little tired of reading, especially on Facebook, the remarks my fellow Trump haters make about him. The hair. Always the hair. Over the top though it indeed seems to be, a toupe to end all toupes, so what? Let's face it, we are a nation of hirsute happy folks, in which we go to great lengths to coiffe ourselves stylishly. Those of a certain age will remember the "big hair" days of the eighties, when perms larger than life were everywhere on the move. In 1964 the Betles showed up in Shea stadium with hair reaching over their ears, and a ational sensation, for and against, ensued. Then came the late sixties and early seventies, an era of waxen faxen down to our knees long hair, as the song goes in the musical "Hair". When I look at my high school yearbook picture senior year, 1973, I smile at my own mop top. A quick peak at the men's wigs of the eigtheenth century (Geroge Washington never appeared in pblic without his powdered wig, like many other aristocrats of the day), and the goldie locks of George Armstrong Custer in thelong haired nineteenth century, is sufficient to tell you that American culture, like European culture, is in love with hair styles. Finally Michael Jordan had the good sense to shave his head, and end all the Afro fuss, or try to. So, tonsorily, Trump in in large company - we the American people. Let's forget his hair, and give him a pass. Or better yet, let's just ignore it, and, as we like to say, "move on". I posted a short essay exhorting people to criticize Trump on two grounds: his words and deeds. On the tangible, the important, the meaningful. I reminded people that, when you consider the sheer amount of material rife and ripe for the picking, what are we waiting for? Then too there's the constant name calling. A moron will show you his moronity, an idiot will show you his idiocy, We needn't name it. Trump actually said that windmills cause cancer, that "they say" they cause cancer, and that George Washington's army captured airports during the American revolution. He really did. And this is the mere iceberg tip. Thirty thousand blatant, outlandish, documented lies while president. The innumerable criminal acts. A violent incitement to insurretion in living color on national television. Yes, the material is abundant, would and does fill volumes and libraries. Why not remind the world of it? Sadly, strangely, only one lady responded affirmitively to my little morality ploy. My little admonition was largely disregarded. My fellow liberals and anti-MAGA folks simply do not want to abandon their slanderous, insulting methods. The one lqdy who did express agreement with me; know what she said."Yes, I totally agree. Trump is a complete MORON. I told her she seemed to have missed the point. She probably missed it again, after I told her the second time. Resigning myself to the inevitable, all I could do is sigh pensively, and, as we like to say, move on.
