The Repeated Remaking of Donald J. Trump

DONALD TRUMP has changed his voter registration seven times, so that tells you something; that he is a man of great versatility, politically. Raise the red flag. Republican, democrat, reform, and, unless memory serves not, socialist, communist seventh day adventist, reform baptist, and fascist, to name a few. Meet the Donald, with more versions of himself than Genesis has version of creation (2). Fred trump told his little boy to go big, do big things, and big the Donald went, has named now firmly affixed to more buildings than that of the former Saul of Tarsus the christian killer turned Paul, bane of the unsaved, who suffered his own self identity confusion. Trump has had four gorgeous wives to date, or is it a mere three, and a nearly unbelievably huge array of businesses, failed and otherwise. Wives and businesses don't always come cheap. Nobody, himself included, knows how much money he has on any given day. that depends on his mood, inner truth detector,greed, and estimate of the opening bell value of his sundry assets and exalted name, which appears eve on his helicopter, weirdly enough. And now we arrive at what is surely the climax of a colorfully checkered career, trump the presidential candidate, vintage republican. In a land where political perception makes the most extreme carnival fun house look like stark naked, objective reality, Donald the Chameleon just may pull it off. and what a hoot that would be, and what a wild ride for us all. If Guatemala can elect a stand up comedian to its highest office, which it can and did, we can surely do the same in the United States of Allusion. is he liberal, conservative, does it depend on the day of the week, and does he even know the difference, or care? ask him next week, but not today; he might not know or tell the truth if he does. Will he really be oblivious enough of reality to build the great wall of Mexico? You can bet your frayed rope ladder and dirty shovel he will. Fiscal policy? A mere game of monopoly. foreign policy? Maybe leave NATO, maybe not, cozy up to Putin, make the Islamic State glow in the dark with nukes made in America. make America great, again and again. Economic policy and job creation strategy? bring back all those outsourced jobs, perhaps even including the ones he himself outsourced, numerous that theY are. Load up eleven million Mexicans on buses, send 'em packing, and, while were at it, do the same to five million American Muslims, on buses without life jackets. But he still isn't done. he is busy being sincerely regretful for all those nasty things he has said about all living Americans. Hitting back ten times as hard, just as he was instructed all those years ago, Trump listened not only to daddy but to cut throat lawyers, having listened to the advice of his con man thug mentor Roy Cohn. Now that the Donald has yet another campaign staff in place, this one marginally sane, Trumpian regret is the order of the day. It is absolutely amazing what a sharp drop in the polls will do for a nasty man's contrition. A thousand apologies go out to "Lying Ted", "little Marco", and a thousnad more go out to the Gold Star family so recently ruthlessly verbally attacked by the big bad bully. So sorry to have offended FOX news anchor person Megan kelley, all those long months ago. Oh, how very regretful we suddenly are. Bring out the sad mournful violins, the kleenex, and the dark confessional closet of trumps' twisted, mean spirited mind. But not fast do we apologize to! crooked Hillary. One can do only so much regretting, and only after the battle is won. After all that, a man of seventy years need to settle his current image into an easy chair, and mix a nice cocktail, perhaps a bloody Mary and Manhattan combined, with the flavor of the day, which will fool you, believe me.----------------------------PLEASE SHARE THIS WEBSITE WITH OTHERS.
