Trump, Constantly Running

FIVE MINUTES AFTER he was sworn in, Donald Trump filed the necessary paper work to run for reelection, to start a reelection campaign committee and fund, and all that. Ever since, he has been holding huge campaign rallies on a regular basis, as one might expect. You suspect that once he became president, Trump thought about it for a few minutes, liked the idea, and decided to do all in his power to make it permanent. Last night in Houston, Trump spoke at a campaign rally for Ted Cruz, yes, the same Ted Cruz Trump called "lying Ted" hundreds of times, when they were both running for president. The president seemed to be in rare form, even for him. He promised everybody a ten percent tax cut, said he was going to "put it in". Just like that.."put..it..in. I'll bet you didn't know that the president has the power to do that, to just "put in" a tax cut, even when congress is nowhere close to even being in session. Trump'll just snap his fingers, evidently. Maybe he figures the democrats will win control of the House, and he can blame them for the lack of a ten percent tax cut. This will backfire on him. Americans aren't that stupid. They have learned how to spot presidential prevarications (lies). The seven thousand member caravan of people heading towards the United States is a Democratic plot, says the president, in other late breaking presidential prevaricative update. Not only that, but the caravan is infused with folks from the middle east, no one knows exactly how many, but presumably enough to launch terrorist attacks, implies the president. The plan, evidently, is for the democrats to inject millions of illegal people into the country, then get them to vote illegally, presumably for democrats. Millions of illegal aliens vote illegally in American elections, Trump said last night, in what might have been his craziest comment of all, in a night full of crazy comments. Trump figured out long ago that his base supporters simply do not care what he says, whether he lies, as long as it sounds good, which means as long as Trump sounds pro America and bad ass, anti immigrant, anti government. As long as Trump gives his supporters a healthy dose of virulent right wing jargon, fact checking matters not, all who oppose Trump are spreaders of "fake news". The leader is sounding more Hitler-like, more fantastic, and his followers more detached from reality as the Trump agenda is repudiated by facts and common sense, and cast aside, finally.
