Trump, Going Overboard

THE LETTERS ON THE MESSAGE SIGN said,at the convenience store, clearly: "Free gas on days Trump says nothing stupid". That seems like a generous offer, and maybe a bit risky, untio you consider the following: On any given day, as well Americans know all too well, Trump is extremely highly likely to say soemthing stupid.He rarely misses an opportunity. The odds of him missing even a single day of dumb-speak are, by all reasonable reckoning, vanishingly small. Even on days when he is relatively quiet, which are of course few and far between, he somehow always seems to utter at least one inanity,making a "Trupm stupid statement of the day" tear off calendar a very real possibility. Surely they already exist, and are available. I want one. It there are nonoe, or are not being heavily marketed, somebody is missing a helluva a business opportunity. Then too, everything Trump says can be interpreted, with a little bit of imagination,as "stupid". Stupid is as stupid does, we know. It seems safe to assume that the day will never come when a day of free gas will actually take place. But with Trump,its not just all talk. On a daily basis, America's Prevaricator in Chief manages to not only say but to actually do at least one stupid thing, and quite often, more than that, sometimes, many more. Yesterday, for example. In a single eigt hour work day, Trump managed to steer the navy and the United States military policy in the wrong direction, and to initiate a process which has no bneficial potential, but can only harm American relationshps with several of its closest allies. Other than that, its all good, as we say. Trump announced that construction will begin on two huge new old fashioned "battleships", completion in theory scheduled for the early thenty thirties. A pair of World War Two style ships, on steroids. The question is: why? Why, when the modern aircraft carrier supplanted the traditional battle ship as the most potent mainstay in the United States navy, rendering batleships functionally obsolete. Cariers can do everything battleships can do, and much much more. Why not simply build more of them? Another trillion or two tacked on to the burgeoning out of control national debt, for obsolete weapons. The nation's military leaders doubtless know full well how stupid this idea is, but cannot say so. Stupid thing number town has to do with Trump's long standing and evidently quite serious desire and goal of adding, believe it or not, Greenland to these United States. A quick look at a map or globe and it almost seems to make sense. A land rich resource rich land mass of an island jsut off America's norther coast, kind of, awaiting, in theory, only people and financial investment to become a fully developed engine of yet more American prosperity, The one percent, our illustrious infamous corporate elite ownership class, would doubtless go for this scheme whole hog, as it were. Can you imagine the real eestate feeding frenzy the Trump family is demonstably capable of and doubtless chomping at the bit to initiate? Two brand spanking new warhips, The USS Donald Trump and the USS Donald Trump II at port in America's fifty first state, The State of Trump, guarding against possible perfidy by either Denmark or the tiny Greenlandian population, which, by the way, wants independence from Denmark, but overwhelmingly wants nothing to do with the United States, if you can imagine such a thing. What's not to like about daily mass murders in metropolitan war zones, rampant poverty and violence, and a culture at war with and within itself?
