Enjoying the Trump Clown Show

THERE ARE, as many know, a million reasons to despise Donald Trump, and they generally fall into two or three main categories. One can despise him politically, for his horrible policy positions. One can despise him morally, for his evident complete lack of morality.. You can despise him for his stupidity, humorous though it is juxtaposed against his self proclaimed genius. If we who despise him for all one million reasons are honest, we'll admit that we actually like his stupidity, that we enjoy it not only because of the ammunition it gives us, but for the sheer its sheer hilarity and entertainment value. We who pay attention and keep track of Trump inanities all have our personal favorite examples. My all time number one favorite Trump stupid statement might still be his remark in a speech on the Fourth of July 2019 that Geroge Washington's army captured every airport in America during the Revolutionary War. He later claimed that he had misread the telepromtor. Uh huh, sure. That excuse only goes so far,which is nowhere. On onohe roccasion he gave credit to the Covid19 viruse for ending World war Two, in 1917. While the pandemic was raging during hi sfirst term, he said that if we stop testing people for the virus it would stop spreading. You couldn't make that up. An anti-vaxxer, his suggested cure for Covidwas inject bleach and horse dewormer into humans.This witch doctor remedy actually gained some degree of pupularity among his cult followers. Donald Trump,the self proclaimed "stable genius" gave humankind the ultimate means by which to disrupt and destroy powerful hurricanes and tornadoes; drop atomic bombas on them. We must hope that the never issues an executive order to drop a nuke into the eye of a storm. The president seems to have no more aptitude for geography than he dos for meteorology. Once, during a meeting with the Premier of China, Trump mentioned to his fellow head of state that China and India do not possess a common border. One might justifiably wonder precisely what, if anything, the stable genius thinks separates the two countries. Similarly,he wonders, he said, why on Earth we can't just call Great Britain "England", and leave it at that. Ever the transactionist, The Donald never missed an opportunity to upgrade, particularly when it comes to size: he suggested making a trade, Puerto Rico for Greenland. Whether he made this offer directly to the government of Denmark in Copenhagen, or he tweeted it on "X", or something, is unclear. Suffice to say, the offer, no doubt, still stands. Maybe teh Danish shuld give it some thought. Nor does American history seem to suit Trump's special kind of stable genius. He mde a few remakrs about the great abolitionist Frederick Douglas, all of the remarks in the present tense. It soon became obvious that the stable one was under the false impression that Frederick Douglas is still alive. That, of course, it true only in a spiritual sense. Trummp is well knwon for being a non drinker and non smoker, much to his credit. On the other hand, maybe he could us a few drinks. He is also a non exerciser, which is far different from booze and cigarettes, We all need exercise, as we all know. But not Trump. He believes, apparently sincerely, that the human body only has so much energy in it, that exercise shortens life by using up the body's energy faster than it should. So far no fitness guru has written a book promoting this point of view. It may be that those who do promote it are either dead, or upublished. But as we all know so well, our president is not one to rely upon the expertise of anyone other than himself. So, its settled. What I hate about Trump,above all else, is his alley cat morality. His politics is a close second. But I have to admit that I have grown rather fond of his stupidity, because for all the frustration associated with it Trump's stupidity does have the endearing quality of being consistently hilarious.
