Making Trump Harmless

I WON'T BE WATCHING the state of the union speech tonight. I am convinced that it will consist primarly and nearly exclusive of propaganda,a long list lf alleged achievements by Trump, a self aggrandizing litany of outright lies. With everybody free to fashion hiso or her own reality and live in it, Trumpers will find a way to find the ranting gibberish inspiring and beautful, profound and true, and the rest of us, America's politically and emotionally sane, will be astonished, outraged, and disgusted with the brazeness and sheer number of lies and wil, unsubstantiated claims of fact. One wouldn't be the least bit surprised to hear the good news that wereeas the war in Europe rages on, the number of casualites has been significantly reduced on both sides - because of Presdent Trump's direct intervention, or whatever. Horse manure of that nature is what we're going to hear. Everybody has a presence in real space and time, most of us have one online. Trumpers love his simplistic English and juvenile reasoning capabilities, for it matches their own. I still haven't started saying what I want to say to Trump supporters generally, what I fully intend to start staying That you, my fellow citizen, are in my opinion doing preciesly the appropriate thing is supporting Trump, because mentally, intellecaully, and morally, you remind me of Trump,and in fact you and he are, in terms of personality characteristcs, nearly identical. Especialy intellectually, in terms of educational and intellectual level. And if some sensitive and perceptive Trumper, a rare breed, happens, like a blind squirrel finding an acorn, happens to dimly preceive that this remark is not only not a complement but indeed is intended to be an insult, cleverly, deceitfully couched like a compliment and is angered by it, that's their problem. If you tell somebody that they remind you of their hero, or favorite politician, shey should feel complimented, shouldn't they?I fully intend to make this point with increasingly frequency over the next three years, and see what happens. "You should support Trump, because not only do you support his policies, but you are nearly identical to him, morally and intellectually". I thought you would and should be flatterd by that, and if you're not, why not?" I intend to find out what I come up with if I tpe in "stupid remarks made by Trump". There must be a sit where all fo the "George Washington capruring airports" type of stuff is stored, and there is a lot of it. Rather than sweepit under a rug, or allowed to lie dormant and ignored in the corner, it should be dusted off, all of it, including the breatest hits, and paraded around. Why? Because Trump's windmill cancer kind of remarks are many, there is an impressive collection of them needing to be preserved for posterior, and becaue they are not flukes, not isolated instances of gagffes. They are mainstreamn, normal, typical Trump, astonishingly. Trump's verbal inanities are no less consistant and persistant those those of Yogi and Caesy Stengal, but far less charming, far less endearing, funny, but in a twisted, unhealthy rather than a charming, funny way. I will, anfer the fact, find out essentially what Trump said. Of course its important. Even a mad tyrant merits attention, arguably, more than anyone. Trum must be vigorously opposed, not ignored. Those who support him are dwindling in number, and keep doins so. The sooner the better, the more lame duck he becomes. Trying to replace him before the elctions is a hopeless pipe dream, not necessarily desirable. At ths point, reducing Trump to harmless irrrelevance is the best we can hope for.
