What’s So Bad About Trump?
Want to see the most remarkable political moment in the past ten years? Take a look at the video of the Carter funeral yesterday and notice the interaction between Barack Obama and Donald Trump.
Now, here are two guys who you would think couldn’t find any reason to have anything to do with one another and yet they not only had a nice chat as they were waiting for things to get started at the Jimmy Carter affair, but obviously even shared a joke about something or other while they were sitting there in adjacent chairs.
What I’m now going to say will probably piss off most of my readers, but I ask you to just wait until I explain what’s behind my next sentence, okay?
And my next sentence goes like this: I’m actually finding Donald Trump to be a refreshing sort of public character, and I look forward to his presence and behavior over the next couple of years.
How could I say something which is so completely and totally contrary to what I have been saying about Orange Shithead over the past decade?
Because when all is said and done, Trump’s political career has not made any difference to anyone at all, notwithstanding all his racism, profanity and outright stupidity which characterizes just about everything he says.
