Trump's a Chump

Watching Donald Trump shoot his fool mouth is better than seeing Monty Python for the first time. Goddamn, that man is hilarious. His ability to sell a joke is beyond reproach. How he can manage to keep a straight face in the face of complete absurdity is a remarkable skill. It must be from all the TV work he gets.

Trump is a complete parasite. He’s the dark side of the American dream, a succubus that made his fortunes on the literal backs of people. With the pull of a slot machine lever, he vacuumed his fortune directly from the pockets of others. He cheaply marketed a facsimile of the “Good Life” to hapless rubes. He is nothing but a sleaze merchant.

More important to note, Donald Trump is a hypocrite. Trump is happy to use Chinese and Mexican labor to his own advantage, and in a second breath, condemn them as shiftless, second-class global citizens. He likes to have his cake and eat it too, and he wants you to know it. He wants you to know your place. Most douche bags do.            

I want to see him burn as much of his money as possible on this flight of fancy. Maybe then, once he’s embarrassed himself enough, and spent enough, his voice will become a distant memory, and the public can get back to the ugly task of selecting the least evil of the many lessers foolhardy enough to ooze their way into the presidential race.

Trump is neither the president you want, nor the president you need. America needs to get past the blowhards, and ignore partisan politics for a while. The system is rotten to the core. It needs to be repaired first. Infrastructure isn't a partisan issue. Cauterizing corruption and taking outside money out of the equation shouldn't be a partisan issue either. You want America back? Start by punting the swines at the trough. 

Trump is right about one thing. America is broken. Happily it doesn’t have to be. The fix isn’t even that difficult. The first thing you have to do is add “none of the above” to the ballot. Sooner or later, through all that sifting, you’ll find the right person for the job.
