A certain ambivalence

I have been out of the country, in Belize, for a week. During that time I did not receive my normal Quotidien portion of the antics of our head twit. I was able to see the highlights from time to time of his antics but not the steady drip that is normal. I suppose that should've been a total respite but oddly enough I found myself missing it. Now, I am not disabused of the notion that he  has the potential, which he seems to be actualizing, to provide a great harm to the country including the environment the educational system the reasonable balance of expectations of a cross section of citizens and the general economy, not to mention foreign relations. I do take this seriously. But what I realized is I miss the daily humor provided by his relentless buffoonery. There is a tremendous entertainment value in watching him solemnly make banal and stupid statements as he pauses dramatically. It really is funny. In fact, our best hope may be that the general citizenry eventually dismisses him as a total phony clown, without too much rigorous analysis of the ridiculousness of his policies. It is hilarious as he signed his executive orders and hold them up, proudly displaying the fact that he can write his name in big letters. Each executive order is more fantastic, more incredible, more tremendous, more unbelievable than the last. I have this new fantasy that he is going to announce a new special presidential aid for superlatives. He will solemnly state that this new aid will only add to the tremendous accomplishments buy using more and better superlatives. I can just see him saying you'll be hearing more quintessential's and paradigmatic's and other truly tremendously unbelievably fantastic superlatives.

It has been clear and is becoming more clear that his extreme egocentric nature cannot cope with loss or disappointment. So, let's hope that he keeps getting whacked like he did this week and that more and more people make fun of him. He is a truly risible semi human being.
