Vice Pres. Mike Pence , or as he is known in the UK, half Penny, is visiting South Korea. He is there to warn the North Koreans that under pres. Donnie, there will be" no more nice guy." The Trump Brain trust has determined that the best way to deal with a paranoid totalitarian dictator is to threaten him with military action. This of course will allow him to continue justifying his abysmal treatment of the citizens of North Korea on the basis that North Korea must be prepared to defend itself. Pence is meeting with the acting president of South Korea, probably to give him condolences because if the US takes military action against North Korea, it is pretty much a cinch that Seoul will be bombed out of existence. Now, of course, for the US this is definitely a win win proposition. Not only will the US get to flex its military muscles, but a lot of those pesky South Korean companies like Samsung, Hyundai and the South Korean steel industry that have been maliciously taking American jobs will no longer exist.
Meanwhile, back at the White House it is Easter egg day. A new and exciting addition to the normal White House Easter festivities will be the first mad Hatter's tea party. It will feature not only Donnie but his secretaries of education , Commerce, EPA, housing and of course the redoubtable Jeff Sessions. Donnie is going to be the red Queen but he insists being White. And consistent with that message, there will only be White marshmallow bunnies, no brown chocolate ones. Melania gave a short speech at the beginning of the ceremonies. It is probably unfair to criticize her or comment on her as she came to this position totally unprepared by knowledge or experience, rather like her husband, but every time I hear her talk she reminds me of Natasha of Bullwinkle fame. I wonder if she is sad that Boris, AKA Steve Bannon is no longer around the White House as much.
