Perhaps you remember the scene in the movie the Wizard of Oz when the curtain was pulled back to reveal that the wizard was a fraud. We have been waiting for such a moment with respect to Donald Trump. There have been noises from beyond the curtain such as Tillerson and Mattis calling him an idiot or a moron and not retracting those statements. What we are waiting for is a noisy registration from a top administrator, preferably a Secretary stating that the reason for the resignation is that Trump is an incompetent, ignorant fool who will not listen to anyone and acts like a petulant child.
So far that hasn't happened but lately we came very close. I referred to the moment when national security adviser Dan Coats was being interviewed by Dana Bash and the news broke that Trump had invited Putin to come to the White House. Coats'reaction was priceless and telling, not only what he said but his body language and demeanor. First he displayed total surprise but then it was clear that his reaction was" What the hell will this buffoon do next." He said that the announcement and the disclosure was " really special." This to me demonstrated what those few top people in the administration who are remotely competent probably consider Trump a really bad joke. The loyalists were aghast and called for the firing of Dan Coats. Subsequently coats put out a statement that he meant no disrespect for Trump but it was pretty obvious how he really feels about Trump. I hope we are somewhat closer to the noisy resignation that strips Trump naked.
Meanwhile Trump continues to do his imitation of the Black Knight from Monty Python. As the evidence continues to mount that he is a liar a crook and a traitor he intellectually speaking lies on the ground dismembered claiming no one has laid a glove on him. Sarah Huckleberry is forced on a daily basis to claim that Black is white, Day as night and Trump is not a lying fool. One wonders what sort of price she will pay eventually for this. Maybe nothing.
