After 9 years of opposing Trump I must have used this trite title for a post before. I learned the word in gradeschool or junior high playing hearts and later Euchre and Bridge in high school. Its so appropriate for Donald Trump because it involves naming one of the four suits of a card deck as “trump” which means during the game you can play them when you don’t have a card of the suit that was played in a round your trump card will outrank and take it. That sounds like a Trump business practice. Find financial backers who lock themselves into paying a debt like your parents when your parents agree to backing a student loan who then get tapped by a bank to pay it when you have a void in your bank account. Other people got dinged for Donald Trump’s bankruptcies. Which sounds a lot like what is about to happen to the Trump voters when the man they voted for crashes the economy he got elected to improve. His voters will be stuck with the lost jobs, the higher costs of living and the general disorder Trump leaves in his wake.
So This post is “Trumped.” If anyone reads my blog anymore they may have noticed that yesterday I began five blog posts some with a picture to go with it but no explanation other than I would be back in the afternoon to write them. Well, I Trumped myself. I don’t know if I’ll bother to finish any of them today as other things fill up the space in my mind.
Yesterday noon when I usually watch a short hour long history documentary with my wife I suggested we watch the movie “The Apprentice” on Netflix. Its lead actor who played the young Donald Trump was nominated for the best actor award at the Oscars. He was very good. Great efforts were made during the summer to make sure the movie version of Trump’s early business life would not be shown in the United States while Trump was campaigning let it unfairly tip the election against him. Knowing the Magaverse that wasn’t likely to happen. The movie took 120 minutes, two hours and cut into my blogging time. Then at 6 I went to an anti Trump Zoom meeting for an hour. Then I watched the Maga rally in the Congress during Trump’s lie fest. I have plenty else to talk about today.
A neighbor asked me if I wasn’t afraid to make fun of President Trump because he had so many crazy followers. Its true he does and lots of them have guns. However, like offended liberals there have been very few gun battles and even the kid who knicked Trump’s ear that Trump has told us was a sign God wanted him to save America apparently had Joe Biden on his list of people to shoot as well. Maybe God wanted to save Biden?
