This was not a Republican Convention per se because that party no longer exists. The party which gave us Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Eisenhower, Ford, Reagan, Bush 41, Bush 43, and even Bob Dole, John McCain and Mitt Romney went poof and is gone.
This didn’t have the feel of Cleveland four years go either because so many of those Trump henchmen like Michael Flynn, Paul Manafort, George Papadopolous, Rick Gates, Michael Cohen, and Roger Stone are either in prison, being released from prison, or being reassigned to some other federal program where they can’t assault the constitution of the United States for the time being.
I’ve always maintained the Trump presidency closely resembles the storylines of Tarentino’s Reservoir Dogs. Still do. It’s more about a group of mini-mafia wannabees than the government of a first world country.
Melania Trump was very green tonight and she should be given credit for not reading a Michelle Obama speech at this mini-mafia gathering earlier in the week. She can now get back to protecting the world from the menace of internet bullying and riding her Peleton. Sigh.
I thought Mark Meadows missed a great opportunity by not having Russian prostitutes pee on members of the Falwell family to galvanize the Christian evangelical vote…but Trump has that locked anyway I guess. But still.
That’s pretty much it for me on what transpired at the White House this week in lieu of a Republican National Convention.
