It’s been a big week for Donald Trump. After getting virtually nothing done in his presidency to date, he made a wise political decision allowing his generals to start dropping bombs at various locales. First, he closed down a Syrian airfield for almost twenty-four hours, then followed that with the Mother of All Bombs somewhere near the Afghanistan – Pakistan border. Now, of course, the whole world watches as Trump and the fat kid from North Korea exchange twitter blows. If ever there was an illustration of how far American culture has dropped since the Cuban Missile Crisis this would be that learning moment.
The other day, Joe Scarborough actually compared Trump to Reagan and FDR. I have to say, after almost passing out from laughter, again the thought struck me how dumb America has become. Donald Trump is not FDR, TR, Lincoln, Reagan or even James Polk. He’s George Constanza. The only difference is Trump’s father left him millions allowing Trump to make enough money to lease a new trophy wife every fifteen years or so and put his name on some buildings. And maybe the hair. George is bald, Trump wears the dead rat on his head. Otherwise– these guys are twins. Identical. From Queens and everything.
I make my case… President George Costanza.
