Paul Krugman wrote a piece with this title in the N.Y. Times this week. Paul Krugman isn’t telling me anything I haven’t been writing for close to a year. Little Caligula is just such a fucked up human being at so many levels it boggles the mind how sixty million people thought this was the thing to do. Quite frankly, I thought Krugman was a little pedestrian in his comparison to be honest. Maybe this is a good time to revisit the Caligula history profile before Little Caligula goes rogue in Phoenix on Tuesday. It should be quite an event with the racial profiler Sheriff Joe seeking a pardon from Trump. Sheriff Joe should meld effortlessly with the running Nazi and KKK themes. And, of course, Arizona’s two senators, McCain and Flake, have been a thorn in Trump’s side when he’s not gouging himself with an ice pick in his own forehead. So no telling how much of vintage Caligula we see hurled towards the two Trump dissidents.
The Trump-Caligula comparison is much more in line than the absurd Trump-Teddy Roosevelt lineage which Mike Pence was trying to sell to Trump’s insipid base of dimwits, dimbulbs, and microwave conspiracy theorists.
Get with it, Trump zombies…a mind is a terrible thing to waste. Get with it. Come to the realization the presidency isn’t a reality show. It’s a very tough gig which requires smarts, maturity, boundless patience, and character.
And make no mistake about it, given the world we as Americans live in today any president would be engulfed daily with challenges faced every day. But it didn’t have to be this way. It really didn’t.
