Grading Caligula’s World Tour

Given that Caligula is our most unread, least polished, and the most obnoxious president in our country’s history–I’m going to be pragmatic about this and give a C- in that he didn’t start a war during the tour itself.

He loves the Saudis and they love him. They should be a match made in heaven in that they are both intolerable tyrants who don’t believe in our constitution and human rights. If Trump wants to get serious about Isis he may want to start with the Saudis. I didn’t see any of that.

Israel loves Trump simply because they hated Obama. No agreement of any kind will come of this. This isn’t the art of the deal. Not happening.

The Pope had already come to the conclusion discussing walls with Caligula will get him nowhere. So he tried a different tact and gave our ‘leader’ a letter on why America should remain the world leader in climate change.

Trump once again insulted the very leaders of nations who have the most in common with us. He pushed aside the prime minister of Montenegro in what is probably the most defining brand moment of our ugly American president.

So now Caligula comes home to Russiagate and it’s expected there will be a war room assembled to deal with what to date his entire presidency has been about to date…namely Caligula spinning his relationship with Russia and not handing over his tax returns. Maybe the ball caps he was peddling to his rally tour supporters during the campaign should have read Make Russia Great Again.

Me a plodding obscure blogger. What a great movie scene. If only Caligula had the style of Lee Marvin.
