Some background: in 1974, I spent part of the summer in Québec, in a Laval University French program. Good program, by the way, I recommend it. One afternoon when I went into the common room, everyone was excited about something. When I asked why (en français, évidemment), someone pointed to a newspaper headline: “Nixon démissionne !” I hadn’t ever seen that word in French before, but its meaning was clear: Tricky Dicky had resigned. Finally.
Anyway, in my dream, I went out and saw huge newspaper headlines saying “Trump démissionne”.
Obviously, it’s a counterfactual dream: for one thing, I live in California, so what are the odds that the headlines would be in French?
Still, I can’t get it out of my head. Trump démissionne. Maybe it’ll come true. After all, it did with Nixon. Hopefully, this time it will happen much sooner.
