I’ve never written a “diary” or a “blog”. This is my first, so I hope I don’t break any rules! I will start by saying that this is not a breaking news story and has no intrinsic (or extrinsic) value, other than a chance for me to publicly vent. The views/opinions I express here are mine alone. Well, I expect there may be thousands or even millions of other people who agree, but I speak for myself. So, here goes. The top 10 reasons Trump wanted to be President (in no particular order):
1) His over-inflated ego and underdeveloped brain.
2) To destroy Obama’s legacy and wipe his name from history. His “birther movement” did not succeed and he must know he will never be Obama’s equal or even come close. So, do what the Egyptians did and scratch his name out of the obelisks.
3) Put guns in the hands of people who have been clinically-diagnosed as mentally ill. OK, this may be unfair. I mean, since Trump already owns guns, why should his closest friends, associates & cohorts be denied?
4) Bomb whoever he wants, whenever he wants. For real, not just in his video games.
5) Watch TV & movies in bed, all day long. Well, when he is not out playing golf.
6) Get his good buddy Vlad to pay off his Russian bank loans and maybe help out when the noose gets too tight. (“Hey, buddy, I need some serious deflection here, I am really in the hot seat… Yes, Syria will work… Thanks a heap!”)
7) Get the middle-working class tax payers to pick up the expenses for his non-stop vacationing, helipad at Mar-A-Lago, his sons business trips, extra security at Trump Towers (so Melania doesn’t have to live with him and he is free to abuse any women in FL who meet his “beauty qualifications.”) Bonus: he also makes money on this; what a champ!
8) Do whatever he wants, say whatever he wants; because he can get away with it. And, he does, every time.
9) Take a selfie in the Oval Office. Will be on his Christmas cards to prove he is “presidential”.
10) Become king, tyrant, tzar, autocrat or fascist. Sorry, choose from the first 3; he is already an autocrat & fascist. Being “president” is step 1 in his grand design to rule America & the world. “Make the WORLD Great Again.” Of course, to do that, he has to destroy everything that was (or still is) great about America!
11) Keep telling us he is not a misogynist, racist, bigot. Maybe if he says it enough, we may start believing him.
12) Now, this really should be Number 1: To be the most followed “Twittler”in the world.
You are probably saying that was more than 10. You are so right; obviously I lied. OMG, I hope I have not contracted “acute trumpitis”. I’ve heard it is very contagious, but I have had no direct contact with any of the known afflicted. Maybe just suffering from a temporary case of “alternative facts”. I promise to drink plenty of liquids and get lots of rest (while tuned into TRMS on msnbc.) I don’t want to become just another bot in Trump’s “new era”.
Hey, if you actually read this, thanks a heap!!!
