In the past we’ve had many deeply flawed leaders whose flaws were mitigated and often surpassed by their strengths. History is littered with their stories. tRump is not one of them.
In tRump, we have a person whose flaws have flaws. There are no mitigating factors. There’s no saving grace. There’s no legitimate earthly reason this bumbling bucket of bile should ever have come within miles of the White House. His enablers and supporters have a lot to answer for.
Now tRump has decided, probably based on the opinion of the last person he talked to, that he is perfect for the role of protest vigilante. He has convinced himself that by violently suppressing constitutionally protected protest he is fulfilling he wishes of the nation. He is not a healer. He is an agent of chaos and destruction. Thank goodness, he’s not very good at that either.
Over the last three and a half years he has demonstrated quite a few other things he is not.
- He is not a leader, except in the twisted corridors of his diseased mind.
- He is not a great or good or passable negotiator. Just ask Vlad.
- He is not a reasonable person (according to a multitude of leaks from his toadies and sickophants).
- He is not a doctor, unless sticking a UV light up your ass is part of the curriculum at Johns Hopkins.
- He is not a scientist, regardless of all those good genes he got from his uncle
- He is not a listener, as reported by George Floyd’s brother and anyone else who has ever talked to him.
- He is not a problem solver. This is self evident.
- He is not a good parent or husband. Look at his kids and wives.
- He is not even a Christian, unless the whole Prosperity cult have subverted the whole faith and not just its name.
- He is not an honest man — 19,000+ plus lies and counting
- He is not competent. This is also self evident.
- He is not coherent. Have you ever listened to him talk?
- He is not sane. Thousands of psychologists have told us so.
- He is not caring, considerate or compassionate. Yet another self evident statement.
- He is not to be trusted or counted on. All those credible news reports paint as a very crooked character.
- He is not anything but a damn fool. It’s a consensus.
- He is not worth a barrel of warm spit. Warm spit has suggested he’s not worth a thimble full.
What he is, is the result of 60 years of devolution from an Eisenhower republican into a tRump faux populist wannabe dictator. He is a wobbly sack of suet with tiny hands and a growing reputation as the Bunker Boy of ill-repute. He is also pathetic and dangerous and the reason to GOTMFV this year.
Up the Resistance!
[Editior’s Note] This is the 200th Evening Shade written by yours truly. I’m a bit surprised I’m still going and quite proud to have hit 200.
Memaliciousness
Cut and paste department. This is the regularly scheduled plea for readers. I’ve only had to make two memes so far. You have it within your power to make me work. If you spread the word about Evening Shade and your spreadee announces themselves in the comments, you will become eligible to receive your very, very special noprize of a meme of your very own. All you have to do is jump up and get out there and start carnival barking, cajoling, proselytizing (or pimping, if you are of an irreligious bent). You could even pester and push. Procrastination is not an option — it’s a way of life.
