“They saw their injured country's woe;
The flaming town, the wasted field;
Then rushed to meet the insulting foe;
They took the spear, - but left the shield.”

Long Live the Emperor Joshua A. Norton I AND His Successor, Donald J.Trump!
Much Madness is divinest Sense –– To a discerning Eye –– Much Sense ––- the starkest Madness –– ’Tis the Majority In this, as all, prevail –– Assent –– and you are sane –– Demur –– you’re straightway dangerous –– And handled with a Chain ––
Our president is a model of Courage, Tenacity, tremendous Strength of Character, and far-seeing Vision.
I wish it were possible for him to serve a shot) term as our King invested with absolute power.
I'd love to see what he could accomplish in six years unchallenged, untrammeled, unhobbled, unrestricted.
Withit the childish, irrespnsbe power-mad machnatiins of the Left –– and the utter fools we call RINO's on the Right –– I'm fairly certain President Trump could right the nation, and set it on a highly desirable, salubrious, productive course.
Such power, however, should NEVER be given to ANYONE for more than a few short years, because –– as we've always been told –– "Power Corrupts, and Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely."
Since our "elected represeantaives are worse than useless, return to a modified form of MONARCHY might very well be the best way to go –– for a short while at least.
Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by incompetence. Trump keeps catching controversy by word and deed because _________.
I'm guessing there's a small clinging residue of rationality within Trump that wishes he could go back to the 1980s and stop himself from snorting so much cocaine.

Not a genune quotatiin, but a reconstruction by a doubtless faulty memory. The gist, howeer, is presented correctly, I believe.
I don't beileve, however, that President Trump is either quixotic or in any way mad.
ReplyDeleteI think he may very well be THE sanest person in all of Washington, DC.
