Trump is becoming more and more like Norma Desmond all the time. The world sees him one way, as a no-talent buffoon with big ideas. But he sees himself as an amazing leader and particularly an amazing peace maker. He craves nothing so much as the Nobel Peace Prize we are told, although that’s because Barack Obama has one and no other reason. Trump was busy in Scotland the past few days and he didn’t exactly raise his profile as a truthteller, let’s just say that much.

I’m ready to hear him burst out with, “I AM big! It’s the wars that have gotten small.” Mebbe Donald. Mebbe that’s exactly how it is and soon you’ll show us fire and fury such as the world has never known. Oh, he’s already used that line. Never mind.

Be careful, Grok, if Donald hears about this he’ll rip out your algorithm. Donald doesn’t like hyper technical terminology. Remember, we live in Wonderland, where the words mean what you want them to mean. If there’s a diplomatic chit chat about a war, to him that equals an end to the conflict altogether.

Trump was very hyperbolic while in Scotland. He even dragged his old TV show into the conversation, The Apprentice, which he informed the world was the “number one show on TV.” He also said Celebrity Apprentice was the number one show as well, to a room full of TV executives who laughed. “Well, that’s what I heard.”

And where might he have heard that? Probably in the locker room of his club, where he paid people to have conversations like that. You remember the club, it had the TIME Magazine cover of Trump that didn’t exist at that time prominently displayed.

I wonder how Keir Starmer managed to get through all this? I’m sure that when the man got into politics he never foresaw a day and age like the one he finds himself living in now. And this past week has just been the rehearsal. Starmer has to put up with this all over again on September 17 when Donald and Melania show up in London for an audience with King Charles and Camilla. And no I don’t know if Trump has been fitted for his tuxedo yet. You remember what a farce that was the last time.

  1. Ok America…the captain of the Titanic said that loud ripping sound is just that musty old paperwork…the constitution; the other sound is a hole being blown into the mighty ship. The captain said sit back, sip your coffee, he’s got EVERYTHING under control. He’s done solving little things like war, now he’ll have the climate fixed as soon as the oil companies drill baby drill. America…how does it feel to be #1 in absolute stupidity? WE’RE NUMBER ONE! WE’RE NUMBER ONE! WE’RE NUMBER ONE!

  2. In the past, including the quite recent past, the world at large may have liked or disliked an American president, but the presidency itself was greatly respected. No more. Trump and his Republican lickspittles have so denigrated that office that all respect is gone and will probably never be regained.
