FLY ON THE WALL

     We often say that we wish we could have been a fly on the wall so as to hear what went on in a room or conversation. Well, imagine if we were that fly in on conversations with Donald. What we would have heard and learned or confirmed, is that Trump is definitely amongst the top ten idiots of the world. He is truly ignorant, does not know much of anything and does not even remember what he has said not days or even hours ago.
     Open your fly eyes and read and hear the interview with The Economist and hear him ramble all over the place and worse, hear his appointee Mnuchin, try to pull his nuts out of the fire as he forgets that he always says his taxes are being audited as his fake reason for not releasing.
     Hear how now only hours after firing Comey - for what - he is confused. Lest he uncover Trump's treasonous behavior with the Russians? Now he states that he fired him because he had been thinking about it all this long while even as his aides try to remind him that he had said otherwise. , "Oh, I was going to fire regardless of recommendation..." This, despite all the words he has said and the actions he has taken and the efforts of his aides to get things straight.
     Time and again we have conflict of interest statements, statements that make no sense. Try to make sense of his statements re NAFTA and Mexico and Canada. Try to make sense of what he speaks re the Chinese and manipulation of money. It all makes no sense.
     Just imagine him figuring out what to say to a possible new FBI head.
Trump: Did you vote for me? Did you know I won Michigan?
Candidate: Uh, it is a secret ballot and yes, I knew.
Trump: How am I to trust you if you did not vote for me? Will you give me briefings in secret?
Candidate: I am sorry but that is not allowed. This must be an independent investigation.
Trump: Will you hide evidence that is critical of me and my campaign?
Candidate: No, sir, Mr. President. I cannot and will not.
Trump: Please leave, as you are unqualified.
     Soon there will be ads in the paper, perhaps on Craig's List, for people willing to be a companion to a man with somewhat violent tendencies who shouts a lot, particularly at TV screens and at people who disagree with him, especially in early morning hours. Must love junk food and have hairstylist skills for strange hairdo.
     The scary thing is, that this man is President. It is a far cry from the man who was President who lived in the White House according to his daughter as sung in the early 60's. It is a far cry from the intelligent person we expect to be sitting there, one we can trust has knowledge and knows his responsibilities towards the people of the country. Even if one disagreed, at least the country came before Party, if push came to shove but now, it is different. Either he is a moron, totally incapable of an intelligent thought of more than two words or the man is unable to control his staff or his staff him, and/or the man is treasonous, conniving and criminal in both civil and criminal issues. In any case, this man has a following consisting of Republican Party blind loyalists who think that finally, they will get their plans through and never mind that the ruler has gone insane, mad in every sense of the word - like George III who had to be watched over and decisions made by his son. But we did not elect his appointees, his ethically challenged critters of the swamp. Trump, unfortunately, was elected and if he cannot do the job, well, Amendment 25 is there to be used. It only takes a man with courage and conviction to call it out but where oh where shall we find someone like that amongst the administration and the Republican Party. Where indeed. Nowhere!
     I write this on Thursday late day but do not close it because I need to see what else this man will perpetrate on us, the people of the country. Sad situation. Bad situation. Amazingly, bigly sad.
     So here we are in the morning and more people have called out on the fact that Trump is like a 6 year old - at least I gave him the age of an adolescent! He has storms of tantrums and needs the adulation of others in a constant feed, not as a six year old, but as an infant who needs the constant input of clapping and cheering parents and family.
     So....latest little tidbits to share with you, my readers. The FBI is talking of 'war' against Trump. Lovely!! But understandable. Drilling on the pipeline was halted as there was a disastrous spill into wetlands. Hmmm. Thought we were assured that would not happen. Uh huh!! Then we have a wonderful humane Republican lawmaker from  Oklahoma who knows how to save money - just arrest all those kids in school who speak Spanish, drag them into detention and then check their status and that of their parents and arrest and deport, thus saving money on education!! And in the meanwhile we have Russian jets flying within 20 feet!!!! of a Navy plane. Such is what we get from our eavesdropping interfering best buds of Trump. Just perfect!!
     Finally, to close, Trump has been having little fits about Colbert and his show so here is the latest. Please note the wonderful sentence construction and the mature thoughts and feelings expressed by our leader. "You see a no-talent guy like Colbert. There’s nothing funny about what he says. And what he says is filthy,” Trump told Time magazine. “And you have kids watching. And it only builds up my base. It only helps me, people like him.”
Trump also took credit for Colbert’s newly-improved ratings: “The guy was dying. By the way they were going to take him off television, then he started attacking me and he started doing better. But his show was dying. I’ve done his show. … But when I did his show, which by the way was very highly rated. It was high — highest rating. The highest rating he’s ever had.”
     Guess we now know what is important - TV ratings, name calling, hurt pride and a very thin skin with an overlay of idiocy.
     Colbert's response?
"Colbert then broke into a gleeful, maniacal cackle. “Yayyyy!” he exclaimed, rubbing his hands together, looking genuinely grateful as the audience chanted “Steph-en! Steph-en! Steph-en!”
“Mr. Trump, Mr. Trump,” Colbert said, composing himself as the crowd noise died down. “There’s a lot you don’t understand. But I never thought one of those things would be show business. Don’t you know I’ve been trying for a year to get you to say my name?! And you were very restrained. Admirably restrained.”
“But now you did it!” Colbert said triumphantly. “I won.”     Would be hilarious, if the chuckles would laugh more than a minute and if the situation were not so dangerous for us and the world as this man, this Trump, this infant in a man's body, plays at being president - but it is not a game nor a reality show, but actual reality with the world at stake. Life as a fly - not so much fun.
