Trumps Real Reality Show Begins

    Trump has blocked traditional press access normal for a President-elect.

    Trump has not responded to congratulations from foreign leaders, often cautious in nature, like Angela Merkels:

    “Germany and America are connected by values of democracy, freedom and respect for the law and the dignity of man, independent of origin, skin color, religion, gender, sexual orientation or political views,” she said in a statement, adding: “I offer the next President of the United States close cooperation on the basis of these values.”

    Trumps problem is a very serious one.

    Now that he has won the election he can't be Donald Trump anymore.

    He is 70 years old and he has never been anybody but Donald Trump. And there is no nicer, smarter or more respectable version of him.  

    Now as President elect, he can't insult people, races, religions, ethnicities, the disabled, other countries, leaders.

    He can't walk into rooms of nude women. He can't grab pussy. He can't brag about how he used to do it.

    Building a 2000 mile wall is easier said then done, if it ever is done. And it probably won't work anyway, but be a joke it would be so easy to cross.

    And he can't waste Mexican money on it because they won't give it.

    He can't attack Hillary in front of mobs of angry supporters. The mobs are gone and are awaiting results.

    He can't say everything is a disaster because in a short couple of months they will be his disasters.

    He can't call for his mob to attack the angry protesters, protesting him, across the country. Because if he doesn't deliver his mobs may join them. And there are more Constitutional rights than the one on owning guns.

    Donald's problem is that reality for him is now that he must be Presidential, a leader of the entire country.

    Dignified. The finest representative of America.

    And all he has is a coterie of right wing crazies to give him advice and guidance. They are as clueless as him.

    This is a reality show beyond any he has ever experienced.

    And we can't press a button on our remote to make it go away, and neither can he.

    Well said.

    The choices made that got him to this place have weakened the instruments of power that he will wield.

    The situation makes the Bush 2 team look like geniuses. They were not geniuses.


    Thanks good points. His choices like his vile personality are pure Donald. Not gonna change.


    Well, we have to join the Resistance. Seriously, there needs to be a movement, like the monkey wrench gang.


    So Trump has hearted Russia, our enemy, and put Germany on alert. What's next, German rearmament?


    I actually read an article today on that.  Germans are planning rearmament. A German minister though wondered, does Germany prepare to fight Russia, America or both?


    We're getting the old bands back together!

     


    We won't have the Red Army to get rid of our Hair Furor. Trump is planning Nuremberg like rallies of the faithful, hateful and delusional:

    His aides say he has also expressed interest in continuing to hold the large rallies that were a staple of his candidacy. He likes the instant gratification and adulation that the cheering crowds provide, and his aides are discussing how they might accommodate his demand.

    “I think Trump has discovered that these rallies are tremendous opportunities for him to get his message out,” said Christopher Ruddy, chief executive of Newsmax Media, a conservative website. “It’s actually sort of old-fashioned, that you want to actually meet people and press the flesh with him.”


    Is "Hair Furor" yours?

    I was thinking of something more modern, like 1984's 2 minute hate rituals.               We love you, Hair Brother....

     


    Can we permit ourselves a moment of ironic fantasy, at the idea that someday the Wehrmacht will make a final drive on Washington DC where Trump is bunkered and gone to batshit defcon extra special primo level 1, and after he immolates himself, the German general tears down posters of Patton an Macarthur which festoon the bunker and lead a terrified Kelly Anne Conway to safety, gently urging her to release slightly her disabling hold on him--"she's safe now..."


    Shot of the Furor bunker as artillery shells rattle the walls:

    Hair Furor leaning over the map board: "SS Propaganda Gauletier Bannon, send in the Air Conditioner Carrier Division to block the enemy, I know more than the Generals!"

    Gauletier Bannon: "Hair Furor, excuse me but the Air Conditioner Carrier Division was never organized, you didn't save their jobs and they went over changing sides"


    Sure, sure, you can make your funny little jokes now....but just wait till the inauguration  ball when Trump starts off his speech, "I want to thank the orchestra for this wonderful composition especially for Elsa (liebchin, he says turning towards the puzzled Melania) and me to begin the ball"  

     

    Whereupon begins the overture to Gotterdamarung

    Joke's on us.


    You don't think he's going to trade up? Pretty old model, and there's a lot of new blood to grab out there.


    The fact is only demagogues have rallies to feel good and incite mobs.

    Presidents appear or speak to unite the entire  nation behind them and their policies.

    Donald cannot be Donald and be President. He is unconsciously coming to that realization.

    The presidential run was purely a manifestation of a needy narcissistic personality.


    Bush blamed 9/11 and Iraq on Clinton. never underestimate the power of chutzpah and blatant lying that Trump does so well.


    Could even a rational mentally sound person maintain their sanity with the nutjob right wing loons and grifters around him? 

    For this Briebart/GOP bunch, their ideological convictions are as entrenched against objective reality as the Stalinists of the 30's purges. Whose devotion never faltered even as he ordered their execution.

    The target today being the planet itself, in service to their true base,  Wall Street,  corporations, and the everlasting survival and enrichment of the 1%


    Seriously well done, NCD.


    Thanks. Have to credit my wife for the thesis.

    She is my better half or 3/4 with understanding people (...often including myself, as now in my post-election depression!)
