I made the mistake of turning on the television Tuesday afternoon during Donald Trump’s unhinged press conference. It sounded like the greatest hits of his failed presidency – complaining about the pressure in showers and toilet bowls designed to save water and the danger of windmills. I switched it right off. Apparently I missed some newly malignant Trumpisms, including threatening to use military force to annex Greenland and take back the Panama Canal (it wasn’t clear if that threat extended to his plan to make Canada our 51st state) and a pledge to rename the Gulf of Mexico the “Gulf of America.”
No one forced him to turn on the TV. He just wanted to watch so he could feel outraged and then feel virtuous about he felt outraged.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, Democratic LA is burning to the ground because the hydrants are out of water. State has a long coastline and they're out of water. No outrage there.
