Woke, liberal leftie, communist, intelligent, anti-racist, trans-loving, book reading people like me have been appalled by the current President of The United States of America since he first stepped across the threshold of The White House on January 17th 2017. When you think he simply cannot go any lower, he goes lower.
His crassness is now legendary and many of his diehard supporters accept it with knowing smiles. Last week, the BBC's North America correspondent interviewed typical Republican supporters in Iowa. One of them, the wife of a farmer, said "We knew he was no choirboy!" - as if to say, we can forgive him his human failings and moral stumbles as long as he is getting on with the job of being president.
I think the entire connected world knows about the tragedy that occurred in The Yorkshire Wildlife Park on October 10th. A young man with a long history of mental illness scaled two fences to enter the tigers' compound. And there, very sadly, he died. By the way, that young man had a name and family members who loved him. His name was William Chapman. He was twenty four years old.
There was some video footage of the incident. In their heartbreak, William's family asked people not to share that video. But what did the forty seventh American president do? Why, he shared that video on his self-congratulatory Truth Social website. The video was freshly captioned, "Don't mess with Nature!"
I found that new caption worthy of some extra head-shaking. After all, this is a nitwit who has burnt up countless gallons of aviation fuel just to fly down to his gaudy Florida mansion for long golfing weekends. Isn't that messing with Nature? And what about his "Drill Baby Drill!" mantra? What kind of attitude does that show towards Nature? The hypocrisy is breathtaking but of course perfectly in character.
A couple of days later, giving not a moment of thought to William Chapman's memory or his grieving loved ones, The President of Crassness posted an AI video of himself chasing a tiger and wrestling with it. Ha-ha! Very funny you unkind and tangerine felon!
It was disgusting but arguably not as disgusting as the way he has sided with Putin during his cruel war upon Ukraine, instead of backing Volodymyr Zelenskyy to the hilt. President Zelenskyy is a proper leader, and not a fake president like the one who currently lives at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW in Washington D.C..
Let's hope that American voters punish him severely in the mid-term elections. If you happen to be American and you are reading this post, please remember to do your bit for sanity, reason and a better future and simply VOTE! The world will be watching.

Just when you think he can't go lower, he does, but so do all of those around him. A bunch of spineless wimps.
ReplyDeleteWell said.
ReplyDeleteNeil, everyday I become more and more embarrassed to be an American. I will never understand in a million years why people still support him. I voted early on Sunday at the local polling station. I didn't mail my ballot in as I don't trust the post office. I drove there and put it in the box myself. I voted for Democrats up and down. I live in a Congressional district that is a toss up. I am a bit worried about the midterm elections as I am afraid that the felon and his cronies will find a way say that the election was rigged.
ReplyDeleteDon’t really know where to start on this one YP. Don’t forget “he tells it like it is” and he just says “what others are thinking” and we should “give him a chance”
ReplyDeleteWords fail me with this corrupt man - and he has thrown is support behind Netanyahu! And no my horror at what the Netanyahu government has done in Gaza does not mean I am not also appalled by what Hamas did on October 7th, I am capable of holding more than one thought.
Now he has turned his back on Zelenskyy and saying he shouldn’t be president and should make a compromise to end the war - aka give Putin what he wants and what on earth is this obsession with trans people. Can you remember his impromptu rant on trans people when Mark Carney was in the Oval Office. Carney showed class and said nothing.
PS I recently came across a book The Case for Trump by Victor Davis Hanson - looks interesting, so have added it to my TBR
ReplyDeleteVictor Davis Hanson voted for George W Bush in 2000 and 2004.
DeleteHe supported that other Donald, Rumsfeld - Bush's Secretary of Defence.
Thanks for the info.
DeleteYou're welcome, Traveller.

I watched this video nine years ago, trying to understand populism.
Fred Siegel passed away shortly after. His son's a historian.
THE BREAKING OF THE ENGLISH WORKING CLASS (Verso 2026)
by Jonas Patrick Marvin is a slim 175 pages by a researcher and
activist in Stoke-on-Trent, one of the poorest parts of England.
A useful summary of the 2008 global crash, Neoliberal economics, the
run-down of public services by David Cameron, Brexit, Silicon Valley,
rentier capitalism, why the disenfranchised turn to populist politicians.
If only there had been professional intervention on behalf of William.
ReplyDeleteOur mental health support system's at breaking point like to much else.
A video titled Don't Mess With Nature is as vile as it gets, even for the Donald.
I've always tried to refrain from name-calling and negativity online, but sometimes enough is enough. Donald Trump is an absolute POS! 💩 He's a malignant narcissist and I believe the claim he has frontotemporal dementia. I voted yesterday, for what it's worth, but my state (home of Tom Cotton and Sarah Huckabee Sanders) is so Red I seriously doubt anything will change here. I have a feeling if the midterms don't go like Trump wants them to all hell is going to break loose. I'd best stop before I get on a rant I can't turn off.
ReplyDeleteEarly voting started in South Carolina yesterday and the first-day turnout was double that of the last midterms. Our county polling places were overwhelmed with traffic jams, there were so many people! I'm (very cautiously) hopeful that the tide will turn. Gregg and I will be voting early later this week.
ReplyDeleteThe Orange Felon has always been a sociopath and criminal, but now he's showing signs of rapid cognitive decline due to dementia. I'm so sorry for William Chapman's friends and family. That the American president could post some shit like that (and get away with it) stills blows my mind. Hopefully it's almost the beginning of the end for him.
Trump is just a bottomless cesspool and he has proven that once again.
ReplyDeleteThe President-for-Now, the racist, rapist, pedophile, fascist, criminal, is a pig; always has been, always will be.
ReplyDeleteThe fat felon is just nasty. I have many names for him, none complimentary. I voted already and I'm trying to be optimistic. That is sad about William Chapman.
ReplyDeleteTrump has no sense of dignity what so ever. He has made no comment on the four troops we lost in a horrible accident. They were caught in a grassfire and burned. 47 others were injured.
ReplyDeleteI will join you in urging all Americans to VOTE BLUE!!
ReplyDeleteI'd not heard of that tragedy until reading your post, Neil. My intake of news (on TV or elsewhere) has been quite limited these past weeks because I was hardly home in the evenings, which is where and when most of my news watching takes places.
ReplyDeleteThe poor family and friends of poor William! As if losing him in such a terrible manner wasn't enough. Some people know no decency.
I hardly know what to say. The man is an abboration.
ReplyDeleteThe world is watching - you are so right!
ReplyDeleteJust as you think he can't go lower, he does.
ReplyDeleteI fear the mid-term elections will not see the obliteration so many desire. Unthinking people voted in the current administration and will continue to support it. I was convinced the Orange One would never be president, even the second time. I was wrong, like so many.
ReplyDeleteThe sooner that man is out of office the better. Bob used all the words to describe him but I bet there are plenty more.
ReplyDeleteLower and lower he goes, a complete twerp, a toe rag, a moron, devoid of any trace of human decency.
ReplyDeleteI voted Blue already and I'm hoping to see the end of this administration sooner rather than later. He has always been awful and disgusting and I'm horrified by those who empower him.
ReplyDeleteGlen and I plan on getting to Monticello where we can early vote by the end of this week.
ReplyDeleteJust when you think he can't get any lower...
