Dumb and Dumber
As I have observed in the past, it is possible to be entertained nearly every week by the antics of President Donald J Trump, though one’s amusement often changes to annoyance or even to disgust when the consequences of the behavior become clear. To be sure, it would be difficult to top the just surfaced account of February’s chickenhawk parade involving the Air Force One plane-switching in Ankara after a NATO meeting. It was unparalleled for its sheer me-first Trumpean disrespect for the poor bastards who are forced to travel with the president and endure the vicious prattle of America’s top golf cheater. When Trump’s Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt resigned several days later, possibly connected to her being set up by the president as one of the victims of a possible terrorist attack, Trump posted on his Truth Social site a picture of himself with the caption “The Best Press Secretary.” He was putting down Leavitt with an insult and nominating himself!
