ot since Caligula returned from a campaign against the Ocean
bearing seashells as Neptune’s tribute have we seen such a fatuous spectacle. So
the Dopey Don has returned from North Korea empty-handed, fobbed off with
nothing but a promise that the North Koreans would see what they could do about
returning the dead bodies of American soldiers from a forgotten war, something
they should have done long ago without any U. S. sacrifices. In return the Fake
President has agreed to shut down training exercises with American regional
allies South Korea and Japan and to remove its nuclear weapons from the
peninsula—a major objective of the North Koreans. This is Making America Grovel
Abjectly with a vengeance.
As America shrugs off its leadership rôle along with all
pretense of greatness or exceptionalism the world wonders. Is the puppet
president dancing to rasPutin’s pipe, or is this what you really get when you
put Forrest Trump into a position of authority? Not that the two are mutually
exclusive, by any means; it could very well be both. I have mixed feelings
about the farce—because it is, let’s face it, amusing as hell to watch the most
powerful military power on earth shoot itself in the foot in what appears to be
a botched suicide attempt. On the other hand, as an American™ myself and an admirer
of its aspiration to greatness I can’t help but share in the humiliation the
Idiot-in-Chief has brought upon us all.
And I hear that our Puppet President has been summoned to meet
with the Puppet Master in the coming months, I assume to receive his new
dancing-orders. Better hope Russia doesn’t want to reverse Seward’s Folly—with the
Dopey Don’s negotiating ability, the U. S. could end up minus its forty-ninth
state.
