It’d be funny if it wasn’t just oh, so scary! We have the most powerful man in the world flailing from one disaster to the next and I’ve got a sneaking suspicion that he might even win the next election. And he is so hateful and divisive. It’s like America chose the worst possible human they could find to be their leader. But he’s also the least capable at the same time. Just some bumbling unthinking buffoon let loose to cause mayhem. It’s easy to find his supporters though. They’re everywhere. They’ve even invaded this country with them popping up all over the place. Are they all seeing something that the rest of us can’t see? As I’m writing this he’s just threatened Iran, a week after cosying up to Russia and taking their side against his own country and then trying to roll it back by saying he meant to say ‘wouldn’t’ where he said ‘would’ which does nothing to contradict the rest of his speech after the Helsinki summit with Putin where he categorically denied any collusion despite what his own people are saying. And it goes on. Day after day. Another scandal. Another massive diplomatic insult to his allies. Another scarily enacted policy that divides people. It must be a dream. This can’t be real. Can it? As a race, we’re not this stupid are we? And then you go on social media where his supporters (or Russian bots, you decide) lay in wait to shout down anything that is against him as ‘fake news’ or a ‘witch hunt’. These people do not listen to reason or rational debate. Instead any differing opinion is simply dismissed as ‘snowflake talk from the loony left’ as if an insult to the person you are debating against means you win it despite the other person using facts and evidence. At this moment in time President Donald Trump could murder another human being on live television whilst shouting that he is the antichrist and he would get away with it. He is the single most dangerous human alive. And he even has the power to launch nuclear weapons. But don’t worry we can protest against him by using a crowdfunded Trump Baby blimp. That’ll stop him. (I would have preferred our own political leaders to stand up to him but obviously that would never happen as that would need backbone - a commodity in short supply these days.) And the world slowly loses its will to live with every passing day as hopes disappear into the aether. We’re through the looking glass people! Sleep well tonight.
