We all know that Trump’s call to ‘Make America Great Again.’ is a dog whistle shout out to make America what it once, was when it was White-ruled, and non-whites knew their place or else. Some argue that it meant a revival to the days of, let’s call it a “misconception,” ruled the land, when people believed that, and could be heard shouting at stadiums and elsewhere, that “America’s Number 1” or chanting “USA. USA, USA,” with index fingers pointing to the sky. That must have felt just great, until the sad truth was discovered that America was simply not Number 1. Not by slingshot. Not in math, science, reading, education, health care, longevity, well being, happiness, job security, vacation time, maternity leave, sick leave, and a list so long that finding a ranking where the USA is number 1 takes great effort.
So, is Donald Trump going to be the President to make America #1? Can a man who is definitely inept, unstable, unfit, revengeful, with horrible anger management problems, who lacks an iota of judgment, insight, and foresight, and lacks a modicum of empathy, compassion, sympathy for human or the political and skills to carry out the duties and responsibilities of President of the United States of America take care of the general welfare of its 325,000,000 people do the work necessary make America #1?
Well…. Uh……..NO he part of the problem …… and……well …..Uh……sh*t……..and he is Not part of the solution. The amount of bullsh*t we have and will waste in time, money, personal angst and so on finally puts us #1 again. Yea, we are #1 in BULLSH*T. Everybody stick that middle finger in the air and celebrate our greatness.
PS: Thanks Marty, good post.
Just remember, it appears the slogan was invented by Clinton in his first run. Presidential politics is far from about rigorous representation of truth, and more about kindling discontent of likely voters. It sure all seems true to them.
Great stuff. America is going to bring down the greatest civilisation in the universe, for what, a profit, YES, and a Zionist prophesy, YES,.. Once Were Great.
