The Road of #47: Polite Dinner Conversation

Date line: 2/21/25: THE WHITE HOUSE

   Yesterday I wrote “The insulting, condescending bully has returned”when in fact he never left the arena. For ten years since he was first nominated as the GOP candidate for president, beating out sixteen other potential candidates, and for a few decades before, #47 has been a “news worthy” item, in fact many times controlling the news cycle. Besides being condescending and insulting, his words can endanger the safety of not only ourselves, citizens of the US, but other nations as well. 

   Usually speaking (posting) in the third person, all in caps, one wonders about how egotistical this person is. An example:"Think of it, a modestly successful comedian, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, talked the United States of America into spending $350 Billion Dollars, to go into a War that couldn't be won, that never had to start, but a War that he, without the U.S. and 'TRUMP,' will never be able to settle.”

   Braggadocio aside his approval rating in the first 30 days has taken a slight turn to the negative side, at less than 49% and dropping. Yet, I try to avoid polls because tomorrow never knows. Never the shy boy, our fearless leader in his attempt to consolidate power in to his own hands has issued 73 executive orders.Afterwards, he posted, "THREE GREAT WEEKS, PERHAPS THE BEST EVER.” Most (75%) folks believe that #47 is handling the presidency just as he stated he would on the campaign trail.

   Meanwhile, I ponder the thought that most of these DOGE cuts of staff and the “savings” of billions of dollars might be a Ponzi scheme to hide the impact of the reduced taxes on big businesses and of course #47’s favorite oligarchs, Musk, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg. Only time will tell.

   But I ask, as promised for DAY ONE…Price of eggs and gas would be drastically reduced, no tax on tips, no tax on Social Security, no tax on overtime…where is it????

Oh, Ye, gentle mistresses and most distinguished gentlemen, and others… The opinions and observations are solely my own views, and I take full responsibility for any errors of fact, not to mention any predictions that prove to be wildly inaccurate.
