Nearly eight months in the only thing the entire world can be certain of is, Donald Trump loves chaos. In fact he considers it not just standard operating procedure, but a powerful political ally worth hundreds of thousands of votes among the rubes who despise Washington D.C. and the government for which it stands.
Proving once again the tweeter in chief has the intellect and emotional stability of a 14 year old boy, El Donald once again assailed the world with a storm of tweets yesterday morning. To be fair they weren't all his. Some were previously existing bizarre nonsense which he re-tweeted after careful late night research. You know, like the one showing a train plowing through a layer of snow while it's topped with a giant photo shopped, "Make America Great Again" cap. Never one for details when it comes to strident nationalism, Donald apparently didn't realize the train, in fact, belonged to the Canadian National Railway System and was rolling through one of their provinces. Perhaps, even, near the birthplace of Ted Cruz.
Another showed him hitting a tee shot which was so errant it slammed into Hillary Clinton, knocking her over. As we know, Secretary Clinton lost the election to The Big Orange Guy nearly a year ago. However, she is still loathed by his true believers almost as much as Barack H. Obama and remains a great go to villain when it comes to Don's fragile ego and leading cheers in sweaty halls located in places like rural West Virginia.
Various news outlets suggested these and other tweets were messages to those in his base. Many of them had become enraged after it looked like their man might back track on his anti-immigrant promises and make a deal on the issue with the globalist sonsofbitches in the democratic party.
Others, myself included, decided it was just Don Trump once again waking up then imbibing a weird and toxic combination of chocolate cake, a couple of toots of cocaine, and three, or four cans of Red Bull, chugged, not sipped.
Or, it could be, in the words of New York republican representative, Chris Collins, "He's just a fun guy."
In response to this madness, the republican mainstream, led by Senators Lindsey Graham, R-SC and Bill Cassidy, R-LA have decided, for what seems like the millionth time, to repeal the Affordable Care Act.
Their replacement bill is so horrific at first glance the American Heart Association, the American Diabetes Association, the March of Dimes, and the American Cancer Society have already declared they're against it. That's before the Congressional Budget Office has even looked at its ramifications.
On the other side, senator Rand Paul, R-KY says he's against it because not enough poor and sick people get fucked over. John McCain, R-AZ is reported to be wary, because it hasn't gone through republican controlled committees. Susan Collins, R-ME and Lisa Murkowski, R-AK haven't said one way or the other, but the Graham-Cassidy bill retains the same proposals which caused them to vote no the last time this experiment in abject cruelty hit the senate floor.
Meanwhile, last week, two of Trump's lawyers sat down to lunch at a popular Washington steak joint and got into a loud argument on how their guy should respond to the ever expanding Russian Investigation, headed by Robert Mueller. The two goofs, David McGahn II and Ty Cobb, didn't even take it inside, but rather sat down at a sidewalk table and proceeded to blab their differences in front of not only the wait staff and casual diners, but a NY Times reporter seated nearby.
Well that's the problem with relying on chaos isn't it? It not only leads to juvenile behavior, utter confusion, and social-political sadism, but also rank amateurism.
Indeed, that is what we are faced with now. Not only is Donald John Trump a crude and mentally defective buffoon, but he and his people are complete amateurs when it comes to politics and running the nation.
Of course, that's what the trailer park fascists who supported him wanted.
And tragically, it is what the rest of us got.
