MAGA

We have all read and seen the hostile reactions being exhibited by Trump haters. The Covington boys experience first-hand the kind of vitriol exhibited by the Black Israelites and a Native American drummer when they wore their MAGA hats on a field trip to Washington, DC. Over and over again our media reports of  physical attacks on Trump aides or supporters.  The person who attacked Kellyanne Conway at her birthday dinner in Maryland last year was just acquited of assault. (No, it wasn’t her husband.)

As a consequence, Trump supporters have been driven underground and are afraid of being discovered as Trumpers lest they lose their jobs, their friends or even family members. I have been fortunate in that few of these punishments have been visited on me. (A few people have “defriended” me on this blog.) However, maybe it is because I am too old for people to take me seriously.

One last thing, I have found a way of exhibiting my support for Trump when I am out in public. My daughter gave me one of those pink knitted hats for Christmas. I have polka-dotted it with Make America Great Again buttons ... so, when I wear this “pussy” hat, moonbats are reluctant to attack me because they seem confused as to my real allegiance.

Trump's Tweets

It has become quite commonplace to complain about President Trump's overuse of his Twitter account. His personal and government lawyers are apoplectic at the complications he is causing by his compulsion to share his raw opinions with the world. Even Kellyanne Conway's husband, George, has joined the chorus of complainers ... probably to her chagrin.

Personally I have had no problem with Trump's tweeting out his contempt for the mayor of London's squishy response to terrorism or his disagreements with the liberal courts'  decisions that thwart his efforts to protect this country ... or his many other jibes ...  most of which I agree with. And, I also believe, that much of his voting base feels the same. After all he does have (a disputed) 20 million Twitter followers. (I am not one.) I also believe that much of our nation's media secretly relishes these early morning 140 character messages as they make for easy copy or talking-head tsk-tsking.

Yes, this is unconventional, but our president is an unconventional man ... and he is unlikely to change at age 70 ... for he has great confidence in what his style has produced. And who am I to argue?

Mountainous Molehills

This is not really fake news (a term that the Hillary's posse probably regrets introducing), but it does suggest a silly-season approach to hit reporting on President Trump and his clan:

Nostradamus

New York Times columnist, Ross Douthat, has been taking a psychedelic and staring into his pool of mercury like Nostradamus and has written a column projecting what American life will be like four years hence. With Donald Trump just having been re-elected to another four year term ... easily defeating the Elizabeth Warren, Corey Booker duo ... his first term was filled with some successes and a few flops ... see: NY Times Op-Ed. In this opinion piece Douthat admits that two out of his three previous week's predictions (domestic economic collapse and a run-up to the Third World War) did not occur in Trumps first term ... but civil unrest still persisted.   Bowing to his editorial superiors, Douthat throws them a few bones ... calling Kellyanne Conway "Svengali" and dissing Sean Hannity.

Nevertheless, an interesting read.
