Trump Acts For The Camera

-

Donald Trump does everything for the camera. He doesn't care about the feelings of families affected by his actions. He raised fists at his July shooting, to demonstrate his 'invincibility', but two men lost their lives. He gave a thumbs up sign at Arlington National Cemetery.

Donald Trump is Donald Trump, therefore he’s predictable. Expect the worst because he has the propensity to come up with original and destructive ideas: destructive as in loss of life and American public property, like the Capitol. Here are two examples.

Arlington National Cemetery (ANC) 26 August: Donald Trump visited the resting ground of soldiers that left the U.S. on their own two feet, and returned in a box draped with the American flag. Apparently, Trump’s handlers ‘pushed aside’ one of the workers trying to enforce the Cemetery’s rule of decorum, including no photos. Trump posted pics where he gave the camera a big smile and the thumbs up sign. That was Donald Trump paying homage to ‘losers’ as he once called soldiers that died for America.

13 July shooting in Pennsylvania: Donald Trump was shot during a rally in Butler Penn state. Two men died. The Secret Service shot and killed Thomas Cook, the alleged shooter so he cannot speak for himself. Donald Trump told the family not to speak to President Biden who called to offer his condolences. Corey Comperatore, a firefighter also died that day.

Donald Trump is in love with himself. That’s why he acts for the camera. People all over the world do not pose for pictures near the grave side. How much more at a cemetery for fallen American soldiers? Trump did, with his thumbs up.

Before the sadistic Arlington Cemetery campaign stunt, Trump brought Corey Comperatore’s fire fighter’s uniform to the RNC and kissed the helmet. All for the camera. Trump was shot on 13 July. The RNC was two days later. Comperatore’s family lost a husband and a father but, the man supposedly shot, did not have a stitch or little wound on his ear. “I took a bullet for democracy.” There are no medical records about Trump’s admission to Butler Memorial Hospital. All patients have them, not him.

Expect four more stunts before the 5 November presidential election.

Elections And Political Bullies

Forget democracy.   It should be called political bullying. We are watching it in the prelude to the Canadian election on the 19 th of October, 2015.   Americans have also started their political bullying for the looming presidential election next year. So many trees wasted on books about democracy.   Some countries have big budgets for invading other countries ‘ to defend democracy’ but it is seldom practised in campaigning for elections.   Calling opponents names and printing flyers attacking each other is behaviour that will not be tolerated in kindergarten, but it is all legal, in campaigning.   It is irritating and such a let-down to the whole notion of democracy.   Grown-up men and women behaving like Grade One kids. It is also misleading because many voters believe it is real hatred.   Don’t let that fool you.   These politicians play golf together, attend the same dinner parties, eat and drink at the same social events, share jokes and cut deals in parliament.   They

Comfort Food As Regret Food

Chicken curry. Comfort food is good for the soul, which usually bleeds in winter from icy roads, bad drivers that want to annihilate pedestrians, frozen fingers and toes that take a sabbatical.   What happened to my toes?   I thought I was wearing special socks for boots? We therefore have a right to comfort food which throws doctors’ orders out of the window and has no loyalty to calories.   No calculator on the table, thanks very much.   Piece of bread 5 calories, half a banana 10 calories, sugar-free cheesecake 2,000 calories.   Ah! Ah!  We only live once. Naw!   Comfort food is old school food with its compulsory second helping.   It involves licking fingers and giving a big sigh, about the good life, which is shelter, food, love and debt.   The problem is the zip.   The jeans remind you that comfort food can also be called you will regret food .   Home sweet home is even sweeter in winter after surviving blowing snow and bumper to bumper traffic. What is more welcoming th

No Air Miles

I don’t have Air Miles.   I’m considering putting that on a T-Shirt because I cannot go to the drugstore (chemist) or coffee shop without the cashier asking me if I have air miles. We waited for about two minutes the other day, while this guy looked for his Air Miles card in his overweight wallet.   For what?   For a few points. I don’t have air miles because Mathematics is a foreign language.   I was never good in numbers. That is why I squashed the idea of being an investment banker very early in life.   I understand you can invest in cornfields before the soil is turned up or pork bellies even before a baby pig is born. That is how I view air miles, investing in tomorrow or the unknown.   I’m the dumb one.   Some people understand this air miles’ thing so well, I overheard one customer saying: I can even convert my points into cash. Points and air miles are the same thing in Canada and the U.S.   Drugstores or clothing stores even give you a card to collect point
