Perhaps I have been too hard on the corporate media. Perhaps it isn’t that the media has been too lenient on King Donald the turd. But perhaps, that the media has been too overwhelmed by the bad news and can’t fit it all into the daily digest. The poor Europeans have been stunned by the houseguest from hell. The King of England says, “I’m busy! Don’t bring him around here.”
King Donald rants about whatever random thought crosses his mind. Bovates and brags while the poor Europeans sit helplessly, unable to escape from the mind of madness. The EU president sat stunned in her chair as Donald bragged about his golf course while forcing her to accept a 15% tariff, which in the end will only hurt the US consumers worse than the Europeans. Have you noticed all the car ads on television lately? 1.9% interest and zero percent interest, plus cash back. You can thank King Donald the turd for that. The automotive industry is in full panic mode.
How can the media possibly squeeze all that in between offending the Europeans and the Epstein scandal? The Houthis have declared the Red Sea closed and are engaged in piracy on the high seas. After Donald got mad and walked away. 71% of Canadians say they plan on buying fewer US goods. Air Canada has reduced the number of flights to the US because they are not needed. Depending on who you ask, Canadian tourism to the US is down 30 to 70% of a $12.5 billion dollar industry. Disney attendance is nearing Covid lows as foreign tourists stay away.
How can the media possibly fit in all of this bad news? Taco Bell, Jack-in-the-Box and IHOP are all offering special priced meals. Because? Why do businesses do that if they aren’t witnessing a decline in sales? European governments have issued travel warnings to their citizens about visiting the US. Epstein aside, the picture ahead for the US economy looks rough. The number of self-employed workers is down by 60,000 year over year. Why would you expect that is? Transportation jobs are down by 6,000. How can the media possibly cover all this bad news?
King Donald strong armed the Europeans into promising to invest $600 billion in the US economy. Despite having no authority to do so. It isn’t the Soviet Union or China. The Government can’t order private businesses to invest in the US. With the current picture as it appears, would you invest in the US economy? Just a typical shag and brag Trump pronouncement. Look at this totally unenforceable deal I just worked out! The biggest deal ever! The biggest deal in the history of the world maybe! And maybe even the universe! If you think he’s bad at home, you should see him on the road. How do fight jet lag? Amphetamines. What makes people talkative and unable to shut up?
Not since the Norman invasion of 1066 have the Britons been so frightened. Maybe frightened is the wrong word, perhaps maybe appalled is better applied. And the craziest part is King Donald doesn’t see it. He’s oblivious to the horror show and wonders, “What’s everybody looking at?” And with the passing of Ozzy all I could think of was Crazy Train. “We’re going off the rails on a crazy train!” World events spinning out of control because the little bird no longer comes out of the President’s Coo, Coo clock at the top of the hour. He’s detached from reality, and what’s worse, he’s not coming back.
A Washington Post poll found 64% were very interested or somewhat interested in Jeffery Epstein. Just like Dick Nixon, the poll numbers are all running in one direction and the numbers are beginning to set up like concrete. Every day, it continues, the harder, if not impossible, it becomes for him to overcome it. He might be there already. And the public won’t believe him, no matter what information King Donald releases. He becomes a lame duck president and becomes the most unpopular president in recorded history, headed into the midterm elections. He’s tried dodging it. He’s tried running away from it, but cannot escape it. And the whole world is about to suffer for it. A weak and shattered president means bad news.
From a high of $5.12 per bushel at the beginning of the King’s term. Corn Futures closed yesterday at $3.93 per bushel. A more than 21% decline because the people who buy corn for industry fear what is coming. Home sales are down, and prices are beginning to fall. Mortgage applications are down in some places by double digits. Stop me, if you’ve heard this story before.
The mad king is oblivious as his sad little Zeppelin circles overhead unaware. Whatever happened to the gifted, grifted Air Force one? Boy, those were the days, huh? Back when the King just had this one little scandal. Now dwarfed by this huge scandal. And he can’t shut up about it. Still believing he can talk his way out of it without realizing, he’s only digging himself in deeper.
A rubber stamp Republican congress frightened like children hiding in a thunderstorm. Too frightened to do anything. Like open hearings or hire a special prosecutor. Instead, they grow quiet with nothing to say. Wall Street, that convention of the clueless clods , cheers the King’s trade deal. Yeah! He’s taxed us again! Hooray! A wounded and possibly fatal presidency. A floundering economy with falling home prices and farm prices. New car sales plummeting down 2.5 million units and still falling.
And the King says, “I think this is the greatest golf course in the whole world. And I’m not saying that just because I own it!” Not since the days of George the third has Europe seen such a mad king in their midst. But they are the lucky ones, he is going home soon. The most massive display of narcissistic insanity ever shown to the public. And how can the media cover it all with only 24 hours in a day? Headline: The King Shows His Ass to the Entire World!
“Unnatural deeds
Do breed unnatural troubles: infected minds
To their deaf pillows will discharge their secrets.”
