You know what's funny? You don't need maintenance to escape a stalled escalator.
Funnier still when your own frontman stopped it in the first place.
When the clown car pulls into the U.N., you can expect all sorts of fun to ensue. Needing to be led off an escalator was just the beginning. Who'd think you'd need someone who's actually run a teleprompter before to handle that job. In an administration of outcasts, sellouts and outlaws, competence is not a preferred trait.
Which, in the long run, might not be a bad thing.
In the meantime, the Master Grifter served up a zesty word salad covered in Russian dressing to the assembly telling them their cities were going to hell but he could fix them with some properly developed beachfront properties. All they had to do was make proper investments in certain cryptocurrencies for his consideration. By the time his rant had sputtered out, a handful of monarchies and dictatorships were at the front of the line.
While DonJohn never read "How to Win Friends and Influence People" or probably any other book, he did pay a guy to write a book with a title he made up once. That makes him a literary icon.
And even if he wasn't the first choice to play the successful businessman on The Apprentice reality tv series, he'd been doing it his whole life. Pretending to be a successful businessman that is. He revolutionized television, just ask him.
It's not hard to look successful when you inherited a half a billion dollars. People who don't know any better think you earned it. The truth is nobody who inherited a half billion dollars ever earned a cent in their life.
But you know what they say, it's easier for a camel to fit through the eye of a needle than for a poor person to get into heaven.
Wait. That's not how it goes. What happened?
You've got to keep up. Joel Osteen changed it for the Trump signature Bible. You dont think they're going to soil those streets of gold with your dirty feet do you?
You probably think Jesus loves all the little children. Only until they're born, after that just the white ones. Republican Jesus ain't no woke fool! You better burn that old family book and get yourself the new King Don Edition (signed only $119.99).
There's nothing funny about that, but there's really nothing funny about a lifelong con being elected to lead what was once the greatest country on the planet. He and his toadies will continue the massive wealth transfer from the have-nots to the haves while eroding individual rights in favor of the corporation and using the justice department to go after his enemies as long as congress and the courts let him.
His party will continue to enable him to do whatever he pleases. That's because his party stands for nothing except what he stands for. All he stands for is himself.
Without guidance, he'd still be standing on that stalled escalator.
