OBSERVATIONS ABOUT DONALD J. TRUMP – 45TH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. (Part 2)

I know very little about Donald Trump personally. Most of what I know about him is derived from personal observation of him during his public appearances as reported on television news and biographical information and reports in the press.

Donald Trump was born in 1946. His father Fred Trump was a business man involved in real estate. It has been reported that upon his death, Donald Trump inherited a substantial amount of money which he has managed to parlay into several billion dollars over the years. Reports say that he managed to achieve this by surrounding himself with savvy people as well as through legal maneuvers which allowed him to declare and file for bankruptcy as the expense of his lawful creditors.

Donald Trump considers himself a shrewd, even smart business man, able to reach deals through negotiation. However, not many people have stepped forward to endorse that idea. And somewhat expectedly has not overwhelmingly demonstrated this skill during his first 126 days in office.

Coming to his campaign for election, one almost gets the impression that he was talked into announcing his candidacy for the office of POTUS. If that supposition were true, then the next obvious question one would ask oneself is this: who were the people and what were their motives for pushing his nomination forward?

And, while we ponder that last question, let us look at some of the people he has appointed to key positions and at the same time look at the people jockeying for prominence in the White House.

The most remarkable point of course is that not one of his appointees have any real experience either in government, diplomacy or foreign affairs from a political standpoint. And sadly while claiming that he was going to “drain the swamp” he had no real understanding about how the senate and the Congress and Washington DC for that matter, works His disdain for the career government staff reinforces the notion that he is both ignorant and that his underlying trait is that of a controlling person.  Donald Trump seems to be under the impression that as president, he now gets to call the shots. Perhaps it’s time for someone, a friend who cares for him and for our country, to take him behind the woodshed for a “Come to Jesus” talk.

Observations about Donald Trump (Pt.1)

OBSERVATIONS ABOUT DONALD J. TRUMP – 45TH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. (Part 1)

This journal was started on May 26th, 2017 at the suggestion of Joseph Aronesty who was a former classmate of Donald Trump at Wharton College. I will write more about Joseph Aronesty in due course.

At the outset, I need to clarify that I am not a politician nor do I have a degree in political science. I am not a psychologist or a psychiatrist. I am not a millionaire. What I am is a citizen of the United States of America, a tax-payer and a voter, holding views concerning the Constitution.  Some of the views I hold are simply that or, for want of a better word they are opinions and in some cases surmisal and or deductions.

As of today, 205 days have passed since Donald J. Trump was declared the winner of the 2016 presidential election and 126 days since his inauguration as the 45th president of the United States of America.

This journal is about observations. It is not intended to reach any conclusions about subsequent events either during or after the election with regard to validity or legitimacy of his appointment but rather to query the bizarre manner in which Donald Trump conducted his campaign and his conduct since the election.

Donald Trump presents himself as a very strange person. His personality has no appeal to me and therefore I will say that from the very outset I did and still do not like him.

I think that what I found to be unappealing were his facial expressions when speaking, his hand gestures and simply the sound and tone of his voice. His manner of speaking usually with terms of hyperbole were weird. Who for example would describe the results of his plan to reform taxes as being beautiful and something that everyone would love.

The most difficult parts of his self-presentation for me however were simply some of the ideas he had and his rationale for promoting them. One quickly got the impression that he does not know what he does not know. In other words, he floated ideas without really knowing much about the subject at hand. A good example is the Affordable Care Act; referred to by the derogatory term Obamacare. When it failed to get support in Congress he asked – Healthcare is complicated, who knew? We’ll come back to this in due course. His constant use of hyperbole in his speech, referring to someone he had just met as a good man with whom I have a good relationship to beautiful health plans and horrible events all display a remarkable air of insincerity.

I will try to write more daily about my observations.

SwampKing Fool

SWAMPKING FOOL

 

 

SwampKing Donald is a juvenile fool

And a narcissist fool is he

He called or the mole and he upped his hype

And he called for his liars three

 

Conway, Spicer and Mr. Page

All responded to the call

They told him Donald now get ready

You’re headed for a fall.

 

Said swampking Donald all I really want to know

Who is leaking all the stuff?

Don’t they understand that to tell the truth?

Simply makes the going tough.

 

I know eleven million is a huge weekly expense

But I don’t make the deals, blame it on Mike Pence.

The Secret Service loves me I think they are fine

But I am the POTUS so I don’t need to toe the line

 

I do not like Camp David it’s not my idea of fun

I prefer my Mar a Lago in the Florida Sun.

Without my weekly dose of sun I have to use the spray

The bottle says it’s Coppertone But it’s orange they all say.

 

Swampking Donald’s job is tough something he had not reckoned

The GOP is party first, the country comes in second

His plan to make America great again has no place at all

The principle will lie buried beneath his shameful wall.

 

Swampking Donald is very proud to be the Armed Forces C-in-C

But a rightwing Bannon puppet is all that he will be.

David Horowitz is his mentor, a huge amount of work

Especially when mentoring someone who is berserk

 

Mad as a hatter and a schoolyard bully to boot

To hell with tact and protocol he doesn’t give a hoot

What led to all his madness nothing has been said

Maybe his mother dropped him as a baby on his head

 

Some Northern states have lakes

Complete with native Loons

Swampking Donald’s asylum

Is staffed with hapless goons

 

Enough, enough I’ve had my say

I’ll put my pencil down

And think about tomorrow

And what I’ll write about this clown.

The Press Conference

 

THE PRESS CONFERENCE

 

 On Thursday Trumpty met with the press

His erratic ramblings however, a mess.

His White House he claims is a fine tuned machine

He’s been drinking his bathwater or else in a dream.

Trumpty is mad, as in insane

His remarks and his lies incredibly inane

And day after day his so-called facts they get more wrong

His nose if you’ve noticed, increasingly long

Soon it will be a Trump Tower on his face

A tower going sideways and quite out of place.

Trumpty’s a fumbler, doesn’t know what he doing

He should go to his window and hear them all booing. 

 

His public attempts at being sincere

Are so patently false and it is unclear

Exactly what he hopes to achieve

Maybe a rabbit from out of his sleeve

A look at some he wants on his cabinet staff

Their qualifications make us all laugh. 

 

What a bellicose fellow he turns out to be

Talk about blowing up Russian ships out at sea

He thinks like a bully and that thinking is poor

Maybe he wants to take us to war.

And what’s with his meeting at his seaside resort

He’ll complain if the press makes a report 

 

Claiming it’s just news that is fake

He’ll say all he was doing, was eating a steak.

With his new found friend all the way from the East

Sharing a meal at a movable feast.

As for questions it seems he picks and he chooses

But none of them about hot Russian Floozies. 

 

He does not wait till the question’s been asked

But starts to answer too soon and too fast.

It’s rude of him to say the least

Perhaps he’s in hurry to return to his feast

 

The White House it seems has become quite a bore

He prefers his play-pen on the Florida shore.

Pity it’s not at a Marine World park

Where there he could be eaten by a terrorist shark.
