Melania for Pres.

I rarely read anything about Donald Trump any more. Every time I do, the desire to strangle the guy becomes a little more elevated and that can’t be good for my nervous system.

The odd snippet does occasionally slip through the net, however, like Donald’s insistence that all Americans should be required to show an identity card when attempting the purchase of a can of baked beans or an ice cream. At such times I wonder whether Americans have any idea how Trump’s America appears to the rest of the world. Freaky is hardly the word. I’m also beginning to have the vaguest suspicion that he really does have a secret agenda to divide America until he has a strong enough base to admit his aspiration to become one of the world’s notable dictators. The great thing about being a dictator, of course, is that you don’t need brains, just attitude.

But it’s nice to see that Melania is still on the side of right (as opposed to The Right) and isn’t afraid to say so. Good on you, Mel, but what the hell are you doing there?

And so the future of the Nation Once Known as America is starting to pique my interest. How long will it be, I wonder, before:

1. Melania files for divorce. (About six months before the next election would probably be about right, Mel.)

2. Donald declares the Death of Democracy and the Second American Civil War begins (Maybe with an intelligent woman from Slovenia leading the bluecoats?)
