I was reading this morning of King Donald’s massive
reduction in the USA’s
immigration quota, and particularly of his intention to give priority to white
South Africans. Sounds a bit racist, doesn’t it?
‘Oh no,’ says Donald, ‘it’s not racist at all. It’s because
white people in South Africa
are being persecuted and murdered in large numbers by nasty black people. I
have photographs to prove it.’
And then he smugly produces photographs of body bags stacked
up and awaiting disposal, and expects us to believe it. Meanwhile, Reuters points
out that the photographs didn’t come from South Africa; they came from the
Democratic Republic of Congo thousands of miles to the north. They have nothing
to do with South Africa.
The White House, apparently, declined to comment.
So I’m still a little confused as to why the majority of
American people voted to make Donald their President, but I have a theory.
(A Little Aside:
I think I know why Donald wants to take possession of Canada and Greenland.
Not satisfied with being merely King of the USA,
his ego craves the title Emperor of the Americas. He wants to be added to
that star-spangled list along with Peter the Great, Suleiman the Magnificent,
and Ming the Merciless. Donald the Dunderhead fits nicely. But I digress…)
The theory: We all know that the world is mostly ruled by
idiots, psychopaths, cheats, and liars, so Donald probably has the perfect
qualifications in the minds of the majority of Americans, he being able to tick
all four boxes with supreme confidence. And who can blame them? America is,
after all, still a fledgling culture. It didn’t live through the Middle Ages
and learn the error of its ways as most of the rest of the world did. Could
that explain it, I wonder.
(And I must just mention again that some of the finest
people I have ever known have been Americans, just not the majority.)
