I’m sure I wasn’t dreaming when I saw the picture, but I
don’t remember where it was. I’m sure it must have been either on the BBC news
website or YouTube. (Standards of BBC journalism have dropped so much over the
past few years that there’s not much to choose between them these days. The BBC
is still a little way ahead because the standard of YouTube has also declined,
but for how much longer now there’s serious talk about scrapping the licence
fee?) Anyway, back to the picture…
It showed a group of Americans, mostly elderly with some wearing red baseball caps, gathered around their Messiah and apparently in a state of rapture. One of them was carrying a placard which read:
Thank you GOD
For giving us
Donald Trump
‘GOD’ was in red, to match the baseball caps I assume.
And still I’m sure I wasn’t dreaming, however surreal it appears in retrospect. It even made me laugh, which very few things do. If I might paraphrase a long-running advertising slogan used by one of the UK’s internet and phone providers:
The future’s bright. The future’s MAGA.
Or should that be something else beginning with M, like Mad, Maleficent, or Malodorous?
