The Smile
The smile is disarming. We have lived with temper tantrums, theft (the boxes), the migrant kids, ripped from arms, and thrown in cages, the secret secret plans with Putin. The secret secret plans with Xi Jingping. The secret secret plans with Kim. Even his patriotic rout failed. His business failed. He gave big tax breaks to 5 rich guys. Not to me. And not to you. The lies. This is a man on his last legs. He burns people with toxicity. He thought he was ahead. But he keeps looking back through a time loop 1949. Most Americans have no idea what 1949 looks like. Your grandparents were the young people. Women did not work. They had babies and more babies, and today, they want even more babies who look just like them. If he doesn’t win, he will hold his breath and say bad things about Mommy. He holds enormous contempt for just about everyone. Daddy kept him out of the military. But he was on reality TV. Americans love reality TV because – they think it’s real. What’s real is that he coming for us. Why. Greed. All the usual. Who else from reality TV can we elevate to new nuclear code conduct of Give Me the Red Button or I’ll take it. He loves buttons because when you push the button, people arrive and things pop out. I taught this one to my three-year-old. He would laugh and go do whatever he wanted until he was hungry. He was three. We are all three. I’m working on my smile.
