9½ Weeks

Trump's last State of the Union was 99 min. Yesterday's was threatening to weigh in at 9½ Weeks. Hitler and Mussolini also were known to give exceptionally long speeches. Haranguing is really the form. Why when you know tedium makes people angry? Answer, when oratory crosses a certain line it transforms from informational to medicinal. MAGA is a cult based upon irrational adoration, under the theory of The Second Coming. Yes Christ is now a portly figure who sports the hairdo of one of those used car salesman on Northern Boulevard. Trump is a real Queens man. All he needs is the white patent leather shoes with the faux gold bunion and a 70s double knit disco suit and he’ll be at home in the beloved outer borough which will always treat him like Ofysseus. It’s hard to think of Melania as a Penelope since she’s undoubtedly too busy with her staff of beauticians to attend to her McDonald’s quaffing warrior. For a proto fascist the whole idea of speech giving is incite not insight—will the midterms be another January 6 with DJT Big Mac in hand declaring a state of emergency and martial law when the house and even senate turn color.
