Midnight Meme Of The Day!

If there was any remaining doubt about the racist proclivities of Donald Trump and his mentally rancid party, that has now gone. With his recent flurry of despicable statements directed towards NFL (and NBA) athletes, Trump has firmly drawn his line of division, not in sand, but in cement.

Who says Trump has achieved nothing? In vehemently and repeatedly criticizing the very idea of protesting against the evil of racial bias, the "Great Racial Divider" has done something George Wallace and previous racist demagogues could never have done. Wallace was an anachronistic, fringe member of a Democratic Party that didn't fully embrace him. Wallace never got the endorsements. The leadership of his party found him to be an embarrassment, on a good day. Not so with Trump. He got the endorsements. The Republican Party embraced him and what he stands for. He got the nomination, the money, and the support. He won the presidency, and now, he has achieved something Wallace could have only dreamed about in his most drunken stupors. Trump has successfully merged the decades-old American Nazi movement with his party.

Trump's statements have bound his supporters to him. His statements have brought out feelings in them that they previously felt they should hide, resentment and all. They have rallied to his con, willingly, now more than ever. We are divided, firmly divided. Trump has used up his last little ounce of the moral authority that is supposed to come with being a president and seized on the ultimate wedge issue. The division in America is bigger than it has been since the 1960s, maybe soon the 1860s. Politically, this move of Trump's helps strengthen his chances of re-election, if he runs in 2020, by solidifying his political base within the Republican Party. Unfortunately, tragically, it divides America, greatly. You can forget about America being "Great Again" while Trump is around. What he has done in so strongly dividing the country is the opposite of any president's job, but, two presidents are very happy with this development. One is named Trump. The other is named Putin.

The compassion of Hannibal Lecter, the connection to reality (and nuclear weapons) of General Jack Ripper, and the competence of Lt. Frank Drebbin - that's our president.

Now if only Trump would follow Ripper's concluding act . . .
