Ann Coulter referenced Hans Christian Andersen's The Emperor's New Clothes in a tweet today concerning Newt Gingrich and Donald Trump. Just Google 'Ann Coulter' and you will see it. I thought it a good time to bring back this post from June of 2017. Sean Hannity still claims that the President is playing 3-D chess. Rush Limbaugh seems concerned but says that it's not nearly time to turn against the President. Mark Levin said...."If the President goes for amnesty. I'm out..." What is being missed is that the President is essentially threatening to protect America....if he doesn't get what he wants. Think about that....if he can't get a lesser deal that he hopes will get him off the hook with his supporters.....then he threatens that he will declare a national emergency and actually build the wall through other means....maybe. So even if he does now file a national emergency....it's a farce....he's two years late....and he is boxed in. This isn't 3-D chess....it's Liar's Poker.
President Trump's New Clothes
There are a number of Donald Trump biographies that have come out in the past few years....and an equal number of 'how Trump won' books that are largely biographical. Some of these books are mostly salacious.....Fire And Fury would be such a book.....some are very legitimate biography.....Emily Jane Fox's recently released Born Trump would be one such book. And some are just pure pro-Trump which would be the opposite of Michael Wolff's Fire And Fury. I've tried to read only the books that appear to be legitimate biography....with the exception of Wolff's book. I had done the same thing over the years with Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.....and as far back as Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter.....and I may have read more on the Kennedys over the past forty-five years than all the others combined.....and I should add this that my reading of biography over my life on all genres surely is more than all the political books combined.
Returning to Donald Trump....this is an unlikable man if you understand who he is....a man cloistered over his life in one castle after another....who has princes and princesses running around and who would at times pick a new queen. He's a man of appearances more than substance who is in love with his own image....and whose religion is positive thinking.
In Hans Christian Andersen's The Emperor's New Clothes two weavers tell the emperor that they have made clothes so fine that only those who are really competent can see how wonderful the clothes are. In the case of Donald Trump....Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity are the weavers.....the clothes that they have made every day for the past year are supposedly so beautiful that only those who are really smart can see them. Conservatives don't want to appear stupid so they tell each other how beautiful the clothes are....but there are many of us out here who do not just want to be part of the crowd....we didn't oppose both the Marxists and Republican establishment over eight years by being mindless followers and we're not going to start now. We don't see any fine clothes....only Trump brand underwear and sock garters.
We are not the 'never Trump' movement. We are the never again Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton movement.....the never again Republican establishment movement. Conservative radio talk show hosts are in denial that we exist. They are on a party cruise right now heading right into a tempest....with a captain who thinks that his ship is unsinkable. We had hoped from the beginning to see in a President Trump some evidence of humility that might lead to wisdom. He's going to be tested....and right now we are of no help to him as we only feed his ego and admire the clothes that, in the main, do not exist.
