Presidential Presidency
“At some point, I’m going to be so presidential that you people will be so bored and I will come back as a presidential person.” Our President before he became President.
I think this about sums it up. Why behave like an adult if adulthood is boring? Why act wisely if wisdom will put the American people to sleep? Why be sane if sanity is no fun? Oh, sure, we could have elected a normal person. But why? To solve world problems and help steer the nation into the future? C’mon, that’s so Yesterday. So meat and potatoes. So yawn-inducing. You want position papers and statesman-like pronouncements, get a grip. This is reality TV, tweet-storming excitement.
The man gets up pre-dawn to tweet some new outrage for the lying media to devour. He’s pissed off and he wants some revenge, you don’t get that? You’d like to take it out on the folks who criticize you, wouldn’t you? You bet your toupee you would! He doesn’t give a damn about who gets knocked down, whose feelings get hurt, what cherished value gets broken — and wouldn’t we all love to be the bull in the china shop for once? Judging by the trolls out there in cyberville, I’d say there’s plenty of room for racists and misogynists and haters. They’ve waited their whole empty life for this opportunity. And now they’ve got their role model in the highest office in the land. Yee haw!
If I were one of those yahoos who think government is a bunch of stoopid jerks who screwed up my life, I’d love this guy. He’s a one man wrecking ball. Congress? Oh right, the dumbasses who can’t repeal that terrible Obamacare we all hate? Those guys? The ones who spent the past 7 years tearing their hair out but never put together the replacement plan? Those guys? That government? The one that couldn’t agree on what day of the week it is, much less what month? No, give me the guy who has the guts day in and day out to tweet what idiots they all are. The guy who will bring back coal jobs. The guy who’ll stand up to France and Germany. The man who isn’t afraid to admit he likes the manly Putin more than that dogface Merkel woman. The President who isn’t afraid to change his mind when the mood suits him, just like us! Yaw!!
Let’s just hope he doesn’t get so presidential we’re bored and becomes a presidential person. That’s when we change the channel….

I’m beginning to worry about you a little, Skeeter. Please don’t let the awful orange man give you a stroke.
I have pharmaceuticals to assist me, have no doubt, just what the doctors ordered before they came under fire for opioid overdosing. Heavy nettle beer and a diet of garden vegetables and fresh crab plus plenty of fruits . I think I’m going to make it thru the summer okay. We’ll see how Trump does with Big Macs and no sleep.
Trump has made boredom look great again, certainly preferable to whatever it is we have now. What was wrong with empty summer days, nothing to do from dawn through twilight, when we ran around nowhere as fast as feet could fly, not distracted by a digital world, hungry for an hour or two of sudden unexplored reverie?
I fear there may be no going back, no means by which we can Make America Bored Again.
Grim news indeed! I suspect America got the Leader it deserves. It’s pretty much 24/7 soap operas, Facebook and reality TV now. With plenty of advertising. I was out in the eelgrass for a couple of hours yesterday, thigh high in the Sound at low tide. Two miles of empty beach, just me and the seals and a bottom full of scuttling crab. Where are the humans on a nice summer day, you might wonder. I guess we know and I figure it’s okay.
