Truman

Don't you wish Trump were Truman, and this were just a TV show.

We could watch in horror as he blows up the world, checking in each day to see what fresh new disaster he thinks up, as though it were the soaps.

It would be like the SNL version of West Wing.

Then, we could turn off the TV, cook dinner and get on with our lives.

Of course, we hired a guy who does a reality TV show to be the leader of the free world.  Who's been watching too much television?

Maybe it's time to start reading a book, or the newspaper, and not just the gossip section or the horoscopes.

On the other hand, in a universe of alternative facts, one fact is as good as another, until you run out of road.

So the polar ice caps are melting.  So what if the land of liberty just became a racist refuge.  Don't worry that the Chinese are so incensed with our boorish President that they've moved their ICBMs within striking distance to our shores.  Don't let those silly scientists worry you by moving up the doomsday clock.

When the bell tolls midnight, you will be safely home with your locked doors...keeping out whatever tragedy envelopes the world.  It can't affect you in your delusion.
