Yes – soon he may go to the podium with “war medals” pinned to his custom made suits. Nah – he’d never damage his armor. He’ll have Mussolini’s tailor whip up a nice new uniform.
I used to try to read the works of Thomas Carlyle, but it was so hard to hike and hack through the thickets of his writing style, proto-Nietzschean, in my opinion. For years, his fictional bloated character named “His Excellenz Der Titular-Herr Ritter Kauder-waelsch von Pferdefuss-Quacksalber, Distinguished Conservative Premier” has stuck in my mind. At long last it has become unstuck and is here applied to this extreme caricature of a militaristic Trump. Actually, pompous, feverish old Carlyle might have considered Trump a Hero of his ideal. As I said, it’s so hard to tell, at least for me.
Not KAL’s best effort, but I thought it was apt: He never ever explains how something he’s involved in is less than excellent. Usually he dodges in a direction different than depicted here, but he does dodge.
Though he suffers for all of us with his damnable bone spurs, he carries on his duties through all that pain as the Electoral College Elected……………president.

Like all tin pots, Dress up in a comic opera uniform to make themselves feel as if they have a reason for existence.

“Can you look our troops straight in the eyes and truthfully explain to them…”
No, he can NOT do that. He’d rather play the Victim Card and blame MSM for not ignoring his shortcomings.
The standard Trump warning applies: Listen to what he says, but then watch what he actually DOES.

Excellent caricatures. (Trump tends to morph into a sort of “death mask” of Mussolini fashioned out of orange cottage cheese.)
