Goodbye & Good Riddance

With apologies to “The Wizard Of Oz”…

Ding-dong the con is gone!
Which damn con?
The con named Don.
Ding-dong the con named Don is gone!

Trump will be remembered as the absolute worst President in the history of our nation.  He will displace even James Buchanan, whose inept leadership set the stage for the Civil War.

It will, of course, take time to disinfect the White House – both literally and figuratively – and we are unfortunately still stuck with many of Trump’s acolytes.  To the bitter end, Senator Graham has remained a loyal lapdog, trying to shift blame for the attack on the U.S. Capitol away from his master in absentia.

But at least Trump himself no longer wields the power the President of the United States.  That privilege has now been passed to the better man who defeated him in a fair election.  I trust President Biden to be a worthy steward of American democracy; Trump was always in it only for himself.

Back in 2017, in a letter to Trump that I later posted to this blog, I called him a “puerile, narcissistic boor”.  In 2021, I’ll acknowledge the playground limits of Trump’s vocabulary and simply repeat one of his own favorite epithets:

Mr. Trump:  You’re a Loser.

… And your little dog, too.
