Getting the joke or the Joke is on you

In President Donald Trump’s world, were the grasp on truth is tenuous, alternative facts and outright lies are abundantly clear as being the message, a feature not an occurrence. One is constantly seeing the pundits in the news media question how people can support him. Seemingly, with each day, some new lie, some new scandal, some new revelation that would have derailed another president, is brushed aside for the next tweet, the next press conference, the next thing to send the nagging chorus of bird song to an even greater, higher pitch. From fake massacres, to “Pee-Gate” to sheer laws on the amount of people attending his inauguration, it is day by day insanity. Chicken Little had but to cry once the sky is falling, to awaken the barnyard but by the third, the other animals rolled over and ignored him. This President has not had three times, or even three times three. Nope, not even 300 times 300 times shocked and outraged the world or what should have done so under any other president. So what is going on? What do the 40 percent of the American population not get in their continuing support of Donald Trump?

The answer is depending on who you ask. Trump and the White House don’t care about anyone else is opinion. They won. And you don’t matter. So to the victor goes the spoils and let the hog feast begin. Some pigs are more equal than others. In the Hour and Senate, they don’t care either. In a Republican controlled Congress, they only need some idiot who will sign into law whatever they pass. So it does not matter what is the latest scandal issued from the lying White House, so long as Donald Trump signs whatever is put in front of him, without question, they won’t care either.

The last party involved is the people of America, those voters who voted for the man himself. The pundits who think they are all so smart, have no clue what is happening out there. They are told they are less smart, less sophisticated, less informed or else they would have long turned against Donald J Trump. Except, it is impossible to not see all those things. From Saturday Night Live to the internet to network talk shows and Cable new services, all of them are aglow with the merits of everything done by President Trump. So what are the people not getting about this conman shyster in office who is more than likely a Russian agent? We return to the first question, what are these people not getting? The answer is they are getting it, they are getting it all. What the 4th estate is not getting is this. Trump is a clown, and even the dumbest of person can see that but he is upsetting the smug self righteous elite who run the news media. He is causing them to run around like a chicken without a head. As they scurry hither and fro, the media is being mocked in the mockery, they are being laughed at by those in the laugh. The joke is on the media. The good job Donald Trump is doing is not governing the country but in upsetting the media. Drive the frenzy of the 4th estate. Dragging them to the absurd as they try to sound impartial when faced with nothing but childish taunts. Donald J. Trump is doing a fabulous job challenging the professionalism of the journalists of every sort. In that challenge lays the reason he is supported. Over the years, the dumb people, the absurd people, those who the New York Media Elites have turned down their nose to, they became the majority. They control democracy and even if they only won by a hair, it was a fine hair indeed. They won and if they want the clown to entertain them while Rome doeth burn? Then they are the will of the people. Welcome to democracy. Sometimes the good guys don’t always win the polls. 3 years and 11 months to go. Get plenty of sleep; there is no sign this is going to slow down any time soon. Bread and circus in the twenty first century, thy name is Trump, all hail (spelled Heil?) to the new President.
