Donald Trump – What the F#$@#?

That was an unfinished line from a TV commercial a few months ago, wherein a well known British actor/comedian began to blurt out the popular expletive but was rudely interrupted by hand grenades exploding in the background.  Jump ahead a few months and we can easily ask ourselves the same question, be the expletive finished or unfinished.

When I was a kid and if we wanted to make a point with an “or else” attached to it, we would face down our opponent by saying, “I’m going to count up to three”.  Knowing full well the consequences as well as the makeup of the opponent who is threatened with an, “or else”, we would invariably continue the countdown thusly: “One” (the response is a sneer of disbelief), “one and a half” (no reaction this time), “one and three quarters” (still no reaction), “two – I mean it” (blank stare), “two and a quarter – I really mean it” (only a smile), “two and a half – this time I really mean it”, and so on and so forth.

Isn’t that exactly what has been going on between our nuclear negotiators and Iran?  Face it.  They must be laughing their heads off at us.

Under the same heading as, WHAT THE F…………., I usually consider myself as well informed but this time I was ‘asleep at the wheel’ when I heard the term, “Sanctuary Cities”.  So what did I do?  I Googled it, naturally.  And what I found out literally blew me away.

I realize that politics being what it is, many politicians will unwittingly and sometimes intentionally prostitute themselves in order to gain easy but questionable votes which in turn metastasize into vicious merry-go-rounds that cannot be stopped and from which there is no easy way to get off.  But what we have in this instance is absolute insanity and the utmost in political stupidity.  What is the point of having any laws when we can slowly but surely slide into total anarchy?  You don’t believe me?  Look up, “Sanctuary Cities”, and decide for yourself.

Under the same heading – the only problem seems to be that the man likes to ‘shoot from the hip’.  Who am I talking about?  Donald Trump, who else?  You may not like him but he does deliver one hell of a message.  What’s more, because he is a self made zillionaire (with a little help from Mr. Trump, Sr.) he doesn’t or shouldn’t have to take any crap from Wall Street, the professional politicians, the establishment (whoever they are) or the media.  In other words he can easily afford to tell it like it is which is a different approach from what we normally get.  It is time for a change and Donald Trump may be the one to bring it about.

A lot of people are starting to say that they like him because he does tell it like it is without all of the usual political bullshit.  Perhaps.  But he should aim at what he shoots at and he should shoot at what he aims at.  In the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department we were taught never to shoot from the hip, like they do in the movies, but rather to carefully select your target and then take careful aim.  If Donald Trump can do this he may be our man.

Either as a Republican or as an Independent he would first have to get elected.  Most of the so-called political experts are either not aware or simply refuse to admit that a Presidential election is no different than a gigantic popularity, or notoriety, contest.  I have a suspicion that Donald Trump is aware of this concept and should he pursue it, he could turn out to be the ultimate “Obamanator”.  Even if he didn’t win the election, he could become a rallying point or a voice for every one out there who is sick and tired of the same old bullshit day after day that is promulgated by politicians interested in only two things, fund raising and the inevitable bloc voting in their district.

Will the comments made in todays email blast raise some eyebrows or perhaps generate some responses, even negative ones?  I sure as hell hope so.
