The British: “Trump Is a Comically Repulsive Character in His Absurdity”
“I’ve always felt that Donald Trump was a Dickensian character because he is so ridiculous, with his hair and his arrogance. He is certainly a comically repulsive character in his absurdity.
– Miriam Margolyes
British-Australian character actress and comedian, Television Arts awardee
It’s interesting that the UK totally gets this. In truth, Trump has some support in England, largely among the rural, Brexit-loving anti-intellectuals, but the vast majority of Brits, known worldwide for their wisdom and sophistication, sees quite clearly that he’s a crass, unrefined dolt.
Among the many bizarre twists in current-day U.S. politics is the fact that progressives are now rooting for people we used to disdain: army generals, FBI and CIA directors, conservative pundits like George Will, and now former Secretary of Homeland Security, life-long Republican Tom Ridge.
This is a sad truth.
I know I’m being repetitious on this point, but I keep coming across data points that make we wonder about the dwindling cohorts that are voting for Trump, and the growing number who consider him incompetent, or worse: sociopathic, traitorous, etc.
Mitt has a point here. I guess his domestic policy is where he really shines.
Weirdest? Sure, before January of 2017, this would have been weird beyond belief.
Yes, Trump, with his dishonest and self-interested botching of the COVID-19 response, restaurants have been hurt very badly. But think of how few industries haven’t felt pain. I suppose delivery services, e-retailers, manufacturers of face masks and toilet paper have done well, but it’s really hard to think of many business sectors that haven’t suffered a terrible shot to the gut.
As you look at the words at left, can you imagine?
There’s a lot to love about Poland. The land of Frederik Chopin, great vodka, awe-inspiring architecture, and a rich history of scientific breakthroughs that includes the work of Nicolas Copernicus and Marie Curie. (Pictured: Warsaw’s Belvedere Restaurant, IMO one of the world’s very best.)
