Well, I did. A couple of weeks back, I wrote a post, “Why Donald Trump will be our very worst president, by a very wide margin”, and, one week in, it’s already true. For the past seven days, Donald Trump has been running around like a chicken with its head cut off, except, you know, infinitely more destructive. Dying chickens don’t build 2,000 mile long walls. Because they’re not that stupid.
But Donald Trump is. Every mile of that “wall”, whatever it actually amounts to, will be a monument to ignorance, cowardice, and racism. That will be Donald Trump’s legacy to America.
Afterwords
The “media” has, to some extent, running around like a chicken with its head cut off as well, but one can hardly blame them. It’s hard to repeat an endless stream of lies, denials, evasions, and non-sequiturs as though it were “news” rather than nonsense. On the right, there’s been a lot of silence—it’s hard to talk when you’ve got someone’s cock in your mouth—with a few impressive exceptions, like my good buddy George Will and my old pal David Brooks.
