P.O.E.T.S.

A brief summary of the presidential* week:

Attacked a (black) woman he had hired four times as a "dog" and a "lowlife" because she revealed the astonishing news that he is a racist.  Ordered his attorney general, Three-Fifths of a Man Sessions, to arrest her, although publishing a book is not currently illegal.

Wrote his name bigly on the bottom of the John McCain National Defense Authorization Act without mentioning John McCain.

Got into a bizarre argument with a group of Vietnam War veterans who had come to ask for more assistance for victims of Agent Orange.  "You mean the stuff from that movie?" the stable genius asked.  Eventually it became clear that he was talking about Apocalypse Now, which is as close as Cadet Bonespurs got to the war.  No, they explained, that was napalm.  As in Col. Kilgore (Robert Duvall):  "I love the smell of napalm in the morning.  Smells like...victory."  Went around the table asking every veteran if that was "the stuff."  Still refused to believe it.  Lost interest in veterans and their so-called problems.

Handed out medals to the ICEstapo to recognize their fine work in protecting us from Central American  toddlers.  Continued to ignore a court order to reunite the children with their parents.

Had a shit-fit when told the price of the Mayday-in-Red-Square parade he covets for Washington, claimed he cancelled it and will use the money to buy more invisible fighter planes instead,  vroom vroom.  Threatened to attend Paris parade on November 11 marking the hundredth anniversary of the Armistice, to indulge his unhealthy obsession with the Macrons.

Marked the death of Aretha Franklin by noting that "she used to work for me," possibly confusing the Queen of Soul with the Help.  Actually, Franklin was among the hundreds of artists who wanted nothing to do with Trump's pathetic "inauguration."

Cancelled the security clearance of former CIA Director John Brennan in a display of bratty spite.  In response, retired Adm. William McRaven asked to have his security clearance revoked.  Adm. McRaven led the raid which killed Osama bin Laden and is now chancellor of the University of Texas.  He may be America's most distinguished badass.

Pointedly had nothing to tweet about the grand jury's finding that three hundred priests molested thousands of children in Pennsylvania, and that the Catholic Church systematically covered it up for decades.  (Imagine if it had involved three hundred imams...or three.)

Left on Friday morning for a badly-needed golf weekend.  (Piss Off Early, Tomorrow's Saturday.)   As always, accomplished more in one week than FDR in sixteen years.
