New President Sprouts Wings And Soars - Wouldn't You Say?

[Khandro]

In his first week as President Donald J. Trump swept down from Valhalla and accomplished more than most presidents do in a lifetime.

Among his innumerable wonderful and admirable achievements:

• He signed an Executive Order to “secure the southern border of the United States through the immediate construction of a physical wall.”

• He threatened to cut federal funding to “sanctuary cities” that harbor illegal aliens who clean toilets, sell drugs, and rape women.

• He stabbed the Trans Pacific Partnership to death.

• He enacted an immediate federal hiring freeze.

• He called for a “major investigation” into voter fraud during the last election.

• He advanced plans for the Keystone and Dakota pipelines.

• He temporarily blocked all refugees from entering the United States for 120 days. He blocked Syrian refugees indefinitely and barred visa applicants from Iraq, Yemen, Libya, Iran, Somalia, and Sudan, thus sparing American citizens from a tremendous influx of body odor.
“It’s OK to praise Satan and Joseph Mengele—just don’t call a gay guy a ‘fruit.’”

• He won high holy hosannas from American labor-union chiefs.

• He met with British Prime Minister Theresa May, whereupon they winked at each other and whispered that they would make the Anglosphere great again.

It ain’t vainglorious if it’s great again!

Despite all these monumental achievements, the press attempted to deflect attention by focusing on the size of his inauguration crowd and showing pictures of crying Muslims.

Sounds like some old fart barking on about past glories from a world that no longer exists.

oh god taki - he used to play tennis with ex King COnstantine of Greece innit

I thought Khandro meant David Tsang ( easily confused - who writes in the FT )

[AB Editor]

Douglas seems to be generating a lot of hot air for lathered up Donaldites.

Nothing wrong with playing to your crowd, but don't think it's going to fool anyone as anything other than that...

[Peter Pedant]

3T writes in this style every day ( but erm less grammatically perhaps ) but certainly as clearly

and no one goes all goo-ey over that

come to think of it
when I wrote that Ono's next hit after " world peace" with Lennon was "we are siamese if you please"
some people did take me seriously
( it wasnt )

[Khandro]

Zacs, the "old fart" is a Karate black belt still competing at world age related level in his late seventies.

[Zacs-Master]

I don't care if he's a third Dan at tiddlywinks, nor do i see what that has to do with his anachronistic rambling recollections of events in Athens in the 1960, to illustrate who Heroes are.

// nor do i see what that has to do with his anachronistic rambling recollections of events in Athens in the 1960, to illustrate who Heroes are.//

it boils down to: do people pay to read his (Taki's) prose and the answer over thirty or forty years is - - - yes

[Zacs-Master]

Why do they pay when you can read em on line?

[Peter Pedant]

didnt have internet on line thirty or forty years ago
[ OK there was the cambridge ring...]

he was syndicated in the Spectator

which was more famous all those years ago for other things....[wot dey den?] read on

I think he's done very well in his first week despite the minority do-gooders marching and trying to bring him down.

[Zacs-Master]

'didnt have internet on line thirty or forty years ago'

I think you just proved my 'anachronistic' point. Ta.

[ummmm]

Really?

He's done nothing but cause chaos...

[Peter Pedant]

oh

[Cloverjo]

I thought the post quoted in the OP was satire. Having read it again twice, I'm sure it's satire.

Trump has presided over a complete chaos in his first week.

He has denied poor Americans of a affordable health care system.

He has made these executive decisions and stood back while "his people" run around, desperately trying to explain what he is doing.

His flagship policy banning Muslims from America has backfired in his face.

He seems to be running America from a series of 04:00 am tweets.

[mikey4444]

Hereiam......100,000's of protesters have been gathering all over the world. I can't recall that happening when Obama was elected, except a few KKK idiots.

( The KKK supports Trump, by the way )

[Khandro]

Another achievement is the appointment off General Mattis as secretary of defense, listen to his take on ISIS - has anyone else spoken with mote sense and insight on this subject?
