Donald Trump did something presidential yesterday, while the
actual president was playing golf. Trump
travelled on his own plane, with the name “TRUMP” emblazoned on the fuselage,
to Louisiana to show his support for the beleaguered state, and to raise morale
on the ground. He stomped around like an
alpha male, shook hands, spoke to people, gave encouragement, and called on the
Metrosexual to get off the golf course, come down to Louisiana, act like the
president, and to see for himself what was going on.
“We Knew You Would
Come” read one headline.
Meanwhile, the Metrosexual continued to play golf and enjoy
his last vacation as president in Martha’s Vineyard. A spokesman let out that the Metrosexual
would travel down to Louisiana on Tuesday, August 23rd, by which
time the waters should have begun receding.
The Metrosexual had, in the 2007 campaign, viciously criticized his predecessor, George W.
Bush, for flying over Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina for a look, and not
landing. The Metrosexual implied that he
would have done things a lot differently.
Hope, change, and all that.
Now we have a clearer idea of how cynical that promise
was. Louisiana suffers another Katrina-like
disaster, and the Metrosexual of hope and change gives them the back of his
hand. Only Trump’s decisive, alpha male action,
and being reminded of his own cynical criticism of 2007 shamed the unshameable
into promising to travel down about Air Force One as the first thing on the to-do list after the
scheduled vacation is over. His subjects
can be so demanding at times!
Hillary, who is also campaigning for president occasionally,
was nowhere to be found, or even heard from.
Perhaps she was nursing another one of those pounding headaches
again. She dodged being deposed in
person in the Judicial Watch lawsuit that brought to light her secret email
server. She only has to respond in
writing to submitted questions. Campaigning
can be hard on the elderly.
Hillary’s husband Bill used to be known in the news as “the
big dog,” and “Bubba,” which, by comparison with Trump was not due to an Alpha
Male personality. Bill’s reputation as a
dominant male was based upon his prowess with young girls, grieving widows, and
female subordinates, and the absence of any other comparison. The media now see for themselves what an
alpha male looks like and acts like.
Trump was in the news all week, and has been completely
dominant since Thursday. Maureen Dowd
has returned to mocking Trump in her tiny-fisted effort to keep the brute down.
The LA Times daily tracking poll now shows Trump with a half
point lead over Hillary nationally.
Other reports indicate that Roger Ailes, recently retired head of Fox
News, has been advising the Trump campaign, coincident with a tremendous surge
by Trump. After several bad weeks and a
shake-up of his campaign team, Trump seems to have the wind at his back.
Hillary is powerless to help her cause. She is a ruddlerless, powerless derelict
drifting at the mercy of the winds and the tides. If the wind gets behind the Trump Train,
there is nothing she can do except pound home vicious lies on TV ads paid for
with the bottomless pocket of Wall Street.
The take home from today is that the campaign conflict these
last few days has been between Trump and the Metrosexual currently occupying
the office, while Hillary is nowhere to be found.
