So I was half-way through a frightening page-turner about innocent and defenseless people being sentenced to death by a cruel and crazy hanging judge when I realized I was reading Trump's budget.
Right, that was a joke since the title, "America First," led me to assume it was a biography (or autobiography) of the American Nazi Party. After all, "America First" was their slogan for decades.
But then I pondered, why would the President of the United States be smiling while holding up (and appearing to pimp) Nazi literature? Didn't the Anti-Defamation League finally convince him to stop using the slogan after he ignored their pleas for some 18 months? Trump certainly didn't need to double down on the slogan since the election was over and the Nazis endorsed him way back in May. Perhaps his much ballyhooed "America First" book signing event was simply reassurance to hate groups as to where his sympathies fall.
I suppose it proves that even a compulsive liar tells the truth, sometimes. But may I suggest to Mr. Trump and his professional spinmeisters that they start working in the less obscure slogan, “Now, Tomorrow & Forever." It's one that won't just scare the crap out of Jews my age but also African Americans of nearly every age.
SPOILER ALERT: Trump's latest horror genre novelette-cum-motion picture does not have a happy ending. But then, that's not what he was expecting when his script's ghostwriters were put to task.
Fini.
