God bless America. This president of ours is something.
Yeah, he makes a lot of noise and says what seems – to a world used to the polite pablum of diplomatic argle-bargle – to be some pretty outrageous stuff. Even jarring to the ear at times, it can be so bombastic. Lord, it irritates the crap out of establishment types and horrifies the polite elements still existing in society who just want to get along with everyone.
But I find that when ‘WE’RE TAKING THE PANAMA CANAL BACK FROM CHINA’ or ‘THE PARIS ACCORDS ARE CRAP’ thunder from a podium or, now, from behind the Resolute Desk (giggity and thank God), my initial reaction isn’t the old, “Here we go again.”
It’s quite the opposite – not as if it were one of those logic puzzles. I’m terrible at those, not having a logical bone in my body.
No, it’s a puzzlement of the intuitive kind.
I wonder who the message…
