Court Jesters And Such.

       Well, the real story is beginning to filter through on Trump's visit abroad. Turns out his shining moments were a bit covered in sand. Like the 100 billion dollar arms deal he magically brokered. All except more than half of it was brokered during the Obama presidency. And then there's the fact that they haven't paid for the stuff they've already bought from us.
       Not only that, but Trump has fallen into the same trap that most, if not all, other presidents have done. By that I mean that Saudi Arabia is the number one sponsor of terrorism in the Middle East and perhaps the world and he's picking their side in this diplomatic war with Qatar. Ya think he's negotiating the rights to a hotel somewhere among the dunes?
       But really, to claim you made a deal for a big sale that will bring millions of jobs to America when the deal (which isn't really a deal yet and won't be for some considerable time, if at all) was actually initiated by a previous administration is, well let's just say it's not true. And if something is not true, then it's very like a lie.
       Now, I know, I know, Donald Trump is our president. And as such he is to be given some considerable deference. Just remember there's a difference between deference and difference. I respect the office of the Presidency of the United States. I wonder if Mr. Trump does also? Because it certainly doesn't seem like he does. He lies more that a drunken "lady of the evening."
       Did I say lie. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe his pronouncements on Twitter are not lies but subterfuge intended to confuse our enemies. Naw, they're just plain old, run of the mill, out and out lies. At least one a day. What kind of president is this? At the very least he should be stripped of the title. Call him Court Jester in Chief if ya need a title.
