Thoughts on Trumps Frosty Rhetoric

[ashling]

Trump Rhetoric is cool ...
says the Trump suppportin' fool.
With substance it's not filled

Though it could get us all killed.


I was watching Lawrence O. and other MSNBC shows this evening and am going to refer to some things either said outright or alluded to by several different panel members who I do not clearly remember. I apologize in advance for such inexactness and extreme randomness,

but after all it is in keeping with the topic

One of these panel members was talking about the "tells" or certain phrases that he comes back to. They did a whole video riff on the "Like the world has never seen." There are also some that he ends with like " Time will tell..." and then, as if he suddenly hears himself and finds it quite profound, he repeats it (on a laborious downward conncinity - so as to increase the profundity of the inane prhase) ...

"t i m e
. . . . w i l l
. . . . . . . . t e l l"


I immediately think of Frost's poem Mending Wall and the phrase "good fences make good neighbors.

"And he likes having thought of it so well
He says again, "Good fences make good neighbours."

Obviously this poem has resonance regarding other issues as well

" Before I built a wall I'd ask to know
What I was walling in or walling out,
And to whom I was like to give offence.
Something there is that doesn't love a wall,
That wants it down."

. . . THAT I can tell you.

1. The video clips of Trumps "Like the world has never seen." was great. I realized earlier he says it

a lot but this video showed how much he has repeated that phase (or similar phases) Having not listened much to his campaign speeches, I did not know trump said it so often at his rallies.
