The weirdest presidential election year in the history of modern US politics came down to one of the weirdest five-day news runs I've ever seen. Secretary Hillary Clinton gave a rousing speech on Thursday in stalwart defense of empire while cutting Donald Trump off at the knees. Trump, in response, spent the next several days spraying copious amounts of folly into the air as if he were the fountains at the Bellagio Hotel in Vegas.
It began with that Clinton speech on Thursday night. A great many people have been justifiably concerned about the Clinton campaign's ability to, you know, campaign successfully. Those concerns grew by orders of magnitude after Trump emerged victorious from the fever swamp of the GOP nomination process. Clinton put paid to all those furrowed brows simply by making fun of the man with his own absurd words. She found the chink in his armor and stabbed him under the fifth rib with mockery, disdain and total disrespect, using a dry-wit delivery worthy of President Obama. She had the crowd laughing at "The Donald," and that is gall and wormwood to The Ego.
Later that night, Trump held a rally and went screaming around the room like an angry orange bat. I SAW THE SPEECH HILLARY IS PATHETIC BUILD A WALL SHE BELONGS IN JAIL LOOK HOW BIG MY HANDS ARE I'M RICH WHAAARGARBL. It was a bull-throated roar of pure nonsense that confirmed everything Clinton said about him -- unbalanced, unfit, incoherent. I was reminded of the scene in the film Inherit the Wind when Matthew Harrison Brady, after being humiliated in court earlier that day, raged around his hotel room before collapsing pathetically into his wife's arms. "They laughed at me," he whimpers. "I hate it when they laugh at me."...
Trump later went on to say that no Muslim judge could be impartial with him because of their religious faith. Apparently, the only judge Trump believes can give him a fair shake is some Anglo-Saxon trust fund baby with a spray-on tan and a roadkill-flattened rabbit on his head.
