Appreciated Americans

My latest President also appreciated Americans he may never meet or hear or smell Not to mention out to get ever better tasted, with or without informed consent, not so vulnerably seen or transparently felt with copassioned trauma-free intent, yet not actually met, just yet And I am confused that any President would feel he needs to say this, as if appreciating Americans were a partisan platform advocating politically and economically unusual universal health and safe global wealth resiliently inclusive policy priorities Sacredly patriotic EcoMatriotic regard for nutrition-based economic historical polyculturing cooperative space for competing against divisive time Wu-wei YintegralPower/YangLight sacred/secular transubstantiating neuro-sensory WinWin/WinLose/LoseLose co-mediating eco-political communication grace I readily concede this unbecoming space, I could be wrong but I can at least imagine Donald Trump feeling and believing, although jaded disappointed and dispassionately, that he appreciates all those NonWhite NonStraight NonPatriarchal EcoFeminists he has never met And would just as soon not change his monopolistic bliss to CounterCulturally encounter Othering dark ignorance, just yet. I don't know if it is a positive or negative coronary corollary to further extend this metaphoric analogy Yet Trump, unlike Biden, could never get a multiculturally gifted American he has not yet met But I would bet it would be hard to vet EarthTribe residents too healthy to ever regret not having had the pleasure of meeting many Trumpian Americans Cold greetings likely best to forget we all come from somewhere Matriarchally sacred as an interdependent health care safety net includes imaginatively appreciating All those Others Othering unfertilized good eggs, and thus not yet met.
