We're the laughing stock of the world

All for the price of a dozen eggs, America stands on shaky legs. Globally, the claim is heard ~ "The US ~ laughing stock of the world," as daily we star in our very own theater of the absurd. Whether Trump or Musk will make America great again remains to be seen. But in the interim ~ do they have to be so goddamn petty ~ and mean? Said Trump to those gathered: I was only sent to help America's lost, sick, and poor - not them illegal aliens or pet-eating refugees, that's for sure. Let 'em all be deported - let 'em all be shown the door. We’re not gonna give an F about the world's lost, sick, and poor anymore. I was sent to make only America great again - and I'll make it far greater then it ever was before. Did you hear Trump joke he wants to be the next Pope? Don't he know the Pope ain't allowed to grope? That a Pope don't appoint advisers who are drunks and smoke dope? That a Pope don't give in to vanity by painting their face the color of a cantaloupe? That a Pope spreads not despair, but genuine hope? That even one lie a day is for a Pope way out of scope? And does Trump realize he'd have to convert from his icky form of Christianity to Catholicism, and that he could no longer flirt with any random skirt? And that he'd have to dedicate himself fully not to golf, but to God and the church, and leave all his brown-nosing billionaire friends in the lurch? Not according to my research! And can you imagine Trump's first papal bull?* "From now on, only the rich get to go to heaven, because heaven is getting to be too damned full." * A papal bull is a type of public decree, letters patent, or charter issued by a pope. Reasoning like Trump's henchman, Stephen Miller A great mystery was solved when bird DNA conclusively resolved that the American Eagle came over the border as an illegal, and now Congress needs to appropriate deportation funds so that ICE can get involved. Thank God, I didn't starve to death in Bergen-Belsen. Thank God, I didn't get liquidated in the Russia of Boris Yeltsin. But now, I do find myself living under this new Trump regime, and, although it is not (yet) quite as extreme, it is working very hard to kill our Founding Fathers' dream.
