Mr. Trump! An ole grump he may appear to be. There are namesake old movies called 'Mr. Grump' which laugh at a pair of extremely old neighbours. These two do not at all think, but forever act n talk. Since it is a movie or two, their crazy old capers do not harm. Instead we laugh at their childish crankiness in the reels.
I refuse to believe that the Mr. Trump our real world is currently afflicted with (at present with a much pre-decided pause, worth it though!) is one such eccentric. Do not you believe me? Well, it seems, like a good director (remember, he was in to show business in a big way?), he even wrote the message the Pakistan P. M. was to share with the whole wide world. Of course, our dear old neighbour being what he is, he copy-pasted the draft, making a clown of himself in front of the whole world!
Does not it, however, show what a smarty pants Ole Donald is? I refuse to believe silly tirades written by extremely narcissistic intellectuals getting old who revel in the clap-clap-clap from their respective echo chambers. Such people would viciously attack you if you just dare to ask them about a title they wrongly quoted or to question their current pet peeve. But they would call Trump brainless megalomaniac!
I do not think Mr.Trump is an old fool publically peeing in his diapers as such public intellectuals paint him to be. In my opinion, he is a shrewd businessman who knows very well how to negotiate, nay, manipulate, a transaction to his advantage!
Sure, a leader (especially THE so-called 'Potus') should be a statesman. That is the idea(l). Reality, as we know too very well, however, is vastly different! Look at any of the major events in the Trump regime so far. He has always behaved like a wily shrewd businessman which he basically, anyways, is.
Remember how he negotiated the Nobel Peace prize? The exchange rate with the current winnie (better term for the lady!) was the raided Venezuela-n president and his wife whose whereabouts are currently in some deep vault, right?
Remember how he threw a terrible feat when the Ukraine president did not accept his terms and conditions? Yes, there IS a method in his so-called madness. He is treating (body) politic(s) as a trade deal! Often such business moguls throw a mock tantrum to get the other side of the negotiating table accede to their terms and conditions.
Ancient civilizations, however, have their own stipulations! Yet, for the sake of all children of all gods (and, not only for the children of Iran and Palestine as sensitive intellectuals would have it!), let us all hope n pray, the Americans would think beyond the mid-term elections, and Iran (and all its terrorist cohorts) beyond the non-existent uranium well-hidden in the tunnels where the U. S. army searched for one lone pilot!
Oh, Lord, forgive not all pretences, because all of these pretenders know very well what they are doing, however much they may give it big big and cute sounding sweet names!
Pratima@ Just as the Iran war makes my eyes well with tears for children there who are now playing "funeral, funeral", equally heavily does my heart twist for all the Indian migrant labourers in the entire Middle East (and their families back home here) who have to hold on to small time jobs despite the terrible war conditions. Imagine the plight of a mother, a sister, a wife or a daughter (and also all the male counterparts in the family) when they watch on the television the pyrotechnics of the most modern warfare, without a word about what exactly is then happening to their near and dear one in those far away war-infested lands!
