The headline kind of tells the story. I was going to write a long and in depth article about a fictional country who’s elected leader is caught time after time making shit up. And when it is brought to the attention of the ruling party’s members they shrug it off as the leader just “being the leader”. But then I realized I didn’t have to really write anything because we are living it everyday!

Alright, one thing. You forced me into this. The leader claims he predicted that the English would vote in favor of “Brexit” the day before the voting took place. He said that he was at a reopening of his golf club on the day before the vote and predicted the outcome. That would have been June 22, 2016. The vote took place on June 23, 2016. As usual he considers himself the smartest man in the room, in the British Isles this time. Except…Wait, you what’s coming don’t you? HIS OWN TWEETS HAVE HIM SHOWING UP IN SCOTLAND ON JUNE 24, 2016!.

Here is a transcript of an interview while this leader was in England:

“If you remember, I was opening Turnberry the day before Brexit. I said Brexit will happen, and it did happen. And then we cut the ribbon.”

Below is his tweet about the same subject. Note the date at the bottom:

Why should we care? It’s just a little white lie to make a point. Or maybe just “alternative facts”. BECAUSE, THIS IS OUR COUNTRY AND WE NEED TO TAKE IT BACK! Turns out his campaign slogan works now! Now is time to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Wow. I have no idea how this turned out to be about Trump. It all started as a work of fiction. Funny how art imitates life.

A short one here for you…

Remember when Trump was campaigning using the size of the National Debt (no not his hands)? At that time the debt was just over 19 Trillion, yes with a T, 19 trillion dollars. Most of that owed to China! Trump said we wouldn’t have a country if the debt wasn’t reduced. Guess what! The National Debt is now over 21 Trillion dollars. This isn’t yen were talking about but real U.S. Dollars.

Think this one over next time the word bankruptcy comes to mind. This country is there. We are not on our way, WE ARE THERE!

Our “brilliant” president has come up with a new way to resolve the trade deficit dilemma. We all would love to have balanced trade with every partner from every corner of the world. That would be great! But Mr. Trump has a better idea.

STOP TRADING!

This way we would have balanced trade. Nothing in and nothing out. Of course our economy would nosedive into a recession unlike anything we have ever seen before. It would be the GREATEST recession of all time. YOU’LL LOVE IT, IT WILL WORK OUT GREAT, TRUST ME. Think about it. No more worrying about going to work, how to pay the bills, feed ourselves or our children. We wouldn’t have to worry about pets either (think that one over). Yep, this will make American great again. A great wasteland of human possibilities.
