Ancient wisdom so astonishingly prescient in the era of Trump.

71

A leader is best

When people barely know that he exists,

Not so good when people obey and acclaim him,

Worse when they despise him.

‘Fail to honor people, they failed to honor you;’

But for a good leader, who talks little,

When his work is done, his aim fulfilled,

They will all say, ‘we did this ourselves.’

Donald Trump assured us, July 31, that his ballroom,
“won’t interfere with the current building.  .  .  .  It will be near it but not touching it.  It pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of.  It’s my favorite place.  I love it.” On October 20, his demolitions crew set to work demolishing the East Wing of We-the-People’s White House.

Following the October 18 “No King” rally, King Trump reposted an AI of himself flying over, shitting on Americans.

Now, he schemes to shake-down taxpayers for $230 million.

Donald J. Trump is a cancer on the body of American Democracy.

I hope it’s not terminal.
