I am less concerned that the Big Apple has taken up residence in the White House

I am more concerned about the worm in that apple!

Dear European Friends,
     Those of us living the dream under the clown prince of reality shows (tremendously popular, super high ratings, highest ever rating in the history of television in the entire world...and the as yet undiscovered habitable worlds in the universe) where we have been treated to the spectacle of seeing Donald perform in that antithesis to reality pro wrestling video where he slammed Vince to the floor (only we saw it with CNN's logo covering his head) showing class all the way. The same class he showed at a recent meeting over there where he elbowed a "lesser" elected person out of his way so he could get his picture taken in the best light...or maybe he was looking for Putin...but that's a different story.
     Just the same as all Russians do not love Putin and not all Americans think Brussels is  the name of little tiny cabbages or that Brexit is a new men's deodorant or that a wall will stop illegals or that global warming isn't real, there are regular folks who wanted to give the self proclaimed maverick a chance to make good on his claims...even though we didn't vote for him. BANG! Ban muslims! BANG! Courts say NO! Calls courts biased due to heritage of a judge. Calls shame on the other judges. That was just the beginning. The last five months have been a circus. I don't care for the circus. I grew out of that joy years ago. Paranoid narcissists don't fare well in the fishbowl that is the American presidency. Thin skin gets torn too easily. Donald isn't a scholar and as I recall he doesn't like to read that much (might have been in  a fake news story I saw...). He's not suited to the office. He keeps asking for loyalty of those whose loyalty is to the people of the nation and not the president.
The Russia probe is going to rip open the financial skulduggery he is doing his best to hide. There are so many more shoes to drop...we wait with abated breath. We...us...who think for ourselves.
     We normal people are still here. We aren't despondent former Hillary backers, nor new fangled Republicans carrying religion as a guide, nor Democrats willing to grow a federal government so large as to support ridiculous administration on top of administration. We have faith in the 4th Estate, but think for ourselves. We cringe when he opens his mouth and laugh when his unqualified cronies he appointed have to spin some ridiculous tale to help interpret his muddled contradictions and fabrications easily proven false with videos of his own making (never met or heard of David Duke but there is recorded evidence to the contrary).
     We will win out in the end. Braggarts and hucksters can keep juggling the balls in the air for a time but the day will come when their cleverness fails them and the truth will out.
     President Donald has not managed to make us great again. So far as I can tell he has managed to become the clown prince of world leaders and again, pretty much singlehandedly, re-earned us the moniker The Ugly American.
