canuckamuck Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Quote Donald Trump is four centuries too late The man is a 70-year-old adolescent, A playboy, a teen queen, a juvie. Take him away, give him a suppressant, Mr. Trump would have enjoyed the 17th century, the tumult, the divine right of kings, the suppression of Parliament. Vituperation was normal discourse, the idea of privileged sexual aggression was common in high places, money flowed freely, rich men commissioned great monuments to themselves. He was in excellent form on Sunday night, strutting, stalking, words and phrases flowing out of him like water from a hose — “disaster” and “horrible” over and over — and if you put him on Grub Street in 1650, he’d be magnificent in his great swirling robes, surrounded by courtiers and sycophants, ranting against the Puritans, supporting the monarchy, smiting his enemies. They're isn't many in the 1% category that wouldn't be exactly the same. Hilary and Bill for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
