A Question of Taste
A Question of Taste ©
By
Michael Casey
Taste is a big thing, and style is
another, and there is good taste and bad taste, and leaving a bad taste in your
mouth. As I speak Trump is in Finland, thanking Putin for helping him get
elected, Putin wanted a chump and he got Trump. If you have seen the film Being
There one of Peter Sellers last films you’ll see the comparison. Sellers was
Chance the Gardener, but people thought he was Chancy Jardinier, and in the end
Deep Society is it, decided he’d be President material. The comedy sex scene is
very funny, where Sellers says he likes to watch, so he does, he watches tv
while the woman cavorts on the floor on her own, best sex ever she says. It’s maybe 40 years since I
saw the film at the cinema.
And now we have Trump, Obama was wrong,
people did elect him, and all because folks thought it was Hillary’s turn.
Sleeping with the President instead of Divorcing him is not a good enough
qualification for being President. President Stormy Daniels next? Trump does
not believe in anything but himself, but sadly if only 50% of the people bother
to vote you get the Decline and Fall of the American Empire. I’m sure I’ve got
your attention now. Shall I just Pardon myself and refuse a writ to attend as
we call them in UK. This is why in UK 100,000s protested, not because Trump is such a bad
man, there are many many more worse leaders.
The point is taste, Trump has none,
everything is in the worse possible taste. Look at Candide and Kenny Everett in
drag and you’ll soon see the similarities with Trump. WE hate arrogance, money
does not give you class and nobility. Breeding gives class, as in manners, and
kindness and compassion. And I’m not
talking about Royalty, I’m talking about being a Gentleman or a Lady, even if
you live in the flat above the chip shop. Sadly from this side of the Atlantic
Trump seems to have taken over the White House and gone rogue as one of our
Political Commentators remarked.
It’s the economy stupid is what Bill
Clinton said, and Trump claims credit for all of that. But yet again today the
Markets are frightened because of Trump’s self-imposed bullet in the head,
Trade Wars are the height of stupidity. Markets wildly going up and down is
never good stewardship, it’s almost Biblical in its stupidity. Remember the
master asking what did you do with the talents? Trump seems to be the one who
buried the talent in the ground. Talent is the People of any country, but if
the bus driver is so busy on twitter he does not do his job but instead crashes
the bus and all the talents of the people go over the cliff, who is then to
blame? I’m sure he would blame all previous Presidents.
I was going to write something different but
I’ve ended up talking about Donald, maybe it’s because I despair that USA
voters won’t cull him and his policies. Has Trump sold America’s soul for 30
pieces of silver? But if the trade wars kill the stock market then the 30
pieces of silver will be even more worthless. Some things have a value much
much greater than money, but Donald only thinks in money terms. To the rest of
the world USA had been downgraded, and that’s all due to one man. Is
Isolationism returning, if there is no quick buck, why should Trump’s America
bother?
They say that the Presidency changes the
Man, in Donald’s case he has trashed the Presidency, it’s become a 50cent
store. I have no pleasure in saying this. If he and his chief of staff are
shouting at each other, if so many of his staff have left and so on, what
chance for Hope. Trump’s America is no longer a beacon of hope in a dark and
sometimes cruel world. It’s become Scrooge before finding redemption. So in the
end the Future is with the people they have to bother to vote, if they are not
too busy watching Trump’s photo opportunities on Fox News.
