The Skeeter Daddle Diaries

Most, if not all, Presidents use national holidays to celebrate their country, to remind us we are One People, all of us pulling together to make this nation what it is and what it has potential to be. Not the current one, of course, who sent out an all caps message to us that read: “Happy Memorial Day to all, including the scum that spent the last four years trying to destroy our country.” Nice sentiment from the Commander-in-Chief, the guy who called prisoners of war ‘losers’ and the troops who died fighting for their country suckers. Thanks, General.

Always in search of a scapegoat the guy can’t help himself denigrating any and all who he can’t see in the mirror. Losers, scum, suckers, deadbeats, gang members — I think he means you and me. But … help is on the way for this once great nation of ours that has lost its way. And that solution is him. Why he’s throwing himself a military parade on his birthday. Not sure why he didn’t get the job done the first term of office but let’s not go there. He gets a mulligan. In his world he always gets a mulligan and he always wins every tournament.

Most, if not all, Presidents aim for uniting the country they’re in charge of, not calling us scum and communists, not investigating anyone who has ever slighted them. Every good autocrat and every dutiful dictator looks for a scapegoat, Jews, Muslims, immigrants, pick one or two and blame the ills of the nation on them. This president has an enemy list longer than his inventory of merchandise he sells. Elite colleges, all Democrats, all immigrants who aren’t white, Bruce Springsteen and Taylor Swift, Joe Biden and Joe Biden and forever Joe Biden. He has skin so thin nearly everyone is a potential loser scumbag if they forget to kiss the ring frequently. And if the scapegoats aren’t enough here, he’s got our allies overseas to criticize and threaten. Some he hauls into the Oval Office and gives them the World Wide Wrestling Smackdown treatment, great TV he says, figuring, apparently, everyone loves a bully so long as he’s a winner.

So it’s Memorial Day here in America. Losers Day to him, all those gravestones in Arlington National Cemetery. To the rest of us, just another sad day in a long line of his Presidency.
