The Skeeter Daddle Diaries

A buddy just wrote me that the Trump Library had burned down and both books had gone up in flames. The sad part, he said, was that the President hadn’t even finished coloring the second one.

Other than the gossip section of the NY Post, chances are our President hasn’t read much of anything. When asked once what his favorite book was, he famously replied the Bible. Other than, of course, his own ghost-written book Art of the Deal. In response to the question of naming a few favorite passages in the Good Book (presumably the Bible), he didn’t want to get into that, more a personal matter, next question.

So the idea of a Trump Library, that repository for his memorandums, logs, meeting notes, private collection of books, etc., well, the notion is nothing if not oxymoronic. Or totally moronic, if you want to be harsh. The man destroys his notes and memos, no doubt the influence of the mafia attorney Roy Cohn, to eliminate the potential for incriminating evidence. History will not be kind to this man of few letters and constant words. It will, of course, have the Trump Bibles and his many ghost-written books for sale. Along with the rest of his merch.

When the design concept goes out for bid on the architecture of the place, I’m going to submit my own renderings. Like the Viet Nam War Memorial, mine will be subterranean, descending down into the earth, windowless, probably a very small footprint, say, 1000 sq feet maximum to give the space a sense of being ‘full’, floor to low ceiling. Inside, past the admission desk where visitors will be charged for the privilege, maybe a couple of computer stations but more likely banks of televisions mounted on the walls with Newsmax and Fox still fawning over the huuuge accomplishments of a second Administration. And of course, bigger-than-life cut-outs of the Donald with John Wayne and Marilyn Monroe. For an additional entry fee visitors can watch all episodes of The Apprentice, not sure why they’d want to since they never really disappeared to syndication, just became the new politics when reality TV actually became real.
