OUR OPINION:
TAXPAYER’S DIME
By T.K. McNeil & D. S. Mitchell
Family Man
It is a tradition in American politics for candidates to play up their religion, their military service and their progeny. Apparently one out of three is enough considering who is currently occupying the Oval Office, at least when he isn’t golfing. Trump recently re-enforced the Big Daddy reputation by taking the whole dang family (that he is willing to admit exists) on a state visit to the United Kingdom. The adult Trump children their spouses and their children were everywhere. You couldn’t turn on the TV without seeing them carrying notebooks and briefcases, and shooting selfies as if they were part of an ‘official’ diplomatic U.S. delegation.
With Spouses & Grand Kids
The visit, of course, was totally legitimized by the fact that his daughter Ivanka, and son-in-law Jared Kushner hold, thanks to him, high government positions. No other administration would have hired Trump’s adult children because they are so inept and corrupt. My God, they are so unfit they needed a presidential command to get their security clearances.
Clearances Through Nepotism
At that point resignation should have been the face-saving choice for Trump’s adult children. However, Trump Sr. chose something no other president has had the brilliance or wisdom to do, considering the “conflict of interest.” He “cleared” them by some mysterious presidential power. Nepotism at its finest. This creative action was inspired. It allowed the world’s tallest oompa-loompa to criticize his political opponents. Which he did right after his speech in front of acres of the valorous dead from many nations. There were so many white crosses it looked like it had snowed recently. What a truly intrepid and courageous trailblazer we have in the White House!
A Family Affair
There are, of course, negative Nellies on Twitter, CNN and the “failing” New York Times who think this is wrong for the president. They believe it is wrong to bring Trump’s adult children’s entire families on official business at tax payer’s cost. No other president has ever done it before; as if that is a reason he shouldn’t. It should be clear by now to all observers, that this president is a rouge, awesome, very stable genius. He does everything his own way, awesomely. Trump’s adult children of course behaved awesomely in their representation of the United States, so taxpayer dollars were awesomely spent.
Swamp King
It is not as though Trump isn’t the biggest mass of scum in the swamp; this is the swamp he keeps bragging about draining. The fact that Trump would even attempt to elevate his adult children to a level of government authority and respectability is poor optics, at best; and corrupt indulgence at worst. However, whatever this president does seems to live inside his world of delusion.
Less Than Chivalrous
Over the last two years, we have watched as Trump has demeaned and diminished the image of the American presidency. Presidential honesty and civilized behavior has been reduced to brainless National Enquirer headlines. It seems that Trump wants to govern with the same sportsman-like conduct he observes on the golf course. He advertises a lower handicap than Jack Nicklaus and beats Tiger Woods on the green. Trump is also consummately chivalrous toward the ‘fairer sex’ just ask Rosie O’Donnell or Nancy Pelosi. Additionally, as his business history comes into clearer focus, it is clear that Trump is the most unsuccessful billionaire in history. Trump received millions of dollars in inherited money. Despite his financial privilege, Donald Trump at 73 has amassed an absolutely spotless, staggering business record of failure. Yet, strangely, in the National Enquirer world of Trumpism he has become richer than Bill Gates….. if you ignore his stratospheric level of debt.
Common Interest
It is also a point no one else is clever enough to deduce; Trump is making an obvious attempt at diplomacy. As might have escaped most anti-Trumper’s attention, the Queen of England has a large family. President Awesome, of course, knew this. He, being the best at everything, committed the entire list of living royals and their titles to his camera-like memory. Master of diplomacy and expert in human behavior and psychology, His Most Awesome of Awesomeness, was smart enough to put Her Majesty at Her ease. Obviously, The Queen & Prince Philip also have numerous adult children filling “fake” political positions.
Opportunity
The “hacks and Commies” at The Washington Post claimed “these boys were on vacation” when describing Trump’s adult children visit to the U.K. with the presidential contingency. While they enjoyed their trip to the “nation of Europe”, nothing could be further from the truth. Obviously, the Washington Post would not recognize the truth if it bit them on the behind. In the real world outside the fake news bubble, the trip was all about business. And not just state business either. The Trump Organization is on the constant search for new ways to stretch ethics and the conflict of interest laws.
No Shame
Some girly men might limit themselves to one thing, or “their government jobs.” However, the men of the Trump clan are made of sterner stuff. They are able to do several things at once. Right now, Trump’s adult children are doing taxes in their head, juggling chain saws, and $200 million real estate deals. Trump’s adult children of the male species also have made time to seduce a stable of women. These women are completely willing, and in no way coerced, whether they be super models, pageant contestants, playmates or porn stars, they are all in.
Self Aggrandizing
It was no great task for Trump’s adult children to greedily promote their own businesses while on the world stage created by Daddy Don’s state visit to the U.K. They did it without even a hint of nervousness. Trump’s adult children stood above what mere mortals greatly, genetically inferior to them, refer to as “shame.”
Air Force One
According to the Bolsheviks at the Business Insider magazine, Air Force One costs $200,000 per hour to use. Assuming a six-hour round trip this is just a measly $1,000,000 that the “tax-payers” won’t be able to spend on popcorn, porn, pick-up trucks and beer. This allowed The King of Corporate Cool to pop-in on an ancient palace, truly his birth-right environment.
Duties Done
While in France, he managed to stay on script, giving a restrained speech at a memorial service for a war that ended before his birth; one in which America stayed out of until directly attacked. Such appearances were absolutely vital presidential functions that required the presence of the Trump children, their spouses, and their children. With Trump in the White House there is no need to have a vacant seat on a presidential flight.
A Sense of Security
President Twitter Thumbs is, of course, the most important man in the world. As such, he is under constant threat from an ever-growing list of enemies both foreign and domestic. They are keen to make Trump Daddy follow in Kennedy’s foot-steps in more ways than one. As such, it makes clear and obvious sense that he also be the most protected person in the world next to the Pope. Adults may they be, Trump’s children need this level of security as well.
An Ethereal Light
Penny-pinching fools, too stupid to understand how awesome Papa Trump truly is, piss and moan about the “security cost.” This is the greatest president since Jefferson to bless them with his presence and the presence of his children. Most recently, the backwater Mick’s at www.irishcentral.com authored a mewling article.
A Backroom At The Airport
The article indicated the Irish tax-payers may have to pay $11 Million for Trump’s visit. After all Ireland is a remote outpost. The 11 million was for security costs alone, not the roughly $1,500,000 travel costs. Really a small price to pay ($12,500,000) to bathe in lordship Trump’s ethereal light. The Irish Prime Minister having a non- delusional view of his meeting with Trump, decided he didn’t want to take part in an ad for Trump’s Irish golf course and opted for an airport handshake.
